zipozonke mpumlwana Thanks
Everyday is crunch time.. never stops
🔥🔥👌🏿
ColeWorld very deep
J cole I'm not sure if you care about what your fans say or think about your art, but you need to know it matters. Your music has gotten me through a lot. I don't mean to be getting in my feeling or anythinng, but you need to know that. I'm sure you don't hear it enough. Well anyway my name is Brandon Connelly. I'm a white kid from Texas. Despite what people think, not all Texans are country fu**'s. I grew up with my father as a crackhead who cheated, stole, and yelled at my mom all the time. I have two older brothers who beat the hell out of me until I learned how to fight. I learned quick. They left when I was real young and I had to take care of my younger brother while my mom worked three jobs and went to college. My brothers came around stealing from my mom every now and then, but only to steal. Not say high or cook dinner. While my mom did what she had to i took care of my little brother. I fed him, I got him dressed and ready I'm the morning, I helped him with his homework, I poured his cereal. I got him up and brought us both to the school bus when it was dark and scary outside. (I was little, so the dark scared me) I was the one who put hi. To bed and tucked him in at night, I stole him the stories. After had fall asleep I'd go wait at my moms door for her to stop crying everynighht. I had to protect myself from bullies and I got bullied a lot. I was always getting into trouble and always fighting somebody. What I remember most about my dad was having the cops with guns out at our house one day after me and my little brother got off the bus after school. They arrested him and my little brother would not stop crying. After all this crap and a lot more which i don't have enough time to type she met a guy named Brandon (which was weird cause I have the same name) finally we got away from the racist drug addicts from our trailer park. We moved in with him and his two kids. At first it was hard for me to adjust because I always felt like I needed to protect myself and I was always mad. Just as I was getting better and my guard was coming down we moved out because things wrrent working out and we were off to this rich kid school in Allen. I fu**ing hated that place. The first month or two me and my little brother slept in cots at our aunts. Then we got an apartment that my mom could barely afford. Everybody there was stuck up and didn't appreciate s**t. Almost a month and a half in I had some rich kids trying to mess with me. Of course with my hot headed and stupid self I let it bother me and I fought one of them. I got lucky I didn't got to juvie. Their strict up their about fighting. My mom and that guy got back together and it was good but trouble always seemed to find me and I kept fighting. Not as much but more than I wanted to because I didn't want to at all. I was tired of fighting. I got my rib dislocated twice and I had surgeries on my ankles and feet. I healed up over time and finally for about a year i wasmt getting in trouble, but lately things have been going sideways. I liked this girl but when I was trying to get her to really be with me is we can be out of that talking stage she told me she might be pregnant with her ex's baby who raped her when she got drunk. I still wanted to be with her but then she found out that the baby could be mine. I was happy and ready to step up as a dad instead of a step dad. I was excited. Then today I found out it ismt mine. I love her though. Im grounded now for smoking weed and its hard to help with the pregnancy. I was training at an mma gym but that's gone now. I miss the weed. Im trying to quit smoking cigs. On top of that this guy is trying to fight me and I can't hit hi. Because I can't get in trouble no more. I have to worry about this baby now. I still want her and the baby. Im trying to graduate early so I can go to the fire academy and maybe make a decent life for the both of us. Only my mom knows. I miss the gym a lot even when I was getting a foot to the face. Nothing ain't ever gonna be easy. Your music reminds me that people got it worse. That I shouldn't complain. Im grateful for everything. Especially the bad. Its made me a better person. Strange how the world works and im not even out in the hardest part of it yet. Well anyway that's most of my story. I just want you to know that your music means more than you know. It helps me with s** t sometimes. Thank you for that. Now I just wonder what your story is.
so real
Colleen Connelly damn, I've read everything without one moment looking away from it. One day you will be happy this shit happened to you, you'll be a clever man in the future and if you fight and work for everything you want to achieve, you'll definitely get it. We could stay in touch if you want, talk about life and that kind of stuff. Like a pen pal, well anyways, stay strong man and keep being a good person 👌🏼
keep fighting brother. I'm black but that doesn't really matter...stay strong for ya family bruh
Colleen Connelly sup man im ray. im 36 and been thru some shit so i know where you coming from. keep ya head up and don't let others opinions matter. i could've ended up somewhere else with my life. i would rather ppl think i was scared than forgot cause the outcome would be worse. i lost my kids to defacs when i was 21 fucking around with the wrong female afterwards and i didn't give a fuck no mo. even then i held back. after i thought about whatever situation i was in it was to make it better not mess it up. so that's my advise for you. stay head strong and positive. much luv bruh
Stay strong bruh. Cole speaks to all of us. You gonna get through it G
both artist and actor have come super far!
yeah man gotta love both
Michael Jordan and Jermaine Cole
Cole fell off tho when he said lebum was the goat
Been on a J Cole binge. My mom been real tight on money and i can’t get hired anywhere since i don’t have experience, if it wasn’t for financial aid i wouldn’t be able to afford college. Imma make it if it’s the last thing i do i promise you mom ❤️ you can’t control situations in life but you can always control the effort you put in. 🙏🏼
I advise you to take up whatever low menial job you can for the hours you have time to work while studying like bar tending, waiting tables, maybe even a secretary or receptionist type job. Whatever you can get. Next thing is to do volunteering or internships in the industry you want to break into. Work for free for a bit in that industry and network like crazy while also studying everything about how the industry works, the challenges and what makes you fit into that industry. Once you've built up that voluntary experience you'll have your foot in the door to get a place.
@@nobad6134 thats some real shit. I dig that
Stay up

"Inside of me Lord I know it's a lie that we gone be fine, but mama I'm tired of crying just lie to me one more time." #crunchtime
Chaamah Ahab Wow that's some deep shit. The reality that you telling me a lie is better for me to accept that the pain of the truth is a heartfelt reality.

It hits different when you've just worked a 13 hour day
Not really
@@AlexanderJaney Dang I just had another rough day at work yesterday. I usually don't get high on week nights, but I'm really glad I did weed last night.
I hope you're able to find more compassion and generosity in your life. I found some good people recently (coworkers, discord friends), but I def want to have more. But I have patience
THIS MOVIE BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES
name of it
fruit ville station
It did more than just bring tears to my eyes
This should've been the legit video for this track. Doooope 👏🏽. Loved this movie.
What's this movie called? =) I want to watch it
Song came out after the movie sadly but true fits perfectly
2024, and it's still crunch time
He's the new Nas to me you rap about some real shit my nigga you make songs that people will never get tired of. Most of us who listing have a pis of a true story in their life related to it. One love my nigga keeping it real God is by your side.
Real spill!
Real Talk 💯💯
No,just j cole
“Inside of me, Lord I know it’s a lie that we gone be fine. But Mama I’m tired of crying, just lie to me one more time....”
Some of the deepest shit i’ve ever heard and that’s why I love Cole cause he just speaks to me on a deeper level that no other rapper can. So much truth and vulnerability in his music man. Never stop making music that touches the people Cole 🙏🏾
"These are the times, survivals my only crime"
Grind*
The movie in the background is called Fruitvale station and 😢is so fuckin good
A lot of people started listening to Cole at Born Sinner, they gotta listen to everything he put out before that. His best work is his older stuff imo. Pumped to hear this new album though!
yeah i hear u.. cant wait for him to drop the new material
Robert Colvin True
Fuck all of them fake cole fans
Those bandwagon fans
That Friday Night Lights shit is a classic
Listening to this in 2021 on Jan 28th, Cole da greatest
A rapper who isn’t throwing money in our faces is worth listening to
It’s something about this song bro and wayyyyyy too many people don’t know about it. Cole please put this on Spotify and Apple Music 💪🏼
PERFECT MOVIE FOR THE PERFECT SONG
fuck this is amazing
of course my man
Jermaine if you ever get on here when you're bored or just wanna see the feedback you get on your shit, I wanna say thanks for putting the way I feel most days into a way I can express. Your music makes me feel like I'm not the only person out here trying to survive and make it. Your music gets me through most days, and I couldn't say thank you enough times for that. God bless you, Cole.
4 years later and I’m coming here again, forgot about this classic until this morning. I found a great woman, married her, and had a son last year. We both would dream about the kind of money we wanted to make, where we could afford a lifestyle that we could pay the bills and not worry so much about groceries, about gas in the cars, and keeping the lights on, and now we’re both gonna be making well over what we’d always talked about together a year. Keep fucking grinding, find a way, keep your fucking head up, and the rest will come to you. Stay patient. God said “in due season you shall reap if you faint not.” Anyone that’s out there struggling, let me tell y’all. Don’t ever faint.
@@ghostfox4 yessir dude congrats
@@ghostfox4so life can get beautifull. I wish you the best brother ❤️

The power to paint a picture into the minds of those who chose to listen and allow they imagination to run wild. I bet we can all relate and put things into perspective now. This is the kind of music you can play on a Saturday morning while you wash your car , cleaning up your closet and just laugh about all the bull shit that has happened in your life
Whose here in 2022 , shit getting harder man
One of my favorite J. Cole songs
This track saying the things in the deepest part of my soul cause at this point in my life I'm just hoping I'm able to grow happy an old. Much love.

Hi bro
Whoever makes these Jcole videos I salute you, They always on topic with the song.
Wow man .....I remember playing This like 5x back to back helped me out of some Tough Times
J Cole ,Nas,Scarface and Tupac speak words that talk to the soul. Crunch Times = Success
Scarface is too underrated
This is real. He the only one putting out shit I can relate my own life to. It’s nice to know there’s a dude that’s actually been through the shit too that’s not a puppet used to dumb you down or hook you on drugs
the realest ever
one of the best gems I come back too ✅

Gotta love the Fruitvale References
[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
Hollering 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 FilthE
Nervous Reck
Shout out to Marcus
My nigga I forgive you for all that shit you said
I understand my nigga
Still love. Yeah
Yo I can’t stop watching this video.. even shed a tear or 2... rip to everyone lost
