Its crazy when an artists doesnt even know you exists but his words speak to you as though you two live the same life. Him and kendricks album is gonna have a lot of us in our feelings. Im just glad the game has this guy producing music that speaks to the people.
This was the J.Cole people don't listen to. Back when he was hungry and looking to get his name out. To me this is Cole at his best. I still love J.Cole , but I miss when he was spitting like this.
nah j cole still is as hungry as ever, its just now he can tell the stories he wants. literally j cole doesnt make his music wanting you to buy it. he literally just vents. and thats the beauty behind music. there is so many outlets so many different directions you can take music. and now that he has the green light... he is just producing and droppin all his own shit just for the love. true art. his new album so deep, just got to look deeper into it,
.my dad left me when I was three. he said I was a mistake and my mom made him leave because of his anger. Two years later my brother ran away with his girlfriend and two years after that my mom got cancer and died. I lived with foster homes for six years until my coach took me in for basketball. I cried for three hours straight listening to this
nick medash you're not a mistake bro. Remember, everyone is brought into this world to make someone else's life better rather its your parents or someone else bro. Keep your head up and good luck with basketball.
The reason Cole is so real is because he raps about different scenarios. He doesn't only rap about his life, he raps about things everyone can relate to. The father part if the rap I could relate to so much. It described my situation perfectly
I know cole will probably never read this but I just want to leave this here. Thank you for everything you have done for rap and thank you for the music you make. Your music has helped and impacted me a lot. I listen to you everyday and you will always be my inspiration.
"Maybe I should be telling you fuck you cause you selfish but I want a father so bad I break down" This line speaks to my fucking soul. Easily one of his most underrated songs.
Pops was barely around. My mother WAS THERE &' STILL is. ALWAYz! Anytime we needed her she was there , when I needed my pops , just a shrug or "I'm working". My own anger made me hate him. One thing it taught me was anyone can have different feelings , even the people close to you.
"And that's a shame cause our last name is the same; That blood type flowing through our veins is the same; My momma left you and maybe your angers to blame; But that no excuse." This shit hits hard
I remember the first time i met my biological father when i was 18 as i got to know him from the few moments we spoke i knew that’s why he was never meant to be in my life. 2pac was the only artist who’s music I’ve ever listened that made me cry I never thought their would be another. Then Jcole was born and i sheded a tear to this thanks man. I never understood why you create a kid who’s your own creation blood everything to just leave them
He's the best and realest artist out there. The new artists like him have brought life back to hip-hop. He's motivating me to get back in the booth more.
I used to JAM to Cole back in high school bro. Never really listened to his lyrics though. This is crazy. Mad respect to his heart and mad respect to his fans. I hear you baby. Tearing up at work listenin to this lol. I grew up.
TALKED TO MY DAD BARELY YESTERDAY. YESTERDAY WAS THE FIRST TIME I TALKED TO HIM IN YEARS.I BROKE DOWN AND STARTED CRYING. BARELY HEARD THIS SONG AND I LOVE IT.
I like how this is a slightly speeded up version. The higher notes sound so much sweeter and his flow seems so much more energetic. Wicked song all together either way. J cole is a god
Damn. This song is too relatable. I never met my biological father, moms was 16 And I guess he got scared and ran because of his youth. But he was ghe brother of my mom's best friend, and when i went to her wedding, he was there. The first time I've ever seen my father in real life. And I didnt even know who he was until years later when my cousin told me. It's weird, seeing your own father and not even recognizing him. Just thinking of him as a stranger, he didn't even talk to me. Now I'm here, my stepdad and mom getting a divorce, and i feel nothing. Never felt a connection to my stepdad anyway. And I'd like to say I don't care about having a genuine father figure, but i know it affects me. I can barely talk to guys in real life, i never feel comfortable around them becsuse parts of me always feels unworthy. But you know.. I wouldn't Change any of it. I'm thankful.
this is why i like j.cole he spits the truth, real shit that we can all relate too. not some corny shit that alot of these rappers out here be on. i know a few men who grew up without their fathers and how much pain they say it caused them, they turn out to be good fathers bc they can't imagine putting their son or daughter thru that same pain of abandonment they felt growing up. also i am a college student my kid's father who i am no longer with was in and out of jail while i was raising our kids. my final straw was when he got locked while i was out here raising two kids on my own. smh. funny thing is his mom was a crackhead while he was growing up.... we all have a painful story to tell. we need to have more compassion and understanding towards one another.
believe being albe to relate to someone else lyrics is probably the best thing you can find in music, I can relate to lot of lyrics inkid cudi music, but I enjoy and respect J.Cole's music its amazing.
Man, i feel that 1st verse to the heart, 2 months ago after 12 years i went back to mexico to see my dad, havent seen the man since i was 6 he left my brothers and my mom. I most deff broke down..
This is a great song, it's pretty deep. Which I like. He raps a song with very deep and sad lyrics but, make it sound so good, J cole is the rapper of all candy. OMG
So many things you coulda told me, to save me the trouble of letting my mistakes show me This shit these rappers kick is nothing like real life, my mama tell you what addicted to that pipe feel like ? Hits hard, so grateful he chooses to be this vulnerable and open.
This is one of my favorite songs.! I havent seen my dad in over 10 years so i can relate and im the only one with his last name sucks not having him around :(
My top 5 ( really 10 cuz its so many ) cole songs that just touch my soul ( in no order ) 1 - Be freestyle / The Cure 2 - Premeditated Murder / Cole Summer 3 - Higher / Lost Ones 4 - The Autograph / Breakdown 5 - Show me Something / See it to believe it
J.cole is one of the only poetic rappers left that can still tell a real story to his fans but his sound is just so far from a victim mentality. His music lifts me up.
this song has an addiction senarios and father figure ....this kind of rap talks deep into my soul.....the words are painful to speak of but cole did it for us .....
I listen to them all: Wayne, Drake, Pac, Biggie, Meek, Ross, 50, Tyler, Kanye, Jay, etc, etc, -- and in my opinion J. Cole is the realest, most lyrically talented, and I'd go as far to say that his delivery is in the top 5ish with Jay and Pac being the top two. He has crushed every mixtape he has ever dropped, and his skills don't flounder when he drops an album. (cough, cough Drake) Keep this man atop the charts when Born Sinner drops. Cole World.
this is what real rap is. even myself a kid gets tired of that false hip hop and rap. this is the realest shit iv heard from a rapper that MADE IT. and i prey to god j. cole dont change on me, us. the people that feel his music.
Its crazy when an artists doesnt even know you exists but his words speak to you as though you two live the same life. Him and kendricks album is gonna have a lot of us in our feelings. Im just glad the game has this guy producing music that speaks to the people.

This was the J.Cole people don't listen to. Back when he was hungry and looking to get his name out. To me this is Cole at his best. I still love J.Cole , but I miss when he was spitting like this.
He still does in my opinion love yourz is a prime example .
03 Adolescence and love yourz are examples
+Ipeleng Thobejane tru
nah j cole still is as hungry as ever, its just now he can tell the stories he wants. literally j cole doesnt make his music wanting you to buy it. he literally just vents. and thats the beauty behind music. there is so many outlets so many different directions you can take music. and now that he has the green light... he is just producing and droppin all his own shit just for the love. true art. his new album so deep, just got to look deeper into it,
David Pulphus He did step back to the past and he's doing it even better now
This just described my entire life. I'm speechless…
Right
I feel that shit bro
And I'm from the opposite side of the world. Impactful.
Me too man. Like all three Verses. It’s really crazy
he always knows how to hit us....to me he's the new generation Tupac always knows how to get you in your ceels
Who is here in 2020. Who ever you are, you a real one ..
You too sam, you too
❤

God love u bruh bruh. Just fight though d pain
Never a mistake. Gods got you. He got a plan for you. Believe in that if nothing else.
nick medash you're not a mistake bro. Remember, everyone is brought into this world to make someone else's life better rather its your parents or someone else bro. Keep your head up and good luck with basketball.
nick medash hey what’s your social media?
keep yo head up homie
This is one of the most realest songs ever.
The reason Cole is so real is because he raps about different scenarios. He doesn't only rap about his life, he raps about things everyone can relate to. The father part if the rap I could relate to so much. It described my situation perfectly
He is rapping about his life u stupid fool it's just his life is something everyone can relate to tf u mean
Same with drake
My song of the day. Sucks growing up without a real father
I know cole will probably never read this but I just want to leave this here. Thank you for everything you have done for rap and thank you for the music you make. Your music has helped and impacted me a lot. I listen to you everyday and you will always be my inspiration.
"Maybe I should be telling you fuck you cause you selfish but I want a father so bad I break down"
This line speaks to my fucking soul.
Easily one of his most underrated songs.
Pops was barely around. My mother WAS THERE &' STILL is. ALWAYz! Anytime we needed her she was there , when I needed my pops , just a shrug or "I'm working". My own anger made me hate him. One thing it taught me was anyone can have different feelings , even the people close to you.
@menace2angel115 my pops left when I was 5 to Oklahoma and I would visit him in the summers every 3 to 4 years this shit hits deep
"And that's a shame cause our last name is the same;
That blood type flowing through our veins is the same; My momma left you and maybe your angers to blame; But that no excuse."
This shit hits hard
that first verse hits hard.
this song is a perfect example why he the best doing it right now, him and wale on another level
I remember the first time i met my biological father when i was 18 as i got to know him from the few moments we spoke i knew that’s why he was never meant to be in my life.
2pac was the only artist who’s music I’ve ever listened that made me cry I never thought their would be another. Then Jcole was born and i sheded a tear to this thanks man. I never understood why you create a kid who’s your own creation blood everything to just leave them
why am i crying?! this song is so relatable.
Same.....and i literally saw my dad today like after 18 years and the first thing he did was criticize me
You made it 18 years without him
Lucia Valzz I'm so sorry
Lucia Valzz I wish I could do something about that.
Zanyah 17 unfortunately nooo but oh well
This song has taken me through the lowest of the lows. I live with my little brother and I can't let him see me give up.
He's the best and realest artist out there. The new artists like him have brought life back to hip-hop. He's motivating me to get back in the booth more.
I used to JAM to Cole back in high school bro. Never really listened to his lyrics though. This is crazy. Mad respect to his heart and mad respect to his fans. I hear you baby. Tearing up at work listenin to this lol. I grew up.
Listening to real songs like this by him while high is too crucial. Its like I'm way more in tune with his emotions, its crazy
go through Friday Night Lights then while high
Releast shit i’ve ever heard he’s a legend at story telling🔥🔥 I can tell the sideline story album came from the heart
I'm about to take all these stories and throw them in my college essays
😂😭
Hahaha
the reason cole is the best is his songs relates to peoples situation. And breakdown IS THE BEST TRACK IN D WHOLE WORLD.
Best Rapper Alive His flow and rhymes cant be duplicated💯💯
...just seen and talked to my pops for the first time since I was 12. I'm 28 now. Listening to #Breakdown was the first priority. #ColeWorldNoBlanket
This ain't rap. This is art. Long Live Cole.
I don't even feel this way about my father but this shit is...
💯
Its more unique in my eyes because this is how i feel
So many people in the comments without father's man. I'm sorry to know. Cole you hit home on this one man. Respect
Thank you Cole, for words that speak to the soul
Only 2pac has ever made me so connected to a rapper like J Cole, his words spot on so relatable you cant help but picture his emotions.
It's really cool to see rappers like J.Cole basically vent through their lyrics.
one of the best songs off of the sideline story. i love how j. cole makes his lyrics relatable to anyone. real shit.
My life are the first two verses. I just reunited with my father after a 8 year search and this song has always brought tears to my eyes
TALKED TO MY DAD BARELY YESTERDAY. YESTERDAY WAS THE FIRST TIME I TALKED TO HIM IN YEARS.I BROKE DOWN AND STARTED CRYING. BARELY HEARD THIS SONG AND I LOVE IT.
Father’s Day just passed and this shit really hits home
I like how this is a slightly speeded up version. The higher notes sound so much sweeter and his flow seems so much more energetic. Wicked song all together either way. J cole is a god
Most inspirational rapper of our generation, J Cole speaks nothing but relatable facts in his rap, J Cole is Hip Hop
Damn. This song is too relatable.

Niggah im A God I'm glad I'm not the only one. I almost cried just now.
James Ridgeway the whole song is deep but it's when he talks about his dad that hits me . it's hurts when you relate to it
James Ridgeway I know me and him are related I didn't get to see my dad or my room alone is hard trust me and I almost cried to
Niggah im A God m
Niggah im A God prolly one of the best songs
Even though I have a father, I can feel the pain for those who don’t have one with this song.
So many things you coulda told me, to save me the trouble of letting my mistakes show me
This shit these rappers kick is nothing like real life, my mama tell you what addicted to that pipe feel like ?
Hits hard, so grateful he chooses to be this vulnerable and open.
This is one of my favorite songs.! I havent seen my dad in over 10 years so i can relate and im the only one with his last name sucks not having him around :(

3 - Higher / Lost Ones
4 - The Autograph / Breakdown

J.cole is one of the only poetic rappers left that can still tell a real story to his fans but his sound is just so far from a victim mentality. His music lifts me up.
situations make certain songs hit 10x as hard.. this is one of those moments.
This man is incredible No words

Every part of this song sings to me...
I listen to them all: Wayne, Drake, Pac, Biggie, Meek, Ross, 50, Tyler, Kanye, Jay, etc, etc, -- and in my opinion J. Cole is the realest, most lyrically talented, and I'd go as far to say that his delivery is in the top 5ish with Jay and Pac being the top two. He has crushed every mixtape he has ever dropped, and his skills don't flounder when he drops an album. (cough, cough Drake) Keep this man atop the charts when Born Sinner drops. Cole World.

Those 83 people who didn't like it ,probably listen to some b.s and call that rap....... j cole is one of the best true rapper
84*
*91
114*
julius mccaskill 150
julius mccaskill they probably disliked it because it hit too close to home and it was too real for them
this is what real rap is. even myself a kid gets tired of that false hip hop and rap. this is the realest shit iv heard from a rapper that MADE IT. and i prey to god j. cole dont change on me, us. the people that feel his music.
The first verse. Relate to that so much. My life and so many others aswel
The fact that he says
"Bring the breakdown"
makes the song 10x better
Wish that ending part was on the spotify version 😭🔥
Soundcloud has got this version

This is one of his greatest songs
What a classic💙
Damm I love j cole all his songs are something unique but this song is something else
