Freewrite to J. Cole's "2014 Forest Hills Drive Intro"

When you're aware of how happiness works
And you know how not having it hurts
When you see everyone else with it
And you hate this feeling of jealousness
So you turn to the power of lyrics
To empower the spirit
Because it's the one thing you're sure can make a difference
The challenge
Before you make them listen
You make yourself listen
You be your biggest fan of yourself spitting
So you go to work
Every time you write
It's like looking for gold in dirt
Dig deeper with every rhyme
And you find it every time
But this isn't luck
This is a blessing that keeps on blessing
It strengthens
Empowers
Causes the spirit to bloom, you are the flower
In that dark room
Feeding on the light of your art's moon
And within that you learn
Once you become beauty in your struggle
You never overheat, just burn
And shine
Too bright for the negative eye
You'll make it blind
So it never looks in your direction
Yeah bitch don't kill my vibe
I want to be happy
I want to be free
Free from pain
Free from strain
Free to bleed
Free to speak
My heart free to beat with glee
Free to see
Where I stand
While still free to be a man
Free from demons
Free from limits
Free to feel in my lyrics
Free to dream
Free to paint
Paint my heart
Life's a canvas, I paint my art
Free to walk
Free to trip
Free to fall and still move on
Rise again to try again
Free to walk
Free to jump
Use the bumps I've come across
As a stepping-stone
Free to soar
Free to fall
Free to say my body's sore
Rise again to try again
Free to soar
Free to fall
Rise again to try again
Free to soar
Free to fall
Physically weak and all but faith is strong
Rise once more
Try once more
Free to soar
Free to fly
Reach the stars
Reach the doors and speak to God
She says "Look where you came
Look how far you done came"
Dreams do come true
And it really is a beautiful thing
"That's something to be proud of
That's something to smile about
You see where you used to be
You're no longer institutionalized
You're free"
