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.
@@samLositoask Jesus for help, I remember losing somone in my life and the colours seemed like they left the world and I thought I'd never be happy again but I was, it just took time, thanks to God.
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
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🙏🏽
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
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.
"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
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.
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
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
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 🙏🏾🙏🏾💕
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
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.
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
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
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!
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
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.
" 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"
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
Back in 2011, was going through the worst of times and jamming to this sound...amazing how successful I am now...so every day before I knock off my company premises I blaze this joint in my new range rover..GOD is good 😊 and HE will see You through whatever storm 🙏🙏🙏

I think an artist's true value is defined by how he reflects reality through his music. This song is sensational.

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
Dude Cole is the best ever. All of his shit has been good since the beginning
Artist like j.cole and Kendrick saved me with their mixtape and early albums!
God was speaking through Cole when he made this track 🙏🏻
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 ✊🏽
literally on repeat right now #coleworld
aint nothing sunny
His flow and rhyme scheme is outrageous. I like how he stayed in pocket throughout the entire song. He really killed it.
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
Jermaine's music is always on repeat! He's my favorite artist!
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!
Still sound so new! CLASSIC
J. Cole the Greatest! 👐🏽
To this day this is my favorite Cole song of all time. Bars, vulnerability, encouragement, message. 💯

this song is so powerful gives me motivation to live by gods will
Check out Kingdom Muzic

J. Cole is undoubtedly the greatest rapper ever. Not even unquestionably indubitably and restlessly pathetic. He's so blessed.
J cole is a GOAT first song I ever heard by him back in the day
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!
Been listening to this song for 10 years. Love you J

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.
Show Me Somethin. It Wont Be Long. Bun B for President. Grown Simba... My fav songs from cole.
2023 OGs still come back to this masterpiece
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
" so I'm asking you if you can hold me down lord,
