Evil Ways (feat. J. Cole) Lyrics
[00:01.67] Yeah (oh, baby, be honest with yourself)
[00:04.26] Yeah
[00:07.36] Everything good, everything pure (there's some things in life and you know)
[00:14.71] (Ooh, ways, if you wanna keep that guy)
[00:18.85] Everything pure
[00:19.73] (You've got to change your evil ways, if you wanna keep that–)
[00:25.87] Yeah, I got some evil ways
[00:28.52] Even through the glasses, you could see the gaze
[00:31.35] To find your way up to the top, this – gon' be a maze
[00:34.49] Volkswagen – the way I'm runnin' Beatles plays
[00:37.43] Yeah, and we linkin' like we freed the slaves
[00:40.49] I conquered hell, I walked the 'Ville and set my feet ablaze
[00:43.35] My heart hardens every year like sneakers that Adidas made
[00:46.76] I never did the VMAs, I'm not in need of praise
[00:50.01] All praise to the born sinners Jesus saves
[00:52.88] My brothers runnin' through the 6ix like the Green Berets
[00:55.87] Beefin' with a block that's five hundred feet away
[00:58.70] Wheel of Fortune – the way they say they need a K
[01:01.91] Nah, uh, I only need a raise
[01:05.21] And a safe to stash these Frito Lays
[01:07.43] Times was hard, I watched my mama robbin' Paul just to get Peter paid
[01:11.70] And now my paper folded like when teachers don't want classmates to see your grade
[01:15.86] Time is speedin' now, I see the grays pokin' out this beard
[01:19.03] But it's weird 'cause I feel like I ain't even age (yeah)
[01:21.74] Y'all seize the rage, feet firmly planted for these precious flowers I've been handed
[01:25.95] Watch me be the vase
[01:27.60] Man, I'm livin' out Carlito's way
[01:29.51] You – ain't gettin' no bread, you in a keto phase
[01:32.65] Wisdom comin' out my mouth like some teethin' pain
[01:35.70] My whip used to have the seat displays where S.M.A.C.K. DVD would play
[01:39.54] Zopiclone baby, I can't rest without the sleepin' aids
[01:42.63] Bought this – jewels, these –s is light, let's get it reappraised
[01:45.68] I bet you see the price and you gon' be amazed
[01:48.12] And broski didn't do it, he like a piece of art, judge, he was framed
[01:51.83] Some feed the J's to receive a wage
[01:53.83] – got they nose bleedin' like the seats where you can't see the stage
[01:58.14] High up in arenas where they see their faves
[02:00.62] AKA me and Drizzy Drake, we the wave
[02:03.55] Uh, yeah, we the wave
[02:06.59] Like Christian Combs with a brush in his hand once the grease is laid
[02:10.20] – is 360 like the label deal you signed to get your people paid
[02:14.19] Me, I got tickets like a meter maid
[02:16.38] And 21 my – like he celebratin' legal age
[02:19.25] Next time I get in ROSALÍA face
[02:21.74] I hope she tell her people that we need some space
[02:23.99] – think I won't get 'em hit, but like an Indian marriage, it could be arranged
[02:28.64] Diss me and just may see us on your block like the street parade
[02:32.51] At the top playin' keep-away with the crown
[02:34.89] Our life's an open book, come and read a page
[02:37.05] Drake pulled a white – that's goin' both ways, she like the queen of spades
[02:40.72] I'm startin' to think they – is fake, they – is laced
[02:43.53] For thinkin' it's a game, if it's a game, these streets would be Bushido's Blade
[02:47.44] Razor to his face and he ain't need a shave
[02:50.29] I stay out of beef, seen –' DNA get rearranged
[02:53.25] I'm with Drizzy in Atlanta, so many hitters with that –, they could be the Braves
[02:57.49] Young angel goin' through his demon phase
[02:59.65] Hard to blame 'em, Lord knows this game can be depraved
[03:02.44] Scary Hours undefeated, y'all should be afraid
[03:06.40] Yeah, y'all should be afraid
[03:13.90] Ooh, ways, if you wanna keep that guy
[03:18.25] You've got to change your evil ways, if you wanna keep that–
[03:24.95] Oh, baby, be honest with yourself
[03:29.31] There's some things in life and you know
[03:36.34] Ooh, ways, if you wanna keep that guy
