WHO TF IZ U
[Intro: J. Cole]
Ring, ring, who the fuck is that?
This a 9-1-0 number, so you know a nigga zapped (Ha)
Okay, o-o-okay
O— hm, okay, o-o-okay, o—
[Chorus: J. Cole]
Who the fuck is you? (Who the fuck? Okay)
Who the fuck is you? (Who the fuck? O-o-okay)
Who the fuck is you? (Who the fuck? )
Who the fuck is you? (Who the fuck? Who)
Out the way (Okay), it's a real nigga comin’ through (Who, o—)
Out the way (Okay), it's a real nigga comin' through
[Refrain]
What it is, ho?
What it is, ho?
What it is, ho?
What it is, ho?
What it is, ho?
What it is, ho?
What it is, ho?
What it is, ho?[Verse 1: J. Cole]
Come view the style of the unibrowed Unabomber
Who maneuvered through the drama with a suit of armor
Movin’ calmer than the Buddha, duckin' funeral parlors
First the hootin', hollerin', and then the shootin' start up
Queue the saga, the root of all the
Evil ain't the paper with the eagle, but what people would do for dollars
Let off a troop of hollows from German Rugers, they used to do the honors
Congruent with shit that I do to rhymers
On Deuteronomy, ain't shit niggas can do but honor me
What I'm quotin’ is God’s scope and come view the pottery
I blaze by graveyards and destitute economies
Full of thug bones for refusin' to move in harmony
Drug traffickin’, slugs blastin', we move accordingly
And run faster than blood travels through human arteries
We know exactly what it means when niggas show 9s, .22s, .45s, we studyin' numerology, nigga
[Refrain]
What it is, ho?
What it is, ho?
What it is, ho?
What it is, ho?
What it is, ho?
What it is, ho?
What it is, ho?
What it is, ho? Bitch[Chorus: J. Cole]
Who the fuck is you? (Who the fuck?)
Who the fuck is you? (Who the fuck?)
Who the fuck is you? (Who the fuck?)
Who the fuck is you? (Who the fuck?)
Out the way, it's a real nigga comin’ through (Fuck out my face)
Out the way, it's a real nigga comin' through (Fuck out my face; what it is, ho?)
Who the fuck is you? (Who the fuck? What it is, ho?)
Who the fuck is you? (Who the fuck? What it is, ho?)
Who the fuck is you? (Who the fuck? What it is, ho?)
Who the fuck is you? (Who the fuck? What it is, ho?)
Out the way, it's a real nigga comin' through (Fuck out my face)
Out the way, it's a real nigga
[Verse 2: J. Cole]
Every bar is a part of the murder wrath
Call PETA, them people choppin' a bird in half
Breakin' further down to whatever's gon' earn the math
Exchange pounds for dollars and never converted cash
Welcome to the South where they servin' the dirt and grass
The streets ain't safe, I prefer the deserted path
Was walkin' with my Walkman one day when I heard a blast
Loud enough to shatter the earth into thirds, I gasped
Hauled ass and my legs got to turnin' fast
Straight past the victim, he hobblin', hurtin' bad
Heard way back he slick, tried to take half a brick
They say payback's a bitch and I guess he incurred a tab
While they was masterin' scales like they learnin' jazz
I was makin' sure they refer to my first and last
Name, Jermaine Cole, with Hall of Fame flows
From Kane Road with Kane soul on the dang low
Do anything for bankroll that you can't fold
But ridin' through the block is detectives in plain clothes
Which likely means soon you'll be singin' familiar tunes
In interrogation rooms gettin' questioned by Zane Lowe[Part II]
[Chorus: J. Cole]
Who the fuck is you? (Who the fuck?)
Who the fuck is you? (Who the fuck?)
Who the f—, who the f—, who the f—
Who the fuck?
[Verse: J. Cole]
Yeah, you know who put the city on (They know it)
Came back through, wrote gold, they PETA show, I'm really on (I show it, nigga)
Get rich or die tryin', I had fifty on (Cha-ching)
Bitches ringin' in my phone, "Like, is you really home?" (Hello? Brr, brr, brr)
I stay out the way since I done seen a million (A milli')
Five percent tints and plus I got this hoodie on
I had to humble up, stop movin' with that jewelry on (No flex)
You hear that baritone tone, this shit get deep as Giveon
I'm a sidewalk nigga, I'ma stay there
I leave the streets for the ones that wanna play there
I done leveled up so shawty want a date, yeah
Left my kids in her mouth like a daycare
I'm the Carolina nominal Shakespeare
All that cap you let them niggas rap is over with
The real is back, you feel a way, you gotta cope with it
The 'Ville put a nigga six feet like back when COVID hit, okay
These niggas ain't talkin' 'bout shit (They ain't talkin' 'bout nothin')
No diamonds on my neck, no Rollie on my wrist (I ain't got no diamonds on, uh-uh)
Two-six, I done lurked a little bit (Okay)
I learned the hardest nigga, he can always get hit (Well, damn)
Out the jungle, I done fucked around and got rich (Well, damn)
Zero dollars in my pocket, bitch, I'm not a lick (Not a what?)
I'd rather that than gotta walk around with sticks
'Cause I learned the hardest nigga, he can always get— (Hit)
[Chorus: J. Cole]
Who the fuck is you? (Who the fuck?)
Who the fuck is you? (Who the fuck?)
Who the fuck is you? (Who the fuck?)
Who the fuck is you? (Who the fuck?)
Out the way, it's a real nigga comin' through (Fuck out my face)
Out the way, it's a 'Ville nigga comin' through (Fuck out my face)
Who the fuck is you? (Who the fuck?)
Who the fuck is you? (Who the fuck?)
Who the fuck is you? (Who the fuck?)
Who the fuck is you? (Who the fuck?)
Out the way, it's a real nigga comin' through (Fuck out my face)
