Old Dog Lyrics by J. Cole
Ring, ring, who the *** is that?
It’s a 9-1-0 number, so you know a *** set (Ha)
NC state, .26 weight (Ha)
Let’s live it up with some Carolina plates (Live in the 26, ha)
Let’s get clean, blow his spleen (You know what I mean? Because our sauce the boost)
Let’s pay it off, we [ducked that stream][?] (Who gon’ test me, ***?)
Yeah (Carolina ***)
.26 with the blueprint, yeah, it made
Old dog with some new tricks, had a baby
No more record deal, yeah, I’m fresh up out of slavery (Yeah)
Uh, I’m back home for the time being
C-O-L-E stayed up, N.C., that’s where you’ll find me in
Right off of 95, we had a little town meeting
Down in the villa, if you real, then you can chime in
Now real don’t mean that you got paper or you ride Benz
Or selling white to all yo’ clients that don’t mind seeing
Not being real to me, you stand on what the *** you do
We on the map, we in Atlanta, but we snuck on through
I had a plan, put on the lead I got accustomed to
It’s so precarious, so much random niggas clutchin’ twos
It’s nothing new, they carry hammers into public schools
Heard— talkin’ down, but then it’s *** him too
It’s nothing new, ***, we been hated for a long while
Before I blew, ***, we was known as the problem child
A Carolina bear of mind, we never had ***
But now the GOAT is from this ***, so all that’s past tense
We gas ***, ***
.26 with the blueprint, yeah, it made
Old dog with some new tricks, had a baby
No more record deal, yeah, I’m fresh up out of slavery (Yeah)
Pay dues, now I want what’s due, ***, pay me
Carolina ***, oh, don’t you forget
Take yo’ *** shirt off and just swing it ’round this ***
The money is a mindset if you already rich
Take yo’ *** shirt off and just swing it ’round this ***
Uh, I had to leave these green palm trees to get it
Said when I got it, I was gon’ bring it back, ***, and guess what? I did it, uh
Live in the Civic, uh, came back in the Lamb’
Feelin’ like Tupac in Atlanta, bought me two plots of land
Some would’ve ducked off of my fam’, practice my jumpshot in my trailer
Thinkin’ I’m too big to come home ’cause I got the planet over my head, uh
***, what? I’m gon’ brag right now
MPD, he behind me, he runnin’ my tags right now
I can’t be too upset, they got a reason to check
This *** regular in New York, but if y’all ain’t seen this yet
Now I’m gon’ be who I’m gon’ be regardless of the
[Implements drone][?] on the key, real *** put on for N.C.
For somethin’ that’s hard to believe, shout out to [?] Pablo, he did that long before me
I just got home from a tour and I brought my partner with me
Let it run through freaks that stack they dollars, we learned it all on the streets
In the V-I-L-L-E
Carolina ***, oh, don’t you forget
Take yo’ *** shirt off and just swing it ’round this ***
The money is a mindset if you already rich
Take yo’ *** shirt off and just swing it ’round this ***
.26 with the blueprint, yeah, it made
Old dog with some new tricks, had a baby
No more record deal, yeah, I’m fresh up out of slavery (Yeah)
Pay dues, now I want what’s due, ***, pay me
***, pay me (Yeah, ha, different sound that’s just as fire)
Pay us, *** (On my ***’— ha, hell yeah)
(Louis Heights might be doomed) This *** Carolina ***, ***
(Drag Boulevard, Great Creek, ha) Rough Friday
(Goddamn, bust, OVO, [Percocet][?] Road) Oldest *** in the [?]
The Dray Four (Johnson Street), G Burrow, show ’em and pick motherfuckin’ up (Covenant Road, Shaw Road)
Shout out DaBaby (Feel me?), you feel me, yeah, number ten
(All my boys in the west) Southeast
(South Carolina’s next ***) Southeast (To love me, yeah)
It’s the southeast (Charleston, goddamn Greenville)
It’s the southeast (I done been all over this *** Florence)
Uh, it’s the southeast (***)
