J Cole – Apparently Lyrics

Oh right, oh
Oh why na-da-da-da

I keep my head high
I got my wings to carry me
I don’t know freedom¹
I want my dreams² to rescue me
I keep my faith strong
I ask the Lord to follow me³
I’ve been unfaithful
I don’t know why you call on me

This is my canvas
I’ma paint it how I want it⁴ baby, oh I
This is my canvas
I’ma paint it, paint it, paint it, how I want it nigga
Fuck you cause there
There is no right or wrong,⁵ only a song
I like to write alone, be in my zone⁶
Think back to Forest Hills, no perfect home
But the only thing like home I’ve ever known
Until they snatched it from my mama
And foreclosed her on the loan⁷
I’m so sorry that I left you there to deal with that alone⁸
I was up in New York City chasing panties, getting dome⁹
Had no clue what you was going through, how could you be so strong?¹⁰
And how could I be so selfish, I know I can be so selfish
I could tell by how I treat you with my girl
Damn she so selfless, but she put up with my way
Because she loves me like you do¹¹
And though it don’t always show I love her just like I love you¹²
And I need to treat you better
Wish you could live forever, so we could spend more time together
(I love you mama)

I keep my head high
I got my wings to carry me
I don’t know freedom
I want my dreams to rescue me
I keep my faith strong
I ask the Lord to follow me
I’ve been unfaithful
I don’t know why you call on me

Apparently, you believe in me, you believe in me
Apparently, you believe in me and I thank you for it¹³

Another day another rhyme ho
Another day another time zone¹⁴
Today, I woke up feeling horny so it’s only right
I got two bitches playing on my trombone¹⁵
Keep up, never sure where the words would take me
Niggas eat em up, and regurgitate me¹⁶
Shit jumped tight never slurred it lazy
Give a virgin the urge to rape me¹⁷
Nigga please
Best friends really make great frenemies¹⁸
My watch came niggas can’t wait for one of these
I see you nigga, this ain’t no Rolex, it’s a AP nigga
I’m hot, dog, catch up to me nigga
Uh, couldn’t resist¹⁹
Aim for the stars and I shouldn’t have missed
But I was riding on fumes so I stopped by the moon²⁰
Now I’m sitting on the hood of this bitch
Like thanks for the view
Waiting on thanks from a few cause without me you wouldn’t exist²¹
You know that shit gave you the blueprint don’t forget
Cole is your phone on zero percent
Going off, now niggas showing off
Niggas swear they hard but they flowing soft²²
I’m taking off like boing on a big ass Boeing²³
Getting head²⁴ like a coin toss
Too easy

I keep my head high
I got my wings to carry me
I don’t know freedom
I want my dreams to rescue me
I keep my faith strong
I ask the Lord to follow me
I’ve been unfaithful
I don’t know why you call on me

Apparently, you believe in me, you believe in me
Apparently, you believe in me and I thank you for it
