I was 15 going on 16 when I heard this the first time. Riding around with my brother in his rental while he was on leave. I'm 22 now and I come back to this regularly to let it play a few times. Crazy how quickly time moves. Love.
Time flys wayyyy to quick sometime just sit back ether on a beach/mountain in the clouds or viewing a skyline. Just play this song and relax. Enjoy the moment as the moment of today and really really let it sink In. Only love
I haven't heard this song in a minute and holy shit, every fucking time I listen to it I get goosebumps, a literal fucking masterpiece, shame its not on streaming platforms. J. Cole is a literal legend.
Could someone explain this line to me? English isn't my native language. Does Cole mean, that his stepdad is a nobody, and because he was his role model he also ain't shit?
Yung L I never said he did stupid. All I'm saying is that I loved the old Cole music the best out of everything. Read better next time or stfu. Move along.
I’ll never forget the chills it gave the first time I heard this, little did I kno 10 yrs later it was going to hit home so hard.. I owe Cole for gettin me thru 💯
“When you left I saw that lady crumble” Has any one else noticed that j cole always talks about 3 main thing a girl his best friend and his mom like on here adolescent,hold me down 4yeo immortal basically the whole 4yeo album last call,can I live,she knows
“We speak about time as if we could just buy it back... if only it was that simple... I miss you.” Damn I felt that shit hard.
You aint lying..
Y’all ain’t lying
None of yall lying
5 years and none of y'all still lying in here
Not a single lie told
Cole doesn't need to tear others down to prove he's the best, just sit back and press play! 👑💯
3 stories, 1 song... J. Cole is the storytelling KING 💯👑🔥
2024 anyone,?🌹
Duh it’s a classics
bruhh
Life is weird
4 Life let's go!! 🔥🔥
To this dAy.
The new generation will never understand what Cole mean to the ppl 🐐
The true goat
Anyone else still here in ‘24 🤩
the Spanish guitar is just something else...
Shannon Van Rensburg That’s Carlos Santana for ya! That guys a beast on the guitar!
Lauryn Hill - To Zion - The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. As said below Carlos Santana for you. Amazing song.
Very immortal technique esque
@@Mark-fh1hb "and it starts with leaving the past"
The song is a Santana sample, Lauryn Hill sang over this in a song called Zion back in the early 2000s I honestly think Zion is better imop
It is what it is. I’m not mad at ya Cole for sitting out the biggest rap beef in history.
Anyone listening to this masterpiece at 2024
Tupac is looking down vibing to this with a smile on his face, i guarantee it.
+Anthony Soleno For fuckin sure! That comment made me smile in a moment of sadness, spot on homie!
+Anthony Soleno ah I see you have nocombackvidis smh😢
Fuck tupac

+Anthony Correa Fucc you
Cole the best rapper ever even pac and biggie woulda respected him
Cole world 💪, 2024 we about to BBQ the game with "The fall off" 💯🔥

Every time I get stuck in life’s bs Cole pulls me right back to where supposed to be and what I’m supposed to be doin
God bless
wish this made the album..easily top 5 j cole songs
As long as he gives props to the artist. It would be an honor to have j cole use one of my beats in a song.
+Adnan Amer its the fugees
Adnan fr I thought it was Lauryn?
Lauryn Hill --- Zion, give it a listen
J.cole don't typically use other people for albums he likes the Platinum alone feeling i think
Something these new fans will never comprehend and listen to
Cristian Recinos i swear
Sad but true , this is his classic shit
your comment is so damn accurate. im happy for coles rise but videos like these show you who been rocking through his come up
Cristian Recinos big facts
Im a relatively new fan and I would disagree
2024 mid year 🔥🔥 Ooh God the best rapper alive headshot.
Cole never disappoints me. Dude is ill with words. Real stories ppl can listen to
Who’s here in 2024 man
Always listen to cole no matter how old the song ?
Always
Always
Always

@@mariorallo6918 Always
Don’t Matter if You Apologize or Not. You’re A Legend
"you aint shit and im scared it rubbed off on me."
Dang....
Steven Veres anytime I mess. up with sumn...I think about this.....
So deep man, I can relate
Could someone explain this line to me? English isn't my native language. Does Cole mean, that his stepdad is a nobody, and because he was his role model he also ain't shit?
@@edonselimi8009 spot on, yes!
Who listening in late June 2024? Great song!!
🙋🏽
July 2024 til 3001
The old Cole was the best Cole to me 💯
Yung L I never said he did stupid. All I'm saying is that I loved the old Cole music the best out of everything. Read better next time or stfu. Move along.
MeekMigosandAugust Ain't no old cole💯💯 Cole stay killin shit!
MeekMigosandAugust Facts
cole was always cool he dont make mudic now
Willie Fred yes df he do what are you talking abt..
I felt all the hurt in this song especially the second verse , Cole is a legend ! Will forever be in my top 5 .
Bro this song is so relatable... this is why i will always know that Cole is the best rapper alive.
We need this era 100%
I’ll never forget the chills it gave the first time I heard this, little did I kno 10 yrs later it was going to hit home so hard.. I owe Cole for gettin me thru 💯
Second verse straight hurt
Jose Garcia man that second verse hit me so hard it was scary. Way too relatable. This always been my favorite song Besides Show Me Something
Jose Garcia I felt that 2, but about my real dad
Maybe Spirit facts I thought about my dead beat father my first time hearing the song lol
I felt that bout my lil bros dad
I don't relate to it at all, yet it still hits deep
Man. Cole followed his conscience.
Crazy thing is that foretold that. People nitpick him glazing Kendrick & Drake but don’t mention nothing else from the songs
Love this song...could play the mixtape over and over.
Cole is unmatched, this song is beyond great. It’s a shame it was taken of Spotify.
Do you know why it was
I’m gonna assume because of sample clearance , the original beat is from Lauren hill “letter to Zion”
June 2019 and this still hits home.
Jcole is the Tu PAC of our generation, glad to have witness him make history and changing the hiphop game
zitler the bandit I'm very lucky to have grown up listening to pac when he was still alive. Then having the resurrection of pac now
Popped in my head today, life was so much simpler back then..
I feel this song deep in my soul. Thanks Cole For Evey fucking song you wrote.
J Cole the GOAT fuc what anyone says 🔥
Always coming back to his older work..something about the pure rawness speaks to me
Definition of art.
This one might be his best, for sure is my favorite.
It’s crazy how my mom was on drugs & my father wasn’t ever in my life. It’s like i could live J coles life, just in a female version
You should write him a letter talking about how u and he are similar and how ur pregnant boyfriend is jealous of him (stan reference)
One Of My Favorite Cole Songs💯
Legendary first verse wow I remember the day this dropped like it was yesterday Cole world forever
Love the beat to this. The vibe it gives off. Not rapish but not childish pop. Perfect. Perfect lyrics.
...heard this one before, yeah...I've been *sleeping* on this dude...*HE REAL DEAL*!
Vibing out to this in 2020, this shit is timeless
We still here baby!
@@olderspice15 still here lmao
@@achyutchhetri5543 yes sir we back!
will forever be one of my favorites
NOW THE JOOOOOYYY OF MY SOOOOOUUUL IS IN ZIIIIOOOOON
God Truly Yours 1 & 2 could have been a critically acclaimed album honestly
Exactly
Why can’t I find them anywhere
Jack harlock they’re on Tidal👌🏽
It’s an EP thas why it’s not critically acclaimed, u can find it in Tidal i think and Soundcloud for whoever asked even tho this is 3 years late lol
We speak about time as if we could just buy it back
Rest in peace Mac miss ya man
I will always love this song
“When you left I saw that lady crumble”
Has any one else noticed that j cole always talks about 3 main thing a girl his best friend and his mom like on here adolescent,hold me down 4yeo immortal basically the whole 4yeo album last call,can I live,she knows
I dont think he does it on purpose those are the people marked him. Plus the formula makes a hella good story.
Maybe cause thats what matters in life - love, friends, family.
And his step father
Jordan Ortiz ole kill Edward
So glad he did this. U made Ms. Hill proud
That's crazy when u feel like u saying everything that implies to u
Takarie Nappier always like that when you listen to Cole and that's why I love him
I remember the first time listening to this it sounded so nostoligic, but maaan listening to it now it’s just beautiful 😭, nostoligic asf
Feeling down, life just geting the best of me. Thought i listen to jcole. At 3 in the morning
gaming with losky I can understand exactly how you feel my man hopefully it gets better for the both of us💔
Hidden gem
You can hear/feel the pain
this song gives me so much goosebumps i can defiantly relate 100%
Yessss favorite beat. Favorite artist.
One of the most underrated songs of Jermaine 😍
All time favorite cole song it speaks volumes

Still listening to dis masterpiece in 2021😤
I don't know why but this song reminds me of Tupac's "I ain't mad at ya" , phenomenal song tho.
Omar Ammari I think that's part of the concept behind this song. Seems intentional
Omar Ammari Lauryn Hill - To Zion is the original song
Listening in 2021
2020 we still here
We speak about time as if we could just buy it back. If only it was that simple, damn I miss you. Can I holla at you?
listening this before this year ends. Anybody else?
J.Cole Tells 3 different stories in 1 song. Kendrick would have to drop a whole EP to do dat
bro did NOT hear sing about me 😭😭😭
@@baucap8451 Yeah. Have you heard “Lost ones” or “Lil ghetto nigga” 👌🏽🥲
I love j cole more but Kendrick has Sing about me
I was just about to tell em@@baucap8451

Oh Cole plz don't die, coz u resurrected hip pop Muzik for your self
This song is timeless to me
This song cements cole into the greatest of all time spot🥀
this song is highly reminiscent of I aint mad atcha by tupac , J.cole is as prophetic as tupac
rawrXpandas L
Kameron Douglass L
He used a Pac line “Last words to a bitch nigga why you lie”
One of the Greats that will be a legend. #HardworkPraisetoJermaine
