J Cole should rerelease his old mixtapes on streaming platforms like Spotify or Apple Music. They are some of his most underrated work, I relate more with the old Cole tbh.
Jesus Christ I feel so old. I used to bump this shit as a sophomore in high school all the damn time. This shit still bumps just as much as it did back then
Still talking about promiscuity and shiny objects. It's great that he is a good story teller and can express the reality of dealing with trauma. It doesn't change that he still rides that line of chasing the wrong thing for a false sense of satisfaction.
@@joshjohnson2600 cap this and Friday night lights was before he started rapping about being rich and shit. If u look at his newer work he’s flexing his bread how much he charges for a feature, he even got a damn song called 100 mill flexing that he got millions on the off season 🤣😂 I miss the old cole he was preaching real reletable shit on these projects
"Hope they don't have a problem with me,My momma told me to speak like you got a college degree,See i can but I won't Cause I'm saying what i want plus the slang that I speak don't change that I'm deep as the throat"💯
I cry to this everytime I listen. I want to switch the song when it plays but I know I need to keep it on. My cousin died in 2012 and the end of this song is so in alignment with what happened and he had only 1 son and it all gets me emotional but this song inspires me each time I hear it because it saying "Can I live" reminds me to Live out the purpose that I have in this world. Cole def a goat!
Everyone talking bout the flow and lyrics but can we acknowledge what a great beat this song has? It sounds like he used a chrono trigger/ final fantasy sample for this
Eo can I live? Still no turning back from this classic Since puberty, during first salary till my mind can remember who helped me in those late alone nights
