Power Trip Lyrics
by J. Cole
"Power Trip" is likely the most intriguing of the J. Cole and Miguel collaborations, with a deep delve into the exploration of tangles found in one-sided love, obsession, and unhealthy practices in relationships. This 2013 single off rapper J. Cole's album "Born Sinner" unravels a complex tapestry of infatuation with a person who does not see him the same way, hence tying him up in his feelings. J. Cole employs compelling lyrics and tunefulness, all in a bid to articulate his vulnerability and confusion about entangled feelings.
It's more than just a simple love song: it's a love song that narrates a young, naive crush that develops into a complex, overpowering affection. The song tells a story of desire and personal growth and the hustle of coping with such intense feelings in the realities of one's life. With the chorus repeated over and over, the chorus is huge in metaphor for the love that is going on with the main character—how love can crash its way into one's head all night, and it's like a mind being run by such feelings.
"Power Trip" music video really encompasses all elements of the song to visually represent a story that culminates into shockingly dark.
J. Cole positions this track in the context of his life and how he has matured to become a top artist, emphasizing that no matter how life may change, the feelings will always be the same at the core. Among a number of his works, "Power Trip" has quintessentially retained the reflection of lyrics, some memorable tunes, and universal appeal of the message towards love, personal growth, and the immortal impact of the deepest feelings.
Power Trip Song Lyrics
Power Trip by J. Cole
Got me up all night, all I'm singin' is love songs
She got me up all night, constant drinkin' and love songs
She got me up all night, down-and-out with these love songs
She got me up all night, drownin' out with these love songs
She got me up all night, all I'm singin' is love songs
She got me up all night, constant drinkin' and love songs
She got me up all night, down-and-out with these love songs
She got me open all night, got me open all night
[J. Cole:]
Okay, back when I was sleepin' in my mama's crib
Even back then when I was up there in Mohammed crib
Payin' seventeen-hundred for the rent, money well spent
No heater, but a nigga made heat, may I vent?
Had a thing for you, even wrote the song "Dreams" for you
Cause I had dreams for you, thoughts of a ring for you
Childish sh*t, you know child and sh*t
Anonymous flowers sent, you know coward sh*t
Now a nigga signed to Hov, took a power trip
Back home I'm grown now and this city's my throne now
The same clubs that I used to get tossed out
Life got Kriss Kross'd, Totally Krossed Out
Cause now I'm in this b**ch and I'm totally bossed out
Old chicks cryin' cause they know that they lost out
But I'm still on you, I'm still on you
My drink spilled on me, while I feel on you
I'm saying...
[Miguel & J. Cole:]
Would you believe me if I said I'm in love?
Baby, I want you to want me
Would you believe me if I said I'm in love?
Baby, I want you
And we are, we are, we are
Got me up all night
And we are, we are, we are
All I'm singin' is love songs
And we are, we are, we are
Got me up all night
And we are, we are, we are
She got me
And we are, we are, we are
She got me
[J. Cole:]
Well this has got to be the longest crush ever
If I ever get to f**k it'd be the longest bust ever
Love is a drug, like the strongest stuff ever
And, f**k it I'm on one, you feel me?
She on a power trip, she got me where she want a nigga
Wifin' in the club, man my homies gon' disown a nigga
Like "Give me 20 dollars, dollars."
Ass stupid, how you get to college, college
I'm in your city and I'm wonderin' if you're home now
Went and found a man, but I'm hopin' you're alone now
Can't help but feelin' like I dropped the ball, cliché
I used to pop up on you at the mall each day
Now typically I kick game like Eastbay
But you got a nigga freeze-framed yellin', "Please play!"
For Pete's sake, homie pull it together
Just f**k her one time and be through it forever
But...
[Miguel & J. Cole:]
Would you believe me if I said I'm in love?
Baby, I want you to want me
Would you believe me if I said I'm in love?
Baby, I want you
And we are, we are, we are
Got me up all night
And we are, we are, we are
All I'm singin' is love songs
And we are, we are, we are
Got me up all night
And we are, we are, we are
She got me
And we are, we are, we are
She got me
[J. Cole:]
Got me up all night, all I'm singin' is love songs
She got me up all night, constant drinkin' and love songs
She got me up all night, down-and-out with these love songs
She got me up all night, drownin' out with these love songs
She got me up all night, all I'm singin' is love songs
She got me up all night, constant drinkin' and love songs
She got me up all night, down-and-out with these love songs
She got me open all night, got me open all night
