Show Me Something J. Cole

[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Uh-uh, yeah, yeah, yeah, uh

[Chorus]
What am I here for?
I'm a man so I cannot let them tears fall
But understand tryna get my head clear y'all
This shit is on my mind
Asking for the Lord to show me all my signs
Show me something, uh
'Cause I'm tryna find something, uh
I'm lost, can you show me something? Uh
I'm lost, can you show me something? Yeah

[Verse 1]
Uh, yeah
I sit and reminisce on them niggas no longer here (Rest in peace)
And how I used to hit the mall and y'all was always there (Yeah)
I sit and think how I ain't grow up with my father there (Yeah)
No need to cry 'cause it only made me stronger yeah (Uh huh)
I watch my brother get in trouble with the law and yeah (Uh)
That shit cut me like I was sitting in a barber chair (Uh)
'Cause I don't wanna see him locked up in them bars in there (Yeah, yeah)
And I don't wanna see him stretched out in a coffin yet (Uh)
I'm wishing I can move my momma out so far from here (So far from here)
I know that she deserve much better, she worked hard as hell (She worked hard as hell)
That's why you never see me settle 'cause they want us here (They want us here nigga)
I'm tryna sidestep the devil but he heartless yeah (He heartless)
But just know that I'm a rebel and yo it's almost here (It's almost here)
I'm talking 'bout the revolution, I am Paul Revere (I am Paul Revere, yeah)
So dry your eyes, Momma please you can pause them tears (Pause them tears)
'Cause I promise I'm gon' get us outta here (I'm gon get us outta here)
I'm gonna get us outta here
