About Apparently

Closing in on the final tracks of the 2014 Forest Hills Drive project, Cole reflects on the decisions he’s made in life and tries to make them right, now knowing how much people believe in him and look up to him. He expresses gratitude towards his girlfriend and his mother, apologizing to his mom and recognizing that his girl believes in him. The second verse isn’t quite as nostalgic. Cole switches tones and shows off, using wordplay. He brags about his rap skills .

Apparently Lyrics

[00:05.75] Oh right, oh
[00:10.15] Oh why na-da-da-da
[00:14.71] I keep my head high
[00:18.15] I got my wings to carry me
[00:21.80] I don't know freedom
[00:25.48] I want my dreams to rescue me
[00:28.96] I keep my faith strong
[00:32.48] I ask the Lord to follow me
[00:36.14] I've been unfaithful
[00:39.78] I don't know why you call on me
[00:43.32] This is my canvas
[00:46.25] I'ma paint it how I want it baby, oh I
[00:50.46] This is my canvas
[00:53.31] I'ma paint it, paint it, paint it, how I want it nigga
[00:56.55] Fuck you 'cause there
[00:57.75] There is no right or wrong
[00:59.43] Only a song
[01:01.18] I like to write alone
[01:02.94] Be in my zone
[01:04.79] Think back to Forest Hills, no perfect home
[01:08.52] But the only thing like home I've ever known
[01:11.24] Until they snatched it from my mama
[01:13.08] And foreclosed her on the loan
[01:14.85] I'm so sorry that I left you there to deal with that alone
[01:18.33] I was up in New York City chasin' panties, gettin' dome
[01:22.23] Had no clue what you was goin' through
[01:23.98] How could you be so strong?
[01:25.75] And how could I be so selfish, I know I can be so selfish
[01:29.55] I could tell by how I treat you with my girl
[01:31.77] Damn she so selfless, but she put up with my way
[01:34.42] Because she loves me like you do
[01:36.31] And though it do not always show
[01:38.01] I love her just like I love you
[01:40.04] And I need to treat you better
[01:44.36] Wish you could live forever
[01:47.52] So we could spend more time together
[01:52.02] I love you mama
[01:54.83] I keep my head high
[01:58.41] I got my wings to carry me
[02:01.97] I don't know freedom
[02:05.52] I want my dreams to rescue me
[02:09.13] I keep my faith strong
[02:12.73] I ask the Lord to follow me
[02:16.28] I've been unfaithful
[02:19.96] I don't know why you call on me
[02:25.52]
[02:29.29] Apparently, you believe in me
[02:36.54] You believe in me
[02:40.47]
[02:43.50] Apparently, you believe in me
[02:48.67] And I thank you for it, oh, I
[02:52.38] Another day another rhyme hoe
[02:54.08] Another day another time zone
[02:55.80] Today I woke up feelin' horny so it's only right
[02:57.33] I got two bitches playin' on my trumbone
[02:58.87] Keep up, never sure where the words would take me
[03:00.86] Niggas eat 'em up, and regurgitate me
[03:02.66] Shit jumped tight never slurred or lazy
[03:04.31] Give a virgin the urge to rape me
[03:05.74] Nigga please
[03:06.32] Best friends really make great for enemies
[03:07.97] My watch came niggas can't wait for one of these
[03:09.81] I see you nigga, this ain't no Rolex, it's a AP nigga
[03:12.35] I'm hot, dog, catch up to me nigga
[03:14.18] Uh, couldn't resist
[03:15.23] Aimed for the stars and I shouldn't have missed
[03:16.89] But I was ridin' on fumes so I stopped by the moon
[03:18.75] Now I'm sittin' on the hood of this bitch
[03:20.16] Like thanks for the view
[03:21.21] Waitin' on thanks from a few 'cause without me you wouldn't exist
[03:23.68] You know that shit gave you the blueprint don't forget
[03:26.17] Cole is your phone on zero percent
[03:27.59] Going off, now niggas showin' off
[03:29.41] Niggas swear they hard but they flowin' soft
[03:31.10] I'm taking off like boing on a big ass Boeing
[03:33.02] Gettin' head like a coin toss
[03:34.49] Too easy
[03:35.26] I keep my head high
[03:38.72] I got my wings to carry me
[03:42.43] I don't know freedom
[03:45.85] I want my dreams to rescue me
[03:49.50] I keep my faith strong
[03:53.11] I ask the Lord to follow me
[03:56.64] I've been unfaithful
