I’m going thru the toughest lesson in my life right now, so I also came back here for guidance. I’m glad I’m not the only one that’s seeks j.cole’s old music therapeutic. God bless everyone.
Looking back when I was going through what felt like would never end this the realist advice say that prayer ask for guidance and no matter how far it feels there is a light at the end. Well said @andrewmilllermuturi4638
This song definitely saved me in more ways than one. I am pretty successful and grateful for the life I live now every so often I come back to listen to this song to see how far I have come. If you’re reading this and going through some shit.....it will get better
It’s crazy coming back to this song 12 years later and reflecting on each time I would put it on when I was going thru something. Keeping a strong mindset helped me get thru all the dark times and I’m grateful and proud of where I’m at now
Nah man, the last thing i want to happeb is that a lot of people are gonna start listening to the old cole music. Lets keep the real fan base small and fine
helloblackblue i still think hes the greatest ever but something about him in this song is just beyond what ive ever heard... he is still putting out heat but this was untouchable
+Darren Peterson word this song is dope af but you cant say he fell off wen his last album was pure greatness, wet dreams is garbage but even that song is good in its own way
Lil DGabriel Not long after the money was rolling in while he didn't have to lift a finger. His first two albums I liked, the last one I really didn't.
This song is the creamiest of all J Cole's songs for me.... I discovered it 7 years ago back when I was in my mid collage years going through a lot of shit, experiencing the impacts of my parents' divorce at the same at the time... It gave me hope and strength to focus and finish my degree. Thankfully I finished my degree but still life hasn't turned out the way I planned it, 5 years later after college still haven't landed my first job for the profession i studied just stuck on a dead-end general job that isn't in line with my profession I studied. Early this morning i just got robbed of my phone and some cash on my way to work. But here I am back listening to this song because it always gives me hope to keep on fighting on matter how bad and dark things are in my life.
Reminiscing the time I listened to this for the first time, I was going through a phase as a man. J Cole has always been someone I have looked up to. I appreciate the greatness, Master!
I thank JCole for all the help and motivation he gives me. His lyrics still impact my life in such a positive way, just like everyone I've been thru a lot and truly his music has helped me get through countless moments. Thanks Cole
Listened to this before my brother died. Was one of my top fives from J. And now it hit harder after I lost my brother. Love and respect J Cole so much 🙏🏾🙏🏾💕
Cole is no doubt in my mind the best rapper, producer and writer. I love when i discover his tracks. His music is so consistent, he rhymes his stories and poetically describes a story that everyone can relate to.
Man this song is incredibly deep. It's gotten me through a lot. Great message about ambitions, dreams, and a relationship with God. THIS is real music.
people don't get how much of an influence he was with this mixtape.. so underrated so good. this should have like 100.000.000 views but nah people rather bump desiigner (he ok no hate) just saying.. quality over mainstream
"Asking for the Lord to show me all my signs." "And so I am asking if you can hold me down Lord, be my umbrella-ella-ella in this down pour," "...that's why you never see me settle cause they want us here." #respect #jcole
music has been my best friend throughout life.... one i can listen to when needed.... and now as a 21 year old tryin to stay on track n become something, what music has become confuses me, leaves me lost... Ever since I came across J COLE, i can relate... just a man tryin to make his dreams come true through hard work and reaching out to others... Fuck the money, fuck the drugs, J COLE is what i need these days
Just seeing how far J.Cole has came since this song gives me chills because he was hoping for a way out and he made it very far and he put his soul into his music coming back to songs like this touches a persons soul
For me it was 2010. Dark, cold, snowy days. 1200 miles away from home and grinding my way through my college winter semester. Struggling. FNL and The Warm up got me through some battles.
It’s a trip, been listening to this man’s music since I was 12 and now I’m 28 still anticipating more albums from him. I knew he was my favorite rapper but I never thought he’d be one of the goats. Im so happy to see I was wrong🙏🏽
Heard this song when I was in 6th grade 2010 my boy showed me j cole and said “this fools gunna be famous asfuck one day he raps about real life shit” shit still baffles me the words this man was speaking were so important that a 6th grader could visualize pain and struggle on a spiritual connection level
" so I'm asking you if you can hold me down lord, Be my umbrella-ella-ella in this down pour, I know you never-ever-ever let me drown or, Won't let that devil-evil-evil win this round nah! And though I stray for you, you know that my heart is good, And I know I ain't exactly living how I probably should, And I'm a try to act better like it's hollywood, Niggas congratulate me I just tell 'em god is good, God is good What am I here for? I'm a man so I cannot let them tears fall? But understand tryna get my head clear ya'll, This shit is on my mind, Asking for the lord to show me all my signs, Show me something, uh Cause I'm trynna find something, uh I'm lost can you show me something, uh I'm lost can you show me something, yeah"
I remember hearing this for the first time, it was the first J. Cole song I ever heard been my favourite rapper since then and it's crazy how you see how much better he's gone and with every track and every project he puts out its always better than the last thing he done.
2019 anybody?? 😌 I’m still out here looking for inspiration. Cole I love you man 💯💪🏾 You one of my biggest role models it’s pity you don’t know it🥴🤷🏾♂️💪🏾
j cole knows those true emotions... he knows how to portray them in his song... he knows his vision and he knows what he has to achieve... show him something people... sho him som love

This song literally re-routed my life. The motivation and realness he puts in his music is impactful to those it touches.
One of the few realist rappers todae!
I thank JCole for all the help and motivation he gives me. His lyrics still impact my life in such a positive way, just like everyone I've been thru a lot and truly his music has helped me get through countless moments. Thanks Cole
The face of our generation, keep pushin forward brotha

Song brings tears to my eyes...needed to hear this...Thank God for J.Cole #ColeWorld
#NoBlanket
Just listened again for the first time in a long time and it did the same #GOAT
Cole is no doubt in my mind the best rapper, producer and writer. I love when i discover his tracks. His music is so consistent, he rhymes his stories and poetically describes a story that everyone can relate to.
Do you know the movie that the clips in this video come from?
This song helped me through my darkest moments when I was a troubled teenager around 2010-2013
Man this song is incredibly deep. It's gotten me through a lot. Great message about ambitions, dreams, and a relationship with God. THIS is real music.
Yesss hip hop isn't dead...I lovvvve j. cole
people don't get how much of an influence he was with this mixtape.. so underrated so good. this should have like 100.000.000 views but nah people rather bump desiigner (he ok no hate) just saying.. quality over mainstream
this generation has been stupefied
it has :(
cole reminds me of the shit that pac was trying to stand for back in the 90s. not saying the music is the same, but the message
Artist like j.cole and Kendrick saved me with their mixtape and early albums!
This song saved me,just came bacc to it now and cried. I never thought I would’ve made it this far; I hope I have more life to live🙏
I felt that ✊🏽
One of my all time favorites from Cole. He is definitely one of the realest, genuine, anointed, and best rappers of our time 🙏🏽.
"Asking for the Lord to show me all my signs."
"And so I am asking if you can hold me down Lord, be my umbrella-ella-ella in this down pour," "...that's why you never see me settle cause they want us here."
#respect #jcole
Still sound so new! CLASSIC
J. Cole the Greatest! 👐🏽

Fuck the money, fuck the drugs, J COLE is what i need these days
12 years later how's life going? I'm also 21 now.
Been listening to this song for 10 years. Love you J
the hook is amazing
literally on repeat right now #coleworld

Dude Cole is the best ever. All of his shit has been good since the beginning
Jermaine's music is always on repeat! He's my favorite artist!
this song is so powerful gives me motivation to live by gods will
Check out Kingdom Muzic
Sheldon Collins me too
Just seeing how far J.Cole has came since this song gives me chills because he was hoping for a way out and he made it very far and he put his soul into his music coming back to songs like this touches a persons soul
This is one of my fav songs of all time!. King Cole
His flow and rhyme scheme is outrageous. I like how he stayed in pocket throughout the entire song. He really killed it.
How could i forget about this masterpiece? Early Cole is so special, i adore this
J.Cole is the best he's just so real !
I used to listen to this song and cry
For me it was 2010. Dark,
cold, snowy days. 1200 miles away from home and grinding my way through my college winter semester. Struggling. FNL and The Warm up got me through some battles.
J cole is a GOAT first song I ever heard by him back in the day
To this day this is my favorite Cole song of all time. Bars, vulnerability, encouragement, message. 💯
This is so real i've always loved this song
Thank God for J Cole. I needed to hear this song. 🙏🏽 I had forgot about this song and it came back just when I needed it!
Cole is the most slept on of alllllllll time… just look at the comments on this one… I get up… hold it down… he has saved so many lives…
It’s a trip, been listening to this man’s music since I was 12 and now I’m 28 still anticipating more albums from him. I knew he was my favorite rapper but I never thought he’d be one of the goats. Im so happy to see I was wrong🙏🏽
2023 OGs still come back to this masterpiece
J. Cole is undoubtedly the greatest rapper ever. Not even unquestionably indubitably and restlessly pathetic. He's so blessed.
God was speaking through Cole when he made this track 🙏🏻
3-22-23 still my favorite artist. N this where it all started
I remember when the top comment on this was saying he was sounding like Drake. Boy did that age terribly.
Almost 2021 and I came back to feel something that this new era of music can’t provide .
That’s facts! Have a listen to soulfly by rod wave and I promise he’s on that same level as j cole
2022 and still listening, I'm in down bad and it's keeping motivated
This song helped me through high school👌👌
Heard this song when I was in 6th grade 2010 my boy showed me j cole and said “this fools gunna be famous asfuck one day he raps about real life shit” shit still baffles me the words this man was speaking were so important that a 6th grader could visualize pain and struggle on a spiritual connection level

Man J cole saved my life I swear he God sent...almost took mine his lyrics saved me
2021 and this joint still gives me chills😫💯❤️
I can relate to this song so much!
By far the realist rapper of all time, the way he is able to conceptualize and tell heartfelt stories through his lyrics is truly amazing.
" so I'm asking you if you can hold me down lord,
Be my umbrella-ella-ella in this down pour,
I know you never-ever-ever let me drown or,
Won't let that devil-evil-evil win this round nah!
And though I stray for you, you know that my heart is good,
And I know I ain't exactly living how I probably should,
And I'm a try to act better like it's hollywood,
Niggas congratulate me I just tell 'em god is good,
God is good
What am I here for?
I'm a man so I cannot let them tears fall?
But understand tryna get my head clear ya'll,
This shit is on my mind,
Asking for the lord to show me all my signs,
Show me something, uh
Cause I'm trynna find something, uh
I'm lost can you show me something, uh
I'm lost can you show me something, yeah"
Still here bumping tf out of this 2023
2019... J.Cole still on top, stay blessed everyone !
