Lyrics

[Intro: Common] Let's get it (Yo) [Chorus: J. Cole, Common & Both ] I never knew a luh-luh-luh, a love like this (Like this, like this, like this, like this, like)Gotta be somethin' for me to write this (Write this, write this, write this, write this, write)I never knew a luh-luh-luh, a love like this (Like this, like this, like this, like this, like)Gotta be somethin' for me to write this, yeah (Write this, write this, write this, write this, write) [Verse 1: J. Cole] Back when I was just a jit hangin' on th5 strip (Boom)She's the girl that I would see in ev5ry nigga's whip (Boom) I was much too young to truly know what constitutesThe difference between a girl next door and or a prostitute (Yeah) I heard some older brothers say they knew her from before She lost her common sense when niggas brought her out on tour (Yeah) She's all about the money now, they labeled her a whore I heard what they was sayin', but to me she seemed pure (Yeah)'Cause all I seen was beauty on her face when she would pass (Yeah) I wanted to date her, but there was no way for me to ask (Woof)'Cause I was just a youngin' and she's rippin' and a-runnin'But I knew when I get older that one day, we'd meet at last (Woof) I went to college in New York, 'cause I heard she was there (Yeah)But when I got to town, I swear it's like she disappeared I went to hit the Tunnel where they said that she would hangBut when I got off the train, I saw that it'd been closed for years (Yeah) I showed a picture to this kid, like, "Help me find her, yo" (Yeah)He looked and said, "Man, she just left a little while ago"I saw her with some luggage on the way to JFKWhen I asked what she was doin', she said, "Movin' to the A" (Fuck) [Interlude: J. Cole] Movin' to the A? (Fuck)Fuck (Fuck)Fuck, I gotta (Fuck)Alright, I'ma-I'ma-I'ma get up (Fuck) [Chorus: J. Cole, Common & Both ] I never knew a luh-luh-luh, a love like this (Like this, like this, like this, like this, like)Gotta be somethin' for me to write this (Write this, write this, write this, write this, write)I never knew a luh-luh-luh, a love like this (Like this, like this, like this, like this, like)Gotta be somethin' for me to write this, yeah (Write this, write this, write this, write this, write) [Verse 2: J. Cole] Yeah, my heart was broken, dog, I wanted to be where she was at But I was happy in a way, the South was on the map (Yeah)But niggas in the barbershop ain't feel the same as meThey said, "Shorty changed since she left the city, she got whacked" (Woof)They wanted her back, but said it sound like she was trapped (Woof) They hated the slang she used, the way her fingers snapped (Woof)It's funny how the tables turned several years later These would be the same dudes that started sayin' shit was capBut I was still in love with her, I couldn't hide that fact I found her on the internet, kept up with her like thatI sent a lot of messages, she finally wrote me back When I dropped the mixtape, she said she liked the way I rap And that was all I needed, booked a flight and it was onThe first night I'm strikin' like some lightnin' in a storm The more noise she made, it's like the better I performBut it was more than sexual, we had a deeper bond Love, she's why I put my truth into a songFor years we told each other everythin' that's goin' on She said, "I gotta tell ya, I done rocked a lot of fellasBut with you there's somethin' special, I think you could be the one" (One)Now when it comes to love, jealousy will often creepThat type of games is why two of my homies started to beefTo both of them, she said, "You're the best I ever had"And the whole time that bitch was sayin' that type of shit to me (Fuck) [Chorus: J. Cole, Common & Both ] I never knew a luh-luh-luh, a love like this (Like this, like this, like this, like this, like; huh, huh)Gotta be somethin' for me to write this (Write this, write this, write this, write this, write; gotta be somethin' for me)I never knew a luh-luh-luh, a love like this (Like this, like this, like this, like this, like)Gotta be somethin' for me to write this, yeah (Write this, write this, write this, write this, write) [Verse 3: J. Cole] Yeah, uh, I was nave to believe she was mine when I bagged her'Cause I would come to learn that none of us could truly have her She was for the streets, I'll never be her only mansI couldn't believe it when I seen her with an OnlyFans When I clicked the link inside the bio of her 'GramI saw a version of her that I couldn't understand Implants, surgically enhanced detailsPoppin' Percs, mumblin' while twerkin' BBLI'm thinkin' this the bitch that used to tell me, "Be yourself" All of a sudden, for the wealth, she's becomin' someone elseThat's when I realized as I started lookin' back The older that she gets, the younger she be tryna act In fact, I'm thinkin' that's gon' always be the caseAs long as she's alive, it's younger niggas that she'll chase But I was in my feelings, so I called her out of nameLike, "Bitch, you dead to me and why the fuck you go and change?" She screamed, "You got the nerve to say that I switched? You turned me from your main thing to your side bitch It seemed like every day you was blowin' kisses to meBut years went past, now you don't even listen to me" At first I was defensive, bitch, listen how you soundSo many niggas fucked you, now your pussy's watered down" But the more I thought about her quotes, she was rightThere was a time when she was on my phone day and night Singin' songs to me that I heard a time or twoSome were kind of old and some were kind of new But you'll see how it is gettin' older, raisin' kidsAll that spendin' time and listenin' to her is hard to do But, yo, I need to stop judgin' and accept herThe problem from the start is I was just tryna to possess herAnd have her for my own, didn't wanna let her roam Mama said, "You should've known she was like that when you met her" (Damn) [Chorus: J. Cole, Common & Both ] I never knew a luh-luh-luh, a love like this (Like this, like this, like this, like this, like; damn, she was kind of like that when I met her)Gotta be somethin' for me to write this (Write this, write this, write this, write this, write; I guess I just couldn't see her, I gotta love her for her) [Outro: J. Cole, Common & Both ] Yeah, so I'm tryna make amendsWe reminisce on old times and play the latest trendsAs long as she's alive, I know I'll always have a friendThank God, I think I'm fallin' back in love with her again I never knew a luh-luh-luh, a love like this (Like this, like this, like this, like this, like)Gotta be somethin' for me to write this
