Cordae Chronicles

His sophomore effort From a Birds Eye View has been receiving an ample amount of praise from Hip Hop fans, so we thought we’d highlight yet another track from Cordae’s labor of love. The rising rapper has been meticulously etching out his legacy in the Rap arena, and he has been seeking counsel and advice from those who came before him. From a Birds Eye View hosts looks from chart-topping legends like Nas and Lil Wayne, but Cordae also commanded attention from his peers, including Lil Durk and H.E.R.

The latter two artists appeared alongside Cordae on “Chronicles,” and although it is unclear if this will become an official single, fans have called it a standout.

“Each individual song has a significant place in my heart as they were all inspired by real life events, emotions and experiences,” Cordae penned on Instagram. He then asked fans to listen to the record in its entirety from beginning to end without “skips or interruptions” in order to hear the project as it was intended to be metabolized.

Lyrics

[Intro: Cordae]
Yeah, uh-huh

[Chorus: Cordae]
I’m on this road, and I’m not sure where my heart is headed (Mm)
And if you left me now, I know how far I’d regret it
Told you once, tell you twice that I’m indebted, huh
But I can’t waste no time, you know my time is precious (Hey)

[Verse 1: Cordae]
Hit up Eliantte for that diamond necklace (Hey)
Tell me you don’t need shit, girl, and I’ll respect it (Ooh)
I’m on the road too much, shit kinda hectic
Telling you what’s on my mind, don’t use my thoughts as leverage (Hey, huh)
I been travelin’ ’round these crossroads (Hey)
Gotta compromise some shit but that’s a small toll (Huh)
Crazy when we first met, we was lost souls
But I know I gotta grow
I lace my bitch in the best, give her designer sex
If I fucked up, I’m sorry, here’s fifty racks for the stress
Not easy to impress, always wonder what’s next
I go as deep as I can and make her shake like tourettes

[Pre-Chorus: Cordae & H.E.R.]
They say love is no miracle and lust ain’t no thing
But trust is something you should know, but we both been through pain

[Chorus: Cordae with H.E.R.]
I’m on this road, and I’m not sure where my heart is headed (Mm)
And if you left me now, I know how far I’d regret it
Told you once, tell you twice that I’m indebted, huh
But I can’t waste no time, you know my time is precious (Hey)

[Verse 2: H.E.R.]
I just need love, I need someone to give me more perspective
You on your grind just hoping, call me when you get a second
Yeah, I don’t need no lectures, baby, I just need your presence
And I promise I’m gon’ stay no matter where we left it
Time and effort, I just need time and effort
Temptations in my past, got all the times I was tested
You wanna go but just make sure that we stay connected
I know you solid, so I promise you that I’m invested

[Pre-Chorus: H.E.R.]
Love is so beautiful, lust is your skin, yeah
Trust is something you should know if we both feel the same, yeah

[Chorus: Cordae with H.E.R.]
I’m on this road, and I’m not sure where my heart is headed, yeah (Mm)
And if you left me now, I know how far I’d regret it
Told you once, tell you twice that I’m indebted, huh
But I can’t waste no time, you know my time is precious (Hey)

[Verse 3: Lil Durk]
Richard Mille the 360 ’cause you been real with me 360
Street nigga buy all drugs but you made a nigga buy you new titties
I made room, I care to make you love me, not make Shade Room
Ain’t scared to say I love you, but to be honest, you can’t be someone, ain’t worth it
I tried, you tell me I spend my time with all my guys
Knowing we don’t spend time
I say I’ma stop but I still do
These gon’ be the same ones that’s gon’ kill for you

[Chorus: Cordae, H.E.R., & Both]
I’m on this road, and I’m not sure where my heart is headed, yeah (Mm)
And if you left me now, I know how far I’d regret it
Told you once, tell you twice that I’m indebted, huh
But I can’t waste no time, you know my time is precious (Hey)
I’m on this road, and I’m not sure where my heart is headed
And if you left me now, I know how far I’d regret it
Told you once, tell you twice that I’m indebted
But I can’t waste no time, you know my time is precious

[Outro: H.E.R.]
Diamond necklace, don’t need no diamond necklace
Respect it
I’m on the go
Don’t waste no time
