  • New song from J.Cole off "Truly yours".
    [Intro: J. Cole]
    Tick
    This is for my niggas in the fourth quarter
    Just watching that clock tick. Yeah
    [Verse 1: J. Cole]
    You said, at what point do you start seeing bread?
    Been out hustling for years, shoe box right under my bed
    I move the work out my momma's house, got me a little old crib
    I always fantasize if I had went to college instead
    Would I be happily married instead of broke and unwed?
    My nigga made a major move I said I hope for the best
    I told my sister as I kissed her cheek I'm better off dead
    Fucking with this white, it's all been downhill like a sled
    Now listen, I understand they say you make your own bed
    But tell me who supplied these sheets with this cheap ass thread
    In denial about the feds, he can't see past bread
    Now do exactly what the man in the ski mask says, okay?
    These are the times, survival my only crime
    I gotta be on my grind, a lot of my homies gone
    Inside of me Lord I know, it's a lie that we gon' be fine
    But momma I'm tired of crying, just lie to me one more time
    [Hook]
    Cause it's crunch time
    Cause it's crunch time
    Shit real man
    A nigga got bills man it's crunch time.
    Shit real man a nigga got bills
    [Verse 2: J Cole]
    Look, scavenge these records of these days MP3's
    Looking for the samples to put a nigga on MTV's
    This is for nigga's with empty dreams and empty jeans
    Still holding on to the word maybe
    Cause this 9 to 5 shit is driving you stir crazy
    Coming home tired just to hear it from your lady
    Hollaring about your baby, need this and need that
    And all you want is peace and quiet
    Maybe some feedback, on these raps
    Cause labels ain't hollering, and niggas ain't downloading
    Nobody see your vision, they walking around blindfolded
    All this time holding on to possibilities
    You step outside, you smoke a blunt and then you feel the breeze
    Fuck what they talking, it ain't like life come often
    Only thing worse than death is a regret filled coffin
    So try before you die or always wonder what if?
    I thank the lord for this wonderful gift
    Looking for strength in this crunch time
    [Hook]
    Looking for strength in the crunch time
    This shit real dawg a nigga got bills dawg
    It's crunch time
    Yeah
    Nigga it's crunch time
    This shit real dawg a nigga got bills dawg
    [Outro: J. Cole]
    I feel your pain nigga trust me
    For all my nigga's out there still trying to get it
    Few nigga's I know, few nigga's I don't know
    Shout out to my nigga filthy
    Nervous Wreck
    Shout out to my nigga Marcus
    Nigga I forgive you for all that shit you said
    I understand my nigga
    Still love. Yeah

    This song hits me every time. I use to cry to this shit cause I was struggling so bad, This song motivated me to work two jobs, I was riding my Fixie to work every night working graveyard & after working the morning shift at another job. It all paid off tho & now I’m doing good, I got my own place & I got a car now. This song will forever be the reason I got up & decided I had enough of the struggle & started grinding harder 💪

    In my third year of my LLB degree. It's been tough making it to this point , I have thought of quitting a lot of times. I constantly think of quitting and getting a 9-5 because being broke is hard ! And I got bills , but I know it's crunch time with this school thing, it'll pay off and I know it'll be harder in the future but this song will always remind me that nobody shares my vision and my coffin won't be filled with regret because I took a chance and pursued what I always desired despite it not showing instant gratification through the process. This song gets me through. I'll forever be grateful for J.Cole's music , I'll reach my goals and I'll return here someday at a different point in my life , successful and grateful that I didn't give up on my dreams.
