I don’t share a lot publicly but this song is honestly the reason I didn’t commit suicide. Everytime I felt that low I would turn this on and he said one thing I’ll never forget “ it’s beauty in the struggle” and I know imma prime example of that . I hope anybody who’s going through anything can find that one thing that keeps them moving . Mine has always been music .

When he dies fake fans will talk about how much he was a goat and the greatest but failed to see that when he was alive. J Cole the greatest rapper alive
You got this Fam 🤜🏽💥🤛🏽🤘🏽. No such thing. Mental warfare is the ultimate devil. You push through the mental shit you can get thru anything family. Believe that
You make your time, respect yourself, work, on the relationship with yourself. You can't be strong for others if you can't be strong for yourself but don't down size your achievements, to be healthy, to be mentally coherent, have faith in God, that alone is good. You've maintained your gift, you have respect within you so respect yourself, every life is equal. You'll never be your ideal self and that's alright don't worry, just keep the hope, every life has made mistakes we're all dealt different cards, different choices, you have a great life to some and bad to others so it doesn't really matter. We do a lot of complaining in our minds, our thoughts are actually a net negative. I'm not saying be obedient but have respect for yourself and forgiveness, to be mindful and present isn't to think about the past, future, or what ifs, it means to be aware of the moment of what's happening now with no feelings or thought attached. Don't be numb just decide how you feel on things, we often don't know how we feel on certain things or we don't allow ourselves to change our minds. No one gets everything I say right, no one is always aware etc... So live your life your happiness doesn't matter, you decide how you feel on things I just really hope you do what you want to do and therefore by extension I wish you happiness. I hope you got through that time bro.
J. Cole, if you happen to stumble upon this comment one day, just know that your music is touching ppl. don't let the industry take ahold of you. keep producing that from-the-heart music. you're saving ppl. you're impacting lives in a good way. keep it up.
@@angelg5603 damn what a ugly soul you have you never know someone may screenshoot this one day and show him this even if it never happens J Cole is fully aware of his fans that love his music
People can clown on cole all they want. This man is a poet, not some fufu ass entertainer. He inspires hope, and reminds me of cudi. I aspire to love mine every day, even when i dont.
During this time of heavy distress and emotions this song speaks volumes yet again. Ive been struggling emotionally, mentally, spiritually. Even if your're alone during these times remind yourself that life even in darkness is beautiful. As hard as it sounds or is, keep trying. I know I am. From a lonely veteran, whoever reads this, I wish you happiness and good health.
(imo ) this might be the greatest song of all time period. please enlighten me, but i don't know of any other song that's helped so many avoid taking their own life, and enjoy their life more....that's power beyond measure ( imo )
Main lesson: pain is what gives our lives meaning. For it is what gives us the contrast to our lives. It is what makes us value and emphasize more in our happiness.
This song is life changing, completely changed my perspective on life. Fuck all this unnecessary shit and focus on what truly matters. The people who love you, the people you love, friends, family. That's all that matters, I don't want to look back on my life and go fuck I wish I spent more time with my family, or shit I wish I was nicer to whoever. People out there chasing money and fame just for the sake of it, they act happy but they know they are unfulfilled. Genuinely the realist song I've ever heard.
Man...the first minute alone made me cry already. I work at a high school that is low-income, and I see so many kids going through this type of stuff. How I wish I could fix all of their problems and not see them suffer. When you're a teacher, you care about your students almost as much as if they were your own kids. I just wish they would know that things will get better, but so many of them want to give up and join gangs, get pregnant, get on drugs, etc. It's hard. I hope they're bumping J.Cole though; sometimes music speaks louder than a person telling you.
I wish I had teachers like you. I study on a school like that and teachers dont even care about students.. one time, when I suffered from bully, I have been beaten up by 2 kids, my mom told my teacher and she just said "I dont want this to happen again" but of corse they didnt stop.. And the rest of my teacher are only there to do their job and not caring about us that much Most of them are just frustraded in life and discontented... (Sry for my english on this one, Im portuguese and I didnt sleep shit)
This song and video mean so much to me. My family is struggling also, my mother doesn't work, and my dad works at the steel mill.Today we struggled getting milk today cuz if we got anything else, we'd of run out of money. It sucks having to live like this. To those out there who have money and a family, you are blessed.
Came back to this after the apology for the diss and everyone talking down on J Cole. I’ll never feed into that cause he’s has songs like this that are just so impactful and a message that resonates with common folks. There is stuff that’s just bigger than rap and I can appreciate that from an artist like him.
This really did make me realize that there isnt a life that's better that yours. You cant compare your life to other's because there will always be someone who has more than you do. This is something i failed to realize from day 1. Thankfully to this song, i realized that I cant be the richest, the freshest, the handsomest, the tallest the best . You can't be the best overall but you can be the best you.
I know right, I think he is realist rapper out there,my favorite,not like the other rappers who talk about money woman and drugs! And they consider j.cole under rated,smh
This song taught me how to say "Thank you Lord", if you think it's a silly cause, then you cannot relate to these words- real strugglers understand me. Bless to all my bros going through it.
ive cried multiple times to this song. Just lost my job today, this song really be hitting different. Just have to stick to the grind. Gonna have it one day
@@drehardin Appreciate you reaching out. I still don't have a full time job. I've been grinding resumes and cover letters the past two weeks. I got two phone screens this past week, and potentially interview set ups this week (waiting to hear back). The jobs are pretty promising (money wise) and align with my overarching values, characteristics, and skill sets that I would to hone in and master. I've been doing a lot of introspection the past three months, and it's really allowed me to think and I can finally say I feel somewhat at peace for myself. I've never felt happier.
Jobs come and go my friend learn from the lesson god only gave you limited time there to gain the experience and move on. The more you learn the more you earn.
the last time i heard this i was 20 years old homeless living in my work van my wife took off with her daughter and the dope dealer twicw her age and my live was falling even further apart then it already was. i was sitting in my van at 1am thinking about everyone who had fucked me over and everyone i had wronged and everyone who made an impact in my life. i grabbed the notebook next to me and started writing my suicide note listening to a playlist i had created awhile back. in my note i had a section for all the people mentioned above. it was 3 pages front and back. i was about 10 seconds from ending my life when this song came on. 'hear my words listen to my signal of distress' those were the words that caught my attention so i stared off into space and listened to it on repeat and my mind started going crazy with the details of my situation really kicking in looking back it made me realize that if i had never gone through what i went through i wouldnt be where i am now i wouldnt have learned the things ive learned and i realized that im better off then most because i know how to handle just about any situation thrown at me. this song is the reason my music is what it is today and its the reason i am where i am today no longer homeless no longer in the pit i was in 3 years ago. this song saved my life and changed it for the better. this is the goal i have in my music because of this song. is that i can pass on my experience through my own music and hope that one day someone will be writing this same comment about one of my songs you saved my life J Cole
"I grew up in the city and though sometimes we had less Compared to some of my n***** down the block, man, we were blessed" My favourite line, makes you appreciate everything
Don't be sleeping on your level cause there's beauty in the "struggle" ... If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. Sending love to everybody going through the tragedy of life without any support or something. We'll be ok
There’s beauty in the stuggle... Ugliness in the Success... Hear my words or listen to my signal of distress... this is Just one of those songs that will always hold meaning....
“Always gon' be a whip that's better than the the one you got Always gon' be some clothes that's fresher than the one's you rock” Point is Quit competing with these celebrities and social media stars and the money,stuff they got.Instead love what you have right now no matter what it is, you are blessed and the lord is looking out 🙏💯
This song has taught me how to love my self ..cause lately I’ve been going through hell ,bleeding inside .I don’t know why people are turning they back on me . I pray God change my life .and thank you Cole for this masterpiece
« So tell me, Momma please, why you be drinkin’ all the time? Does all the pain he brought you still linger in your mind? » This verse broke me in the bottom of my heart. I had this same question every day in my childhood. This bring me some painful memories that I always fear. My father cheated on my mom when I was 2 years old and she never managed to recover that. She never told me that until last year. When that happened, she told me that she wanted to be amnesic. She drink since that day to forget this painful memory. But, drink never help her to get out of this. This stituation made me cry so many times. This song help me trought hard time. J Cole is the one who care about that kind of situation. #coleworld
Me and my girl having some problems and this the only song to make me feel better. It sucks staying up all night hoping God will let you have this happiness for once. I hope I don't lose her....
+Danny 246 dude don't worry, may seem hard right now give it 1 year, sounds like a long time yeh, did for me too, but now I look back and feel much better that I experienced it, to make me know to love what I have now bro don't worry you will make it just grit your teeth and get on
one of my favourite songs ever. the lyrics are more important than ever now with everyone trying to compare their lives to the ones they see on social media. always remember LOVE YOURZ❤️
I’m glad you still here fam hopefully god blesses you and keeps you’re mind of suicide . I don’t know you but aye I love you bro please b safe and b more careful
I first heard this song in 2016 and it has been my favorite song since. It was the first time I heard J.Chole and he immediately became my favorite. This song always pull me right back from the road to depression... If only he knew
Still learning to love mine. It's so easy to compare what you have to somebody else who supposedly has more and wished that it was you, and I am still learning to love what I got and be thankful I got it. #lifelessons
Kobe's death brought me to this song. It reminded me of the speech he gave during his jersey retirement speech. "Those times when you get up early and you work hard, those times when you stay up late and you work hard, those times when don’t feel like working - you’re too tired, you don’t want to push yourself - but you do it anyway. That is actually the dream. That’s the dream. It’s not the destination, it’s the journey.” As J. Cole says to understand the beauty in the struggle, it connects exactly with what Kobe said during that speech.
When I said that last week I had no idea of the troubles to come. I needed this song more than ever now that I lost one of the most important people in my life and that person is my dad. Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers in the world and I hope you share the same love with your kids that my dad shared with me.
I pray J Cole keeps speaking the truth and doesn't let Hollywood sway his thinking or change who he is just to make a dollar he's a great rapper as long as people hear his message and keeps touching lives with songs like this money shouldn't even matter, it will come.
This song has been really helping me I was struggling with what I wanted to do in life, was not happy with myself, girl left me, and was at a point of just giving up on life. This song really helped me appreciate myself and to keep on going, there’s always better days my friends and keep pushing through everything will be ok.
I think this is the greatest song line of my life On second spot Pink Floyd Cold comfort for change Did you exchange a walk part in a war for a lead role in a cage
Man I love J Cole and his music but imma disagree with that lyric...there are many people who have a better life than me...and that's fkn sad cause there should be justice in this life....
@@AJ-ez2bt hey! We agree that J.Cole is one of the best, right? There's no such thing as a life that's better than yours...repeat it. Repeat it again...A.J.Summers, it's YOUR life. Yours only. There's no such thing as a life that's better than A.J.Summer's life. It belongs to Y-O-U...make the most of it. This is coming from a 55+ year old woman...love yourz;)
It’s the holiday season right now. Today is 11/21/2023. I just lost my job and found out I was pregnant. I have a 3 year old and a beautiful husband. Yes he listens to me and actually is EVERYTHING to me. He talks to me but I have a broken heart. Family hurt me. I was a foster child and it still lingers on my heart. So yes during the holidays I’m at my weakest. I always 2nd guess my happiness around the holidays. Overwork myself in the kitchen just for no family to come because in reality Im still that foster kid. Listening to this song builds me up. Nothing is better than YOURS! Love who’s in front of you. Hold the family you created close. Those that are for you will surround you. Thank you J COLE for creating a song that took away my pain even if it was temporary that moment of peace of mind was EVERYTHING🙏🏾❤️
Found my favorite rapper for 2k17,i live broke and my dad left me because a fight but my momma still loves me and that means more to me than anything in this world. Money dont bring you happiness,its all about the people people you love. I love you momma
This is a message to anyone out there - anyone reading this. It's up to you - you have the choice to keep your faith in the lord when you go through struggles and pain but stay strong. Don't fall, you can cry , you can be angry, but don't be weak. And as long as you do stay strong, you're a step closer to having a stronger faith with Jesus Christ and the Lord. May God watch and protect you all, take care.
I Just had my Son. As i Held him in my arms Crying i sang this song to him over and over. Thank U Cole, I love you for this one Bro, on repeat while im in the hospital with him now. Greatest feeling ever and this song will always be a part of my history 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
I admit I am ignorant when it comes to not judging a book by its cover, when I heard of j Cole I thought he rapped about Bullshit like Drake or 2 chains but after hearing this song I won't ever judge again, you made a fan mr.cole , continue to spread your positive vibes
Dwayne 14 i rather be alone and got money cause fuck everybody ain’t nobody saving you out the shit you in I ain’t got nobody now and ain’t got no money you get me
It's an all-time daily reset song. Commuting home to my loved ones after a long ass day, appreciating what I have no more, no less. This song saved me from insanity. Bless J Cole
J Cole was asked by the illuminati to join ,he refused so As y'all know the entertainment is owned by the Darkness that's y Cole hasn't gotten any Grammy,and I respect him for his wise decision. He even says in a song that ("I hope you know that money won't erase the pain") relating to all these illuminati rapper's
There’s always beauty in the struggle in life you learn lessons from being in situations like this it seems like hell at first but you always get something positive from the situation when my dad passed it was hard for me I thought I was alone but I got closer to my family and I starting to love family more so love your life and don’t care about what people think about you. Love yourself and be proud of where you come from
I remember hearing this for the first time, this song tears me apart everytime i listen, a rollercoaster of emotions come in. One thing this songs taught me is whatever position I’m in no matter how low I’m in in my life is to always look at everything you have and be grateful for every single thing you’ve got because god put you’d you in a position to reach for something greater , to be grateful you have what you have to always be happy and smile with what you’ve got because you’ll never truly learn to be happy until you love and appreciate everything with what you’ve got.
I cry single time I listen to this song ... it's so fucking amazing when music not only reach your ears but grabs tf out of your soul ... Thank you Jcole ❤
This masterpiece may or may not be heard by many, but this song told me to keep going when i was at the deepest point in my life, all the pains and sufferings were gone upon hearing J Cole’s words, Thank You J. Cole for releasing such music May You Have a Great and Humble Life
This song always makes my eyes water...when i first heard it i was in a dark place, this song put everything into perspective...i was in my car and it hit my spirit so hard i had to pull over, cry, and thank God for what i God
I'm white, 42 years old and grew up broke. This song is from a whole different era and culture from what I relate to, but I feel this one. Man, do I feel this one....
For all those Christians that's going through hard times remember we shouldn't be trying to find happiness. Why? Happiness depends upon things happening for you but we should seek joy. Joy is given to you by God and can't be taken away by man nor circumstance. Just as God to calm the storms. Mark 4:34-41
@@user-zb5fc3hy8m its not only for christians, its for anyone, but if you accept Jesus and you follow after HIM then you are considered a "christian" therefore he refers to all the believers in christ. Remember though that there is two types of Christian. The Religion christian(stereotype christian) and The Christian whom understands the word of GOD teaches that it is not a religion what HE wants, but a Relationship with each one of us individually.

Officially my favorite J. Cole song. I swear he's been in the game so long and his music only gets more real.
I know right, I think he is realist rapper out there,my favorite,not like the other rappers who talk about money woman and drugs! And they consider j.cole under rated,smh
He has only been in the rap game since like 2009 and he only has like 4 albums so he's not been in the rap game for so long but he still good
Ikr he's one of the best and his music is real💕
Straight facts, and sadly some won't like him simply because his lyrics are too deep for them.
Facts man
This song taught me how to say "Thank you Lord", if you think it's a silly cause, then you cannot relate to these words- real strugglers understand me. Bless to all my bros going through it.

Nah you don't have to believe in god to be going through struggles and get over them. People have there own way of overcoming the struggles
Dont measure your struggle with other is not a game

Andrew Huynh i needed that my guy...good look
ive cried multiple times to this song. Just lost my job today, this song really be hitting different. Just have to stick to the grind. Gonna have it one day
For sure, brother.
How is it going so far ?
3months later.....
@@drehardin Appreciate you reaching out. I still don't have a full time job. I've been grinding resumes and cover letters the past two weeks. I got two phone screens this past week, and potentially interview set ups this week (waiting to hear back). The jobs are pretty promising (money wise) and align with my overarching values, characteristics, and skill sets that I would to hone in and master.
I've been doing a lot of introspection the past three months, and it's really allowed me to think and I can finally say I feel somewhat at peace for myself. I've never felt happier.
Jobs come and go my friend learn from the lesson god only gave you limited time there to gain the experience and move on. The more you learn the more you earn.
We always thank God for opening doors, we never thank him for closing them. You will be good, God bless.
One of the GREATEST songs EVA!!! One of the GREATEST ARTISTS OF ALL TIME!!!!
Jabari Mustafa u can say that again
This song helps me to go through the hard times... tears me up always
My beautiful dark twisted fantasy
This beat ❤
Word!
Same. I always tear up
AspenBeats i feel u man we are living on little money and foodstamps
My father played this song for me....he's almost 70 years old....he loves j cole....j cole...you are reaching all ages...keep grinding!!! Much love!!
the last time i heard this i was 20 years old homeless living in my work van my wife took off with her daughter and the dope dealer twicw her age and my live was falling even further apart then it already was. i was sitting in my van at 1am thinking about everyone who had fucked me over and everyone i had wronged and everyone who made an impact in my life. i grabbed the notebook next to me and started writing my suicide note listening to a playlist i had created awhile back. in my note i had a section for all the people mentioned above. it was 3 pages front and back. i was about 10 seconds from ending my life when this song came on.
'hear my words listen to my signal of distress'
those were the words that caught my attention so i stared off into space and listened to it on repeat and my mind started going crazy with the details of my situation really kicking in
looking back it made me realize that if i had never gone through what i went through i wouldnt be where i am now i wouldnt have learned the things ive learned and i realized that im better off then most because i know how to handle just about any situation thrown at me.
this song is the reason my music is what it is today and its the reason i am where i am today no longer homeless no longer in the pit i was in 3 years ago. this song saved my life and changed it for the better. this is the goal i have in my music because of this song. is that i can pass on my experience through my own music and hope that one day someone will be writing this same comment about one of my songs
you saved my life J Cole
I wish he could read this. This is what music is for.

« So tell me, Momma please, why you be drinkin’ all the time?
Does all the pain he brought you still linger in your mind? »
This verse broke me in the bottom of my heart. I had this same question every day in my childhood. This bring me some painful memories that I always fear. My father cheated on my mom when I was 2 years old and she never managed to recover that. She never told me that until last year. When that happened, she told me that she wanted to be amnesic. She drink since that day to forget this painful memory. But, drink never help her to get out of this. This stituation made me cry so many times. This song help me trought hard time. J Cole is the one who care about that kind of situation. #coleworld

I first heard this song in 2016 and it has been my favorite song since. It was the first time I heard J.Chole and he immediately became my favorite. This song always pull me right back from the road to depression... If only he knew

this kinnda made me tear up. it made me happy for the family and for the type of friends i have
I kinda cried this is deep and I'm really thankful on what I have
+xKx True
no doubt def provokes gratefulness
indeed it is a very powerful song in my opinion and it does you much good if you heed what j cole says in this song
+xKx always cry on this.....thankful and grateful for the little things I do have....
Still learning to love mine. It's so easy to compare what you have to somebody else who supposedly has more and wished that it was you, and I am still learning to love what I got and be thankful I got it.
#lifelessons
Yeah bro I feel you. Too easy. Just have to keep grinding.
Kobe's death brought me to this song. It reminded me of the speech he gave during his jersey retirement speech. "Those times when you get up early and you work hard, those times when you stay up late and you work hard, those times when don’t feel like working - you’re too tired, you don’t want to push yourself - but you do it anyway. That is actually the dream. That’s the dream. It’s not the destination, it’s the journey.” As J. Cole says to understand the beauty in the struggle, it connects exactly with what Kobe said during that speech.

This song has gotten me through the worst times in my life.
When I said that last week I had no idea of the troubles to come. I needed this song more than ever now that I lost one of the most important people in my life and that person is my dad. Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers in the world and I hope you share the same love with your kids that my dad shared with me.

This songs needs to be played for all generations. Pure beauty.
I pray J Cole keeps speaking the truth and doesn't let Hollywood sway his thinking or change who he is just to make a dollar he's a great rapper as long as people hear his message and keeps touching lives with songs like this money shouldn't even matter, it will come.
true bro...
Me too and I don't think he will, he's built such great songs on his values!
too late bruh. thats why he say he thinks being broke was better.
Kendall Jackson he's way past that

This song has been really helping me I was struggling with what I wanted to do in life, was not happy with myself, girl left me, and was at a point of just giving up on life. This song really helped me appreciate myself and to keep on going, there’s always better days my friends and keep pushing through everything will be ok.

"its beauty in the struggle and ugliness in a success"
toon TV sometimes there’s ugliness in the struggle too
That’s a given ^
But the meaning is the beauty in the struggle ... no way to appreciate anything without suffering first
damn that's deep but true
Bh Zae but there's more beauty because of that feeling of you making it through the struggle and knowing what you've been through
This is the greatest song of all time
Please recover sooner we need u

It’s the holiday season right now. Today is 11/21/2023. I just lost my job and found out I was pregnant. I have a 3 year old and a beautiful husband. Yes he listens to me and actually is EVERYTHING to me. He talks to me but I have a broken heart. Family hurt me. I was a foster child and it still lingers on my heart. So yes during the holidays I’m at my weakest. I always 2nd guess my happiness around the holidays. Overwork myself in the kitchen just for no family to come because in reality Im still that foster kid. Listening to this song builds me up. Nothing is better than YOURS! Love who’s in front of you. Hold the family you created close. Those that are for you will surround you. Thank you J COLE for creating a song that took away my pain even if it was temporary that moment of peace of mind was EVERYTHING🙏🏾❤️
When you can relate to this but you have to hold back those tears 😢
Word I was that boy when I was younger and super unhappy too.
Yea that's how I feel.😔
Lauren James "good news is you came a long way, the bad news is you went the wrong way" that line hit me so hard...
I cried
This is one of the first songs ever to actually make me cry every time. Man its str8 🔥 😢
Found my favorite rapper for 2k17,i live broke and my dad left me because a fight but my momma still loves me and that means more to me than anything in this world. Money dont bring you happiness,its all about the people people you love. I love you momma

This is a message to anyone out there - anyone reading this. It's up to you - you have the choice to keep your faith in the lord when you go through struggles and pain
but stay strong. Don't fall, you can cry , you can be angry, but don't be weak. And as long as you do stay strong, you're a step closer to having a stronger faith with Jesus Christ and the Lord. May God watch and protect you all, take care.

This song just made me a fan of J Cole. This touched me 😞
💯💯
J.Cole Is Underrated ! The dude deserves a Grammy..Wait✋, he deserves Grammies ✊👑..
A Grammy is disrespect on this kings name. This man deserves a lot
Fuck a grammy. Get your mind free from praising that stupid shit
Cole doesn't submit to the Grammies
Grammies are overrated asf it's plenty of successful artist who've never won a Grammy
Grammys dont deserve cole
Yes we’re in a new decade and yes I’m still listening to this classic
Tomas Ca and no one is gonna hold you. This is a classic song. One of the best
crazy i grew up listening to this song and now im experience his lyrics... man life is wild
for what's money without happiness
+Timothy Brenner though I'm not sure what's gonna happen next I ask for strength from the lord up above
+Salvador Can Fly cause i been strong so far
that's an Instagram caption right there man
+Timothy Brenner lol
+Timothy Brenner what's your Instagram?😂
J Cole is one of the realest rappers there will ever be ❤️❤️❤️
I admit I am ignorant when it comes to not judging a book by its cover, when I heard of j Cole I thought he rapped about Bullshit like Drake or 2 chains but after hearing this song I won't ever judge again, you made a fan mr.cole , continue to spread your positive vibes
OK you the type of nigga I need to chill with cause you spread good vibes
2 chains rap about bull not drake
Actually you should also give Drake a second chance, he have made a lot of deep songs.
n0hav0cyet
"nothing was the same" was some real shit
seems like you judged drake, but he spits judt as much real shit...listen back to the album if you're reading this its too late
J coles music be so therapeutic you even forget about your struggles 😭♥️I Stan this guy.
Glad J cole is here. This is the type of message we love.
this song touch my mind and heart. AWESOME

Being broke and loved is better than being rich and lonely

It's an all-time daily reset song. Commuting home to my loved ones after a long ass day, appreciating what I have no more, no less. This song saved me from insanity. Bless J Cole
I don't understand how jcole Don't have are Grammy but cardi have
Tony Stark that’s interesting
Cole doesnt need a grammy or some award to recognize his achievements.
TwrecksFacts
J Cole was asked by the illuminati to join ,he refused so As y'all know the entertainment is owned by the Darkness that's y Cole hasn't gotten any Grammy,and I respect him for his wise decision.
He even says in a song that ("I hope you know that money won't erase the pain") relating to all these illuminati rapper's
Rose Mubaya Right!
There’s always beauty in the struggle in life you learn lessons from being in situations like this it seems like hell at first but you always get something positive from the situation when my dad passed it was hard for me I thought I was alone but I got closer to my family and I starting to love family more so love your life and don’t care about what people think about you. Love yourself and be proud of where you come from
this song Always touches my soul And tells me to keep on going through the sad days
I remember hearing this for the first time, this song tears me apart everytime i listen, a rollercoaster of emotions come in. One thing this songs taught me is whatever position I’m in no matter how low I’m in in my life is to always look at everything you have and be grateful for every single thing you’ve got because god put you’d you in a position to reach for something greater , to be grateful you have what you have to always be happy and smile with what you’ve got because you’ll never truly learn to be happy until you love and appreciate everything with what you’ve got.
I cry single time I listen to this song ... it's so fucking amazing when music not only reach your ears but grabs tf out of your soul ... Thank you Jcole ❤
One of the best songs ever. Lyrics, video, message everything.
i'm sobbing to this song, i love cole . he makes me so appreciative . this man gives me hope
This masterpiece may or may not be heard by many, but this song told me to keep going when i was at the deepest point in my life, all the pains and sufferings were gone upon hearing J Cole’s words, Thank You J. Cole for releasing such music May You Have a Great and Humble Life
I really needed this song right now, going thru some shit and times are rough. I need a prayer.
hope things are better now
This song always makes my eyes water...when i first heard it i was in a dark place, this song put everything into perspective...i was in my car and it hit my spirit so hard i had to pull over, cry, and thank God for what i God
❤️
Sooo deep...... this song gives me a felling I cant explain...... whoa
I'm white, 42 years old and grew up broke. This song is from a whole different era and culture from what I relate to, but I feel this one. Man, do I feel this one....

Had this song play on loop
While I sat in the corner of my room
And cried my eyes out....
J.Cole, I feel you
J cole...songs are classic...it's a shame he doesn't get as much air play on TV n radio
This track pushed me through hard times. Lost everything
But this month God blessed me with a new job.
"The good new is that you came a long way, the only problem is that you went the wrong way"
This song always makes me get watery eyes
How come?
For all those Christians that's going through hard times remember we shouldn't be trying to find happiness. Why? Happiness depends upon things happening for you but we should seek joy. Joy is given to you by God and can't be taken away by man nor circumstance. Just as God to calm the storms. Mark 4:34-41
Montonio Smith Amen
Why just Christians

Just Christians lol that's Christian like
@@user-zb5fc3hy8m its not only for christians, its for anyone, but if you accept Jesus and you follow after HIM then you are considered a "christian" therefore he refers to all the believers in christ. Remember though that there is two types of Christian. The Religion christian(stereotype christian) and The Christian whom understands the word of GOD teaches that it is not a religion what HE wants, but a Relationship with each one of us individually.
In 2025 his words...this song still hits home
