  • If you believe in me, prove it
    When the time come, and the time will come
    When I pass the choppa, shoot (shoot)
    Yeah, yeah
    If you believe in me, prove it
    If the time come, and the time will come
    When I pass the choppa, shoot
    (That time, get ready, maintain, hold on
    That time, get ready, maintain, hold on)

    Yeah, believe in me, believe in me
    Read for me, grieve for me
    If I'm gone, and carry on on your own
    You're way stronger than you think
    Ain't no safety if it ain't safe
    Headshot or the bass, cut the head off the snake
    In the grass of your yard, they tryna pull your card
    Show your hand, keep it clean, they gon' jam, understand
    I know, I know you wanna be the bigger person
    If all they want to do is hurt you, show 'em how the trigger workin'

    If you believe in me, prove it
    When the time come, and the time will come
    When I pass the choppa, shoot (shoot)
    Yeah, yeah
    If you believe in me, prove it
    If the time come, and the time will come
    When I pass the choppa, shoot
    (That time, get ready, maintain, hold on
    That time, get ready, maintain, hold on)

    Yeah, post quarters across the borders of life
    Now these ain't orders in case you don't get 'em right
    I seen what happen to us when the havin' a lots
    Have had enough of the fact that you been did more with the scraps that was given
    And they hate to see you passin' 'em
    Tax invasion, watch the cages, think we apes or we animals
    They can't pick, they turn violence, spray the TEC
    Epa gnihtab, dnal ffo evig
    That was yours in the sand
    It's the realest, let me tell it
    Once I'm sure it won't jam

    If you believe in me, prove it
    When the time come, and the time will come
    When I pass the choppa, shoot (shoot)
    Yeah, yeah
    If you believe in me, prove it (prove it)
    If the time come, and the time will come
    When I pass the choppa, shoot (when I pass the choppa, shoot, yeah)

    Big K.R.I.T., my nigga, I feel your shit
    Been feelin' your shit since Felton put me on
    I put him on Dot, he put me on K.R.I.T
    Was here since then, now year's half-gone
    I wrote more songs than a man can count
    Tryna figure out how to put 'em out
    Without waterin' down my brand
    I don't want 'em to not want my jams
    Don't wanna become something that nobody wanna hear
    But I recognize this as a bitch-ass fear
    Why the fuck do I care if I ain't got your ear?
    Then I ain't revered, if I ain't revered then why am I here?
    What if these songs you refuse to share
    All due to the fact that you insecure
    Coulda helped somebody out there like you
    See the world more clear, let me switch gear
    Allow me to use this feature
    To shoutout one of the first fans that a nigga ever had named Felicia
    I was brand new to the game, wasn't used to no fame
    So it was unusual I would land in a city and see you at baggage claim
    Come to find out you was workin' for Delta
    So you got to fly for the free and that means
    That I was seein' you like every show
    At first it felt weird but you was just so
    Casual 'bout it and not some over-the-top fan
    And that was just lettin' me know
    "I really fuck with you Cole"
    Today I saw you post some terrible news as I scroll so
    This one is for you, want you to pull through
    I better see you on the road

    If you believe in me, prove it Writer/s: Everett Young, Jermaine Cole, Justin Scott, Russell Ferrante
