[Prod.xvwpvw]

This is the coolest thing to happen to the producer community in a minute. Thank you Cole for hearing us and appreciating us. We won’t forget.

[hiphopdx]

This is one of the dopest moments in recent Hip Hop memory. Cole is a goat and deserves all of the respect

[boyfifty]

This proves exactly why cole is a legend
🖤

[NduMndayiMsomi]

Here after the beef to remind myself how real Jermaine is. Always and forever! Cole world!

[tyrellbaker]

I'm listening to this for the first time as a 30 year old husband and father of 2 trying to grind my way through a Computer Science degree so I can give my family a better life. This shit real.

[MRKJ]

The fact he selected a random producer and gave him the credit makes this shit that much more
🔥🔥🔥

[BlackVoid_rsa]

AND A BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO BVTMAN FOR STAYIN CONSISTENT AND NEVER GIVIN UP

[MatthewChrisisOfficial]

My grandma just passed and this is the first song I’m listening to. This is not a coincidence. God has a plan for me. Please keep my family in your prayers. Thanks for the song 🎵

[lykenootha]

It's crazy... what Cole just did here is HISTORY... It's impossible to find a rapper on his level willing to pump out a track for free like this out of love...

[KwanDon]

This is dope. He really acknowledged your beat and said to place it on your channel. There’s no one like Cole.

[jayruben]

This how you make a community stronger. Don't tear each other down but build each other up. J. Cole is gets mad respect for doing this.

[brianoblivion]

Let’s be clear: This story combined with this song is one the greatest things in modern hip hop history. Truly what the genre is about. Endlessly inspired by this.

[shinobitoby]

This legit will motivate any producer to keep going

[ramz_]

You can hear Cole’s motivation growing in his voice as he flows through the song. The lesson here is clear as day: don’t wait for the motivation to come, just get started. Legendary.

[aricarlat]

To anyone dealing with self doubt....YES you are built for this. Keep going with love and trust in your heart

[TheTruthMaalouf]

LYRICS

Don’t you dare run from it
Theres no boogie man
It ain’t coming to hurt you
I think acceptance is somewhat of virtue
-
To look your truth dead in the face without trying to escape the regret or disgrace
-
I write these words aimlessly
-
But not without hope that somehow I’ll stumble on something thats dope
A clever little line a thought to provoke myself and that listener digging for quotes
Hello
-
I don’t even know if somebody gon hear this
Got so many songs they get lost in the endless folders of the hard drive
I wish i was more fearless
-
Cuz i just say fuck it and dump all the music for ni**as that hated and ni**as that use it as fuel
To push them through long nights at school
Writing that last minute paper for classes
Due in the morning and I still relate to that procrastination for task
-
Cuz I need to finish this album,
But hell how many more times can i say that this will impale
Down in that well and pull it back up with the hope that its fill
-
Plus it don’t help that I’m rich now so that means that i don’t gotta deal
With stress from these creditors calling my cellular
Like that young rapper that don’t gotta a deal
But do got the skill and do got the will to make it no matter how long that it takes
For labels to see ya or a song that’ll break and the rest of the world to catch on that he’s great
-
Uh
-
How do you tap into hunger when you don’t got wonder bout where your next meal is coming from
Maybe you feel my conundrum
Or maybe the real is um so um
Far removed from the struggles of everyday folks
My shit just ain’t never gonna hit like it hit when a nigga was a lil more closer to broke (broke)
-
Uh
-
But fuck it the challenge be having me stoked
Throw in the towel you gotta be joking
I push my salary up with these quotes
-
Now, I push the lambo truck down in the ville
Hoping i connect with something thats real
Part of me wonders why Im even still
-
Holding on to this place,
my momma been gone
And my partners is straight

[Beatstars]

One of the most historic collaboration stories in Hip Hop history. The song is beautiful

[Pinesol]

I know he shed tears of happiness. JCole is a real one for this.

[WWEERROO]

The lyrics express the struggles of balancing success and maintaining artistic authenticity. Cole reflects on the challenges of being a successful rapper and the pressure to produce meaningful music. He also expresses feelings of disconnection from his past struggles and the struggles of everyday people. He expresses the desire to continue to push himself and not give up in his pursuit of success despite these struggles.

[bezousek]

Man if Cole did an album with an album like this, helping people and bring us together. That'd be so tough
