This is the most perfect image for this song. 2019 was a crazy year and the summer was full of so many emotions. I fell in love with a girl I was hesitant to talk to because I thought she was too good and I genuinely didn’t want to hurt her, but after months and months, we started talking. We were both seniors in high school, and I had just moved to a new state. I had no friends and no one to turn to. And then she came along. We started talking, like I said, at the beginning of summer, and then she told me she was moving to Florida. I was devastated. We hung out on the 4th of July, and then she flew out of town 3 days later. We kept talking and throughout the following weeks, we ended up creating a crazy amount of feelings towards each other. She planned on visiting her friends for a week in August. She neglected her friends and we were together all day every day. I called into work “sick” multiple times just to be with her. We went to eat one of the nights and we decided that we wanted more. We went out to my car and stared at the roof of my car until about 2 am and promised that we were going to make long distance work. I dropped her off at the airport a few days later, and as I was watching her plane take off, I saw the sunset against the city skyline, just like the image on the screen, and I wondered if I would ever see her again. We ended up ending the relationship about a month later. She hated the distance, as did I, but with school starting up and our need to adjust to the college life created a different kind of distance, one that felt more tangible than the 1,300 miles between us. That was one of the worst phone calls I’ve ever had. I was crushed. I was so mad at myself for not reaching out to her sooner and pursuing even a friendship months and months before I did. We started taking in December, yet didn’t hang out until the 4th of July. I’ve moved on, but it will always be one of my biggest regrets. You’re probably wondering why this song means so much and especially in relation to that story. I loved this song when it came out, and I played it constantly. I love the melancholic feel and the underlying sadness. As I was driving away from the airport, this song was playing. That memory, and the whole summer and duration of me knowing that girl will forever be attached to this song. I don’t know if I loved her, and I don’t know if I do now. Trinity, you’re never going to read this, but I hope you’re happy. I hope you’ve found and created a life that you enjoy. You’re going to do great things. I think God put her into my life so that I could find myself. Bittersweet sadness floods my mind when I think of her. Regret, not in the normal way, and wonder will always go hand in hand when I think about her. Not all good things can last, but some never even happen in the first place ❤️
Ooooof, fuck man you’ve given me DEM FEELS! I usually couldn’t care less about these long stories in yt comments but yours just drew me in. My wife and I have been arguing and haven’t talked in the last day and a half. This just softened my ego up enough to go mend things. Thanks Jacob. I don’t know you, but if your comment is an indication of how you carry yourself, I can guarantee you’ll find what you need. It may not be what, or who, you were looking for but you’ll get what you ultimately need. Peace brother ♥️
its sad but yet something you need to live the rest of your wonderful life with, we're all humans with different stories and feelings to things and i know that she misses you too man., i really felt for you bro it ended up terrible between you two but you grew up and knew that you just need to handle the situation you're in. you know, this whole story of yours is actually my biggest fear of life. to loose, and be forced to forget someone you loved, liked or just knew because it feels like a complete waste and you feel fucking empty inside. i'm just a worried little 15 year old in Sweden and its just weird man, i mean i'm never gonna talk to you anymore after you respond to this comment (I hope). and its sad to know how many humans i've talked to or seen or people i've never even known to be alive, how many of those I wanna meet and just have a chat with. but i dunno lets just carry on with life. thanks
Song comes on: ok ill just listen to the first verse.. Ok one more verse.... Maybe one more Oh shit king cole gotta listen to this verse. Song over: maybe repeat just once more.
this song reminds me of the last time period when things were “normal,” i remember going to Tennessee (as a Michigan native) for a family trip in late 2019 celebrating the new year… how i miss those times…
I felt that when J Cole said “You can’t be everything to everybody” meaning you gotta focus on yourself before everybody else which is something I gotta work on myself cuz I make this mistake myself I care about everybody else more than myself
This song with the anime background brings back so many memories. When quarantine hit I just got out of a relationship with my ex and it felt like my world was falling down, and around the same time I got closer to my bestfriends and we would smoke and do edibles and we would even stay the night at our houses just us 4 getting high. I was struggling with depression at the time, and going back and fourth in my head about all kinds of stuff, I wasn’t happy with life, myself or anything. During the day I was somewhat happy, and the moment night hit I would be stuck in my head with depression and anxiety, blaming myself for almost everything, and I even got mad at God bc i felt like I didn’t deserve any of this, this pain, this heartbreak, this feeling of wanting to end my life. So I ended up drifting away from God for awhile just bc i just wanted to be alone and just suffer by myself. But my friends were always there and the times I wasn’t home I was with them, so my relationship with them got stronger and helped me thru this battle. But bc of my friends my relationship with God got a lot stronger and wayyy better than it ever was and now I thank him for letting me go thru that and now Im grateful. So every time i hear this song it brings back bad memories but also good memories. I’m forever grateful 🙏🏼💙
J. Cole's verse 4:30 You can't be everything to everybody I wanna be your lover, your best friend Your Batman, Spiderman Fight to polish who and now your rival's in I wanna damn near kill you to be the one that heal you up I wanna be the one that feel you up On nights when you need good dick to cheer you up I wanna be the one to build you up A wall worth five billion bucks to keep out the rah-rah And the blah-blah-blah so nobody try to steal your thunder Pull you under Toss my hopes out, Royal Rumble We done moved out to the Boondocks Built a big house, there he wonders How somewhere along the way He went from Huey to Eddie Wuncler I been so disconnected, my perspective is ignorant When you rich, niggas don't wanna correct you Say something crazy, they won't interject Do every drug that you want, they gon' let you Dangerous when it's nobody to check you I be havin' to check myself Nigga, stop holding that money, you know you got plenty I be havin' to spread my wealth I used to be at the crib myself Seven years old, off of Bragg Boulevard Where they bag up the raw They gon' stand on the corner, one hand on they balls And they ran when the cops come, there go the laws Then I packed up a bag and I trapped it up North on the path of a star And I ran into you like I met you before Now damn, me and you goin' half on a boy, sing Huggin' the block, huggin' the block all day I had nowhere to go, she gave me a place to stay She gave me her heart to hold, I still got that shit to this day She ridin' with me on the road, she ridin' with me in the A Huggin' the block, huggin' the block, okay She gave me the gift of my son, and plus we got one on the way She gave me a family to love, for that, I can never repay I'm crying while writing these words The tears, they feel good on my face, hey And yesterday could feel just like a waste, yeah If I don't love you, how I'm supposed to?

That Smino flow is masterclass. Dude is just so creative with the way he phrases things. Really top-tier talent out right now!
So slept on though. It’s crazy.
@@noelbackwards Yeah, I know. I think a lot of people just don't understand what he's saying too.
Smino deserves sooooo much more recognition
Good for the arches I'm Dr Scholl's. Super underrated line from this

as all Cole and dreamville.
It’s not
I dont know i feel like the beat is the best part of the song.
@@unbotheredking oh it is
Coles verse is unforgettable, that flow and the way he changes it. Badass
This made me really appreciate saba’s rhyme scheme and actually the whole song better 😭
never fully appreciated how clean coles flow is till I heard this, even slowed down it sounds flawless
He's really precise with his raps. Listening to him always makes me feel like a lesser rapper 😂
How he switched flows is so flawless that casual listeners don't even notice it most times. Man is a legend.
HUGGIN DA BLOCK
HUGGIN DA BLOCK
ALL DAY
I HAD NOWHERE TO GO
SHE GAVE ME A PLACE TO STAY
😭
SHE GAVE ME A HEART TO HOLD I STILL GOT THAT SHIT TO THIS DAY
SHE RIDIN WIT ME ON THE ROOAD

These slowed and reverbed tracks are something else!
Don’t they hit different? Esp when you finna get to sleep
We been doing this in Texas for decades!
one of the greatest songs of all time
Hands down

Sabas verse was the best bro idc idc
and thats ong
I think J Coles verse was the best (except the part when he starts singing, that was, ironically enough, the worst part of the song imo)
Dude what do you mean J.cole's entire verse was amazing every lyric and melody out of his mouth was beautiful
Fxcts people be dick riding Cole 🙏🏿
i second this. just listen to what my man says and he switches up the flow 3 times on the same shit. hes been slept on for time now
That EarthGang back and forth gets me everytime
Especially with head phones in🔥
This song is soooooooo underrated
J. Cole's verse 4:30
You can't be everything to everybody
I wanna be your lover, your best friend
Your Batman, Spiderman
Fight to polish who and now your rival's in
I wanna damn near kill you to be the one that heal you up
I wanna be the one that feel you up
On nights when you need good dick to cheer you up
I wanna be the one to build you up
A wall worth five billion bucks to keep out the rah-rah
And the blah-blah-blah so nobody try to steal your thunder
Pull you under
Toss my hopes out, Royal Rumble
We done moved out to the Boondocks
Built a big house, there he wonders
How somewhere along the way
He went from Huey to Eddie Wuncler
I been so disconnected, my perspective is ignorant
When you rich, niggas don't wanna correct you
Say something crazy, they won't interject
Do every drug that you want, they gon' let you
Dangerous when it's nobody to check you
I be havin' to check myself
Nigga, stop holding that money, you know you got plenty
I be havin' to spread my wealth
I used to be at the crib myself
Seven years old, off of Bragg Boulevard
Where they bag up the raw
They gon' stand on the corner, one hand on they balls
And they ran when the cops come, there go the laws
Then I packed up a bag and I trapped it up North on the path of a star
And I ran into you like I met you before
Now damn, me and you goin' half on a boy, sing
Huggin' the block, huggin' the block all day
I had nowhere to go, she gave me a place to stay
She gave me her heart to hold, I still got that shit to this day
She ridin' with me on the road, she ridin' with me in the A
Huggin' the block, huggin' the block, okay
She gave me the gift of my son, and plus we got one on the way
She gave me a family to love, for that, I can never repay
I'm crying while writing these words
The tears, they feel good on my face, hey
And yesterday could feel just like a waste, yeah
If I don't love you, how I'm supposed to?
And yesterday could feel just like a waste, yeah
If I don't love you, how I'm supposed to?
I make sacrifices, bloody sacrifices
It’s ‘fighter pilot shooting down your rivals’
@@scoots2713 yeah
Been memorized that shit
deffo 2019 summer vibes, best summer of my life no, in fact, the best year of my life everything was so put together back then i wonder if we'll ever go back to normal at this point
When Earthgang came on at the end, I swear I felt goosebumps in my skin.
at this point i just need to find all of these songs on spotify & apple music on a slowed & reverbed playlist. this one is biblical
my guy!
honestly one of my favorite songs of all time
This is something I never thought I needed until now!!! Thank you
Can you do Sleep Deprived pleaseeee😫😫😫😫
I never knew I needed this as much as I did. Atleast know I can keep up with Olu’s rapping verse
not gonna lie this slowed down version is just as hard as the original
“She gave me a heart a hold I still have that shit to this DAY”
This song brings me hope that the world itself can be saved and helps me see the greater good in really mf horrible people. More life to Jermaine and the features for making an underrated masterpiece.
We just not gonna talk about Johnny Venus, bet lol
i love his voice
Lmao fr like yeah Smino popped off but give my man Johnny some love. Earthgang could use some more appreciation in general cuz they are 🔥
Bobby Shewan his energy is necessary to this song
Olu, mastercraft level artist.
saba’s verse is soooooo good wtf
4:35 coles part is actually fuckin beautiful
This was easily my fav song of 2019
same
I never thought I needed this in my life
but damn is this amazing
Thank you for this

Can you please do PTSD?
God I thank you for slowed music

Young nigga back from the dead
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
Nigga almost lost his head, yeah
Gotta run, gotta fly, gotta float
Channels on top of the dresser
Baby, you down, need to bless up
Gotta watch how you address us
Playing no games, no dress-up
I got an idea
'Less you wildin' out in my hood, dawg ain't right here
Caption me as world nominated before I miss, yeah
Let the AK spray straight before I'm finished, yeah
As a monologue, talking to the fog, fuck a ho and miss, yeah
I make sacrifices, bloody sacrifices
Cutthroat, grab his toe, I suppose
Maybe that's what life is
Ayy, man, caveman
Two drink, cave in
Two blunt, ease up
Booyah, leaves up
Who care? Who there?
Do what? Wake up
The hell, happened
We want, hands up
Pay you, dare you
Motherfuck, motherfuck
Sister fucked, granny fucked
System, get some
Yeah, you, day two
Yeah, you, you, you
You a van, through the van
Stripper, good Lord
Top chi, not me
Boy, please, whatever
You next, to death
To go, ooh, oh
Who's that? Ring ring
Your number, bang bang
Callin' up, talk it up
Move over
I make sacrifices, bloody sacrifices
Cutthroat, grab his toe, I suppose
[Smino:]
Shit lookin' all red from the North with the power
It ain't Santa Claus
Brought my gifts to Atlanta, I'm Atlanta Claus
I can smell you pussy with the panties off, I
Been gettin' to the bread, tryna keep this shit low
But it ain't workin', my
Circle on fire like a circus now
Around the same niggas I been around, so
Of course I (Of course I), endorse my (Endorse my)
Reggie lil' nigga from the North Side (North Side)
It's astigmatism, you got poor sight (Poor sight)
Let the bitches forget it, I do it Alzheim'
Of course I (Of course I), I divorce my (Divorce my)
Opinion on advance when you walk past
(On bro, that shit groovy, I made it)
Niggas pull strings like a guitar, guitar, G-Star jeans on my sneakers
I'm a real soulful nigga, collared greens inside your sneakers (Yeah, yeah)
Ferguson days on Castro
Wasn't no cash flow
But I'm good for the always, I don't got the shows
I'm good for your whore, let me snatch your shone, shone, shone
[Johnny Venus:]
Bloody sacrifices
[Saba:]
Yeah, ayy
Look at what a motherfucker do for the cash and take
They'll be right across your head like it's Ash Wednesday
You got to just get off your ass like your ass is fake
You can't sit, and if we ain't siblings, then I can't relate
Today's shit, I'm Asic, I run shit, I got it jumpin' like pump fake
I don't need nothing but one take
I'm from the part of the city where young nigga keep him a nine like one plus eight
Our politician a fuckface
Corrupt like a Dogg Pound Gangsta
We do it like a small town wager
How I'm the dropout major
Success stories, I favor
Used to cover my scars, out here tryna cover The Fader
Yeah, Pro Tools, knobs, and the faders
Tail picks, as-salamu alaykum
You ain't 'bout static like AM radio, ain't even playin'
I put my heart and my all in my art, I'm alternate
All of them are the same, it's harder to tell 'em apart some days
I thought I'd call 'em out altogether
Rather than waste the amount of bars it'll take for me to call 'em out by name
Caught a glimpse of the alternate world I've introduced to you
Via the studio, got 'em studying our mixtape
I'm from the hood like my mama, put that on my mama
I lay the law down like parliament, all just with a pen and page
[Johnny Venus:]
I make sacrifices, bloody sacrifices
[J. Cole:]
You can't be everything to everybody
I wanna be your lover, your best friend
Your Batman, Spiderman
Fight to polish who and now your rival's in
I wanna damn near kill you to be the one that heal you up
I wanna be the one that feel you up
On nights when you need good dick to cheer you up
I wanna be the one to build you up
A wall worth five billion bucks to keep out the rah-rah
And the blah-blah-blah so nobody try to steal your thunder
Pull you under
Toss my hopes out, Royal Rumble
We done moved out to the boondocks
Built a big house, there he wonders
How somewhere along the way
He went from Huey to Eddie Wuncler
I been so disconnected, my perspective is ignorant
When you rich, niggas don't wanna correct you
Say something crazy, they won't interject
Do every drug that you want, they gon' let you
Dangerous when it's nobody to check you
I be havin' to check myself
Nigga, stop holding that money, you know you got plenty
I be havin' to spread my wealth
I used to be at the crib myself
7 years old, off of Red Boulevard
Where they bag up the raw
They gon' stand on the corner, one hand on they balls
And they ran when the cops come, there go the laws
Then I packed up a bag and I trapped it up north on the path of a star
And I ran into you like I met you before
Now damn, me and you goin' half on a boy, sing
[J. Cole:]
Huggin' the block, huggin' the block all day
I had nowhere to go, she gave me a place to stay
She gave me her heart to hold, I still got that shit to this day
She ridin' with me on the road, she ridin' with me in the A
Huggin' the block, huggin' the block, okay
She gave me the gift of my son, and plus we got one on the way
She gave me a family to love, for that, I can never repay
I'm crying while writing these words, the tears, they feel good on my face, hey
And yesterday could feel just like a waste, yeah
If I don't love you how I'm supposed to
And yesterday could feel just like a waste, yeah
If I don't love you how I'm supposed to
[Johnny Venus:]
I make sacrifices, bloody sacrifices
BLOODY SACRIFICES
Beautiful song slowed and normal, this just has a more long love type of feeling while the normal one feels like a new love
This hits different when you're driving alone seeing sunset.
