About No Role Modelz

​J. Cole believes that shallow, materialistic “L.A. hoes” got that way because their only role models were talentless reality TV stars. But Cole also had no role models growing up, so what does that make him? A conflicted man who indulges in empty lust even though he knows it doesn’t make him happy. “No Role Modelz” was already a fan favorite on Cole’s tour before being released as the fourth single from his third album, 2014 Forest Hills Drive. .

No Role Modelz Lyrics

[00:18.86] First things first rest in peace Uncle Phil
[00:22.78] For real
[00:23.43] You the only father that I ever knew
[00:25.46] I get my - pregnant, I'ma be a better you
[00:28.05] Prophecies that I made way back in the Ville
[00:32.39] Fulfilled
[00:33.12] Listen, even back when we was broke, my team ill
[00:35.76] Martin Luther King would've been on Dreamville, talk to a -
[00:38.87] One time for my L.A. sisters
[00:41.35] One time for my L.A. -
[00:43.76] Lame - can't tell the difference
[00:46.00] One time for a - who know
[00:47.87] Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
[00:50.33] Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
[00:52.70] Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
[00:55.17] Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
[00:57.95] No role models, and I'm here right now
[01:00.22] No role models to speak of
[01:01.80] Searchin' through my memory, my memory, I couldn't find one
[01:04.86] Last night, I was gettin' my feet rubbed by the baddest -
[01:07.72] Not Trina, but I swear to God, this - will make you call your girl up
[01:10.57] And tell her, "Hey, what's good?
[01:11.61] Sorry, I'm never comin' home, I'ma stay for good"
[01:14.36] Then hang the phone up and proceed to lay the wood
[01:16.48] I came fast like 911 in white neighborhoods
[01:20.29] Ain't got no shame 'bout it
[01:21.27] She think I'm spoiled, and I'm rich 'cause I can have any -
[01:23.50] I got defensive and said, "Nah, I was the same without it"
[01:26.23] But then I thought back, back to a better me
[01:28.71] Before I was a B-list celebrity
[01:30.81] 'Fore I started callin' - so heavily
[01:33.18] Back when you could get a platinum plaque without no melody
[01:35.30] You wasn't sweatin' me
[01:36.45] One time for my L.A. sisters
[01:38.65] One time for my L.A. -
[01:41.25] Lame - can't tell the difference
[01:43.35] One time for a - who know
[01:45.48] Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
[01:47.82] Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
[01:50.12] Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
[01:52.73] Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
[01:55.08] I want a real love, dark-skinned Aunt Viv love
[01:58.23] That Jada and that Will love
[01:59.90] That leave a toothbrush at your crib love
[02:02.12] And you ain't gotta wonder whether that's your kid love
[02:04.93] I don't want no - from reality shows
[02:07.68] Out-of-touch-with-reality -
[02:09.47] Out in Hollywood bringin' back five or six -
[02:12.15] 'Em then we kick 'em to the do', - you know how it go
[02:14.99] She deserved that, she a bird, it's a bird trap
[02:17.23] You think if I didn't rap, she would flirt back?
[02:19.37] Takin' off her skirt, let her wear my shirt, 'fore she leave
[02:22.17] "I'ma need my shirt back" (-, you know how it go)
[02:24.46] One time for my L.A. sisters
[02:26.93] One time for my L.A. -
[02:29.25] Lame - can't tell the difference
[02:31.64] One time for a - who know
[02:33.50] Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
[02:35.96] Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
[02:38.28] Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
[02:40.71] Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
[02:43.48] There's an old saying in Tennessee
[02:45.65] I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee
[02:47.01] That says, "Fool me once, shame on, shame on you
[02:53.12]
[02:56.43] Fool me-, can't get fooled again"
[02:57.61] Fool me one time, shame on you (ayy)
[03:00.17] Fool me twice, can't put the blame on you (ayy)
[03:02.59] Fool me three times, - the peace sign
[03:05.09] Load the chopper, let it rain on you (bop, bop, bop)
[03:07.49] Fool me one time, shame on you (ayy)
[03:09.82] Fool me twice, can't put the blame on you (ayy)
[03:12.03] Fool me three times, - the peace sign
[03:14.68] Load the chopper, let it rain on you (bop, bop, bop)
[03:16.55] My only regret was too young for Lisa Bonet
[03:19.04] My only regret was too young for Nia Long

[03:26.22] My only regret was too young for Sade Adu
[03:28.48] My only regret, could never take Aaliyah home
