Dreamville - Sacrifices ft. EARTHGANG, J. Cole, Smino & Saba (Official Music Video) 

J Cole's verse is what a man feels when he is loved by a woman like he's never been before...

Seeing smino and saba on a video, with jcole, is gonna make alot of people proud of them.

Who's Here In 2024

Cole is a musical genius, he starts off by saying "You can't be everything to everybody" then proceeds to say a whole bunch of stuff he wants to be for somebody (ie his wife or whoever) meaning that truly you can't be everything to everybody but you can be everything to somebody

This has got to be the most honest J. Cole has ever been when talking about his wife. Especially on a song. It is amazing.

i just hope Saba gets the recognition he deserves

For the world you’re nobody , but for somebody you’re the world.

i just hope Saba gets the recognition he deserves what a music right here a u t h e n t I c v i e w s dun took J. Cole oFf 2 da big leagues and fo dat I will always be super grateful

A Moment of silence for those who never heard this Song...

Who’s so happy to see artists like Saba grow like this

Still choke up when I sing along with coles verse everytime

This man said “dangerous is when there ain’t no one to check you” that shit resonates on a different level

This song literally makes me want to better myself in every way. If you're reading this, I'm sending positive vibes your way 😁✌

Hopefully saba and smino and Johnny are more recognized after this, no one deserves it more

Cole] Huggin' the block, huggin' the block all day I had nowhere to go, she gave me a place to stay She gave me her heart to hold, I still got that shit to this day She ridin' with me on the road, she ridin' with me in the A Huggin' the block, huggin' the block, okay She gave me the gift of my son, and plus we got one on the way She gave me a family to love, for that, I can never repay I'm crying while writing these words, the tears, they feel good on my face, hey [Refrain: J. Cole] And yesterday could feel just like a waste, yeah If I don't love you how I'm supposed to And yesterday could feel just like a waste, yeah If I don't love you how I'm supposed to [Chorus: Johnny Venus] I make sacrifices, bloody sacrifices

Cole always inspires me to write a verse!

“You can’t be everything to everybody” It be like that sometime ;(

I don't know who needs to hear this, but your life matters and we need your energy. Hang in there, time heals everything.

“She gave me a place to stay, she gave me a heart to hold… I still got that sh*t till this day”🥰 So beautiful.. This whole song is a masterpiece.

Once you’ve reached the maximum level of a music listener then you’ll realize that this is song is GOLDEN

Who else has J. Cole verse on repeat?

People look at me funny when I tell them this is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard....and that's ok.

Who's with me here in 2024, this is classic 🔥🔥

Johnny Venus's verse hits me so hard man, the song being dedicated to his father just makes it resonate more. Amazing song.

J coles verse about his wife is an all time love poem. I'm happy to be alive during this time in musical history

You can’t be everything to everybody

J Cole verse is bigger than all Drake and Kendrick diss tracks

Just now realizing for the first time that this song is 6 minutes long… so good that it’s timeless

Chance listening to this like " that's all I was trying to say!!"

This J Cole verse is legendary, I get goosebumps everytime

What the hell did I just watch? This is the rawest, most pure expression of musical talent I've seen from J. Cole. I completely lost track of time while it played. Everybody on here was impressive, even the camera crew. This video is going to haunt me for awhile. Cole isn't just a rapper, he's an artist.

The tears they feel good on my face line reminds me of gandalf's quote "i will not say do not weep for not all tears are evil"

Can someone translate J Cole's verse, I don't speak *GOAT*

So glad Cole put Smino and Saba on the album. So underrated 🔥🔥🔥

I only found out about this song today. Gosh, my favourite rap song now. It's such a nice aesthetic, lovely lyrics, a chill beat, pure love being shout, this is ART

"You can't be everything to everybody" This line rings in my mind, the more I get older.

"HUGGING THE BLOCK, HUGGING THE BLOCK, ALL DAY" something about Cole man. Something about Cole.

“She gave me a heart to hold. I got that shit to this day” felt that fr fr

Sometimes I’m sleep deprived and i don’t even remember why but soon as i think of this song, i play it till ma phone and headphones run low

It does something to my soul to hear a black man say: "She gave me the gift of my son, she gave a family to love, the tears feels good on my face". Amazing lyrics that hit my ❤️ fr

J. Coles verse gives me chills everytime I hear it. This song is everything

I swear Saba has been one of the most underrated rappers for like 4 years

This sound needs to get some major award and recognition.

A friend just passed away in an car accident last night and for some reason every time I was with him he would play this song. He knew I loved it so maybe that was why but it just sorta feels very appropriate at this particular moment. This song is gonna be forever be associated with the bro Dewayne in my mind for the rest of my time on this earth. RIP

people out here really sleeping on Saba and EarthGang😤

Everybody carried their own weight on this track.

Saba's verse will forever be my favorite verse on the album 🤯 My boy ate here🤧

A Moment of silence for those who never heard this Song... what a music right here a u t h e n t I c v i e w s dun took J. Cole oFf 2 da big leagues and fo dat I will always be super grateful

J. Cole's verse is a masterpiece. It gives me goosebumps everytime.

J. Cole basically a philosopher at this point. Musical Genius

Damn J. Cole is really the greatest artist to ever live.

First guy knows what the modern rap fan wants, alot of harmonizing and switching cadence

When J cole said “ Dangerous when there’s nobody to check you... I be having to check myself.” I felt that.😭

"You can't be everything to everybody" 🌊

“I been so disconnected my perspective is ignorant “ ❤️

"And yesterday gon feel just like a waste yeah, if I don't love you how I'm supposed to"

Earthgang gonna rise up and be one of the greats real soon no cap 📈

That part by jcole "hugging the block..." Is absolute crack

J cole said U can’t be everything to everybody 🙏🔥

“Hugging the block hugging the block all day , I had no where to go she gave me a place to stay “ mane cole you so lyrical brodie they don’t even understand the message 🔥🗣

"She gave me the gift of my son and plus we got one on the way" that's just a beautiful lyric 😭❤️

J. Cole verse is legendary. Verse of the year‼💯🔥🔥🔥

Once we gon always be here for yrs to come tap in❤

2023 and this is still one of the most beautiful songs to ever touch my soul

4:55 J.Cole not only sounding but also looking like the Messiah we didnt deserve, but the messiah we needed

" And Yesterday can feel just like a waste 🗑 If I don't love you, how I'm supposed too "🔥🔥🔥🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Doesnt matter how many times i hear this track, Coles part always gives me goosebumps. Glad people are becoming woke to Saba also.

Just imagine how hard “Wells Fargo” would go if they made a music video!

❤YOU CAN'T BE EVERYTHING TO EVERYBODY!!!

OMG!! Cole's verse got my eyes so teary every single time i listen to this joint. So deep!

I still can't get over the fact that both J. Cole and Saba were on a song together

Dreamville said “what if we made a song where everyone had dreads” who knew that’d be an absolute banger

Just me who feels like not enough people are appreciating Johnny’s hook? Like that shit touches the soul fr

"Im crying while writing these words....the tears they feel good on my face" you could feel that.

When j cole said “you cant be everything to everybody” that hurt deep

“Huggin' the block, huggin' the block all day...” keep it going !

Everyone in charge of this MASTERPIECE deserves an award of some kind.

Can we recognize the power of the second verse from the first dude.... DAMN.

Dont get me wrong Cole snapped, but why does noone talk about Saba's verse. DUDE WENT OFF

Saba put 3 different flows on 1 verse and transitioned them all beautifully. That's talent.

i would like friends that agree that this is a straight classic

I swear these vibes just hit different 😊😊

Love seeing saba and smino getting some mainstream attention 🔥

4:01 Coles verse replay button😭🐐

When that man said “she gave me a family to love, for that I could never repay, I’m crying while writing these words, the tears they feel good on my face” I couldn’t hold it no more 🥹😭🥲

Imma cry if I ever see this performance in person 😭🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 grown mama and all this song just hit different

Johnny Venus Is This Age's Wyclef. That Man Is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.

it’s weird how different people sleep. i sleep on my back, my ex used to sleep on her side, and everyone else sleeps on Saba.

The saba and j cole back to back is nuts

I love smino voice

I am a recovering alcoholic. It was around the time this DREAMVILLE project came out when I was at the worst point of my alcohol addiction. I remember getting so drunk and I would listen to this song on repeat until I completely passed out. I remember listening to this song when I hit rock bottom and blacked out for a whole day. Listening to it again put tears in my eyes and I thank God for pulling me out of the hell I put myself into back then. edit: It's been three years this month guys and I am still sober and it's crazy how much my life changed these three years. I went to university for a degree in IT and I'm currently running a small print bussines. Thank you so much for the love and kind words. I never knew I could find kindness and the support to continue from absolute strangers. For anyone else who is starting on their alcohol recovery ....DO NOT STOP. YOU WILL HEAL. Just keep making the SACRIFICES. Love you all❤️❤️

Anyone else like really like the part where homeboy is rapping but each word alternates with each ear? Ts dope asf to me

Bro y'all talk about j Cole. But everybody flexed on this. For real. Back again just to say this whole song is dope

uncrowned classic

saba is PAINFULLY underappreciated for his contributions to this song

It's refreshing to see a music video that is so raw. One location, not a lot of cuts and more time on screen with every artist. It felt real

Cole world❣

1:14 favorite part 🔥🔥🔥

1.7K dislikes?... "You can't be everything to everybody"

This the most beautiful song I've heard in a minute,I'm glad they did a video for it
