[Flame] 🔥 J. Cole - Apparently Lyrics
[Intro]
 Oh, right, oh
 Oh, why, na-da-da-da
[Chorus]
 I keep my head high
 I got my wings to carry me
 I don’t know freedom
 I want my dreams to rescue me
 I keep my faith strong
 I ask the Lord to follow me
 I’ve been unfaithful
 I don’t know why you call on me
[Verse 1]
 This is my canvas (Yeah, my canvas)
 I’ma paint it how I want it baby, oh I
 This is my canvas
 I’ma paint it, paint it, paint it, how I want it nigga
 Fuck you ’cause there, there is no right or wrong, only a song
 I like to write alone, be in my zone
 Think back to Forest Hills, no perfect home
 But the only thing like home I’ve ever known
 Until they snatched it from my mama
 And foreclosed her on the loan
 I’m so sorry that I left you there to deal with that alone
 I was up in New York City chasing panties, getting dome
 Had no clue what you was going through
 How could you be so strong?
 And how could I be so selfish? I know I can be so selfish
 I could tell by how I treat you with my girl, damn she so selfless
 But she put up with my ways because she loves me like you do
 And though it don’t always show, I love her just like I love you, and
 I need to treat you better
 Wish you could live forever
 So we could spend more time together
 I love you mama
[Chorus]
 I keep my head high
 I got my wings to carry me
 I don’t know freedom
 I want my dreams to rescue me
 I keep my faith strong
 I ask the Lord to follow me
 I’ve been unfaithful
 I don’t know why you call on me
[Post-Chorus]
 E-e-eee, e-e, apparently
 You believe in me, you believe in me
 E-e-eee, e-e, apparently
 You believe in me, and I thank you for it, oh, I
[Verse 2]
 Another day, another rhyme, ho
 Another day, another time zone
 Today, I woke up feeling horny so it’s only right, I got two bitches playing on my trombone
 Keep up, never sure where the words would take me
 Niggas eat em up and regurgitate me
 Shit trump tight never slurred it lazy
 Give a virgin the urge to rape me, nigga please
 Best friends really make great for enemies
 My watch came, niggas can’t wait for one of these
 I see you, nigga, this ain’t no Rolex, it’s an AP, nigga
 I’m hot, dog, catch up to me, nigga— huh, couldn’t resist
 Aim for the stars and I shouldn’t have missed
 But I was riding on fumes, so I stopped by the moon
 Now I’m sitting on the hood of this bitch
 Like, “Thanks for the view,” waiting on thanks from a few
 ‘Cause without me you wouldn’t exist
 You know that shit, gave you the blueprint, don’t forget
 Cold as your phone on zero percent
 Going off, now niggas showing off
 Niggas swear they hard, but they flowing soft
 I’m taking off like “boing!” on a big ass Boeing, and getting head like a coin toss, too easy
[Chorus]
 I keep my head high
 I got my wings to carry me
 I don’t know freedom
 I want my dreams to rescue me
 I keep my faith strong
 I ask the Lord to follow me
 I’ve been unfaithful
 I don’t know why you call on me
[Post-Chorus]
 E-e-eee, e-e, apparently
 You believe in me, you believe in me
 E-e-eee, e-e, apparently
 You believe in me, and I thank you for it, oh I
