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
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?
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.
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
I hate when people be like I love jcole ! I’ve been with him all the way back to wet dreams ! I’m like ?????? Nah stop Who’s been ridin with him since day 1!
I love how everyone pays respect to only Lauryn hill for the instrumental ... when Santana the one playing the guitar on the instrumental lol. But yes it's a Lauryn hill sampled instrumental but this is the work of Carlos Santana. The goat
This song made me shed tears get a big gulp cover my heart (chest)with my arm and pray Allah don't let my heart break anymore then it is allready,but I can feel it sinking 😭😫💔🙏🏽please stop!please
if a homie , a girl, and a struggle don't come up during this song , you missing out on life. stop with that childish shit chasing Pokémon down the street and take in the experiences that life has to offer. then you can find someone you can truly holla at. someone that is truly yours.
“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 💯👑🔥
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
The new generation will never understand what Cole mean to the ppl 🐐
The true goat
2024 anyone,?🌹
Duh it’s a classics
bruhh
Life is weird
4 Life let's go!! 🔥🔥
To this dAy.
Tupac is looking down vibing to this with a smile on his face, i guarantee it.

+Anthony Soleno ah I see you have nocombackvidis smh😢

@@kemibeats2491 With a Capital T
Me
Cole the best rapper ever even pac and biggie woulda respected him
"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!
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
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.
better than kendrick drake wayne jayz eminem
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
Who still banging to this in 2020
2021 bruh
2021
2021
2022!
2022
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
Cole never disappoints me. Dude is ill with words. Real stories ppl can listen to
Anyone listening to this masterpiece at 2024
It is what it is. I’m not mad at ya Cole for sitting out the biggest rap beef in history.
Don’t Matter if You Apologize or Not. You’re A Legend
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..
Bro this song is so relatable... this is why i will always know that Cole is the best rapper alive.
I felt all the hurt in this song especially the second verse , Cole is a legend ! Will forever be in my top 5 .
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 💯
Always listen to cole no matter how old the song ?
Always
Always
Always
Always
@@mariorallo6918 Always
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”
Cole world 💪, 2024 we about to BBQ the game with "The fall off" 💯🔥
Who’s here in 2024 man
This song timeless
2024 mid year 🔥🔥 Ooh God the best rapper alive headshot.
We need this era 100%
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)
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
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
...heard this one before, yeah...I've been *sleeping* on this dude...*HE REAL DEAL*!
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 🔥
Who listening in late June 2024? Great song!!
🙋🏽
July 2024 til 3001
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.
“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
NOW THE JOOOOOYYY OF MY SOOOOOUUUL IS IN ZIIIIOOOOON
Definition of art.
This one might be his best, for sure is my favorite.
June 2019 and this still hits home.
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
Bro cause Kendrick really do that shit
Vibing out to this in 2020, this shit is timeless
We still here baby!
@@olderspice15 still here lmao
@@achyutchhetri5543 yes sir we back!
Legendary first verse wow I remember the day this dropped like it was yesterday Cole world forever
safe to say he killed pay homage to the great Lauren hill
100%
This ain't even her beat
@@dreamer5687 oh lord this guy 🤦♂️
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'm still wondering how people dont feel Cole. Shit hard
Always coming back to his older work..something about the pure rawness speaks to me
Love the beat to this. The vibe it gives off. Not rapish but not childish pop. Perfect. Perfect lyrics.
So glad he did this. U made Ms. Hill proud
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💔
One Of My Favorite Cole Songs💯
You can hear/feel the pain
I remember the first time listening to this it sounded so nostoligic, but maaan listening to it now it’s just beautiful 😭, nostoligic asf
We speak about time as if we could just buy it back
Rest in peace Mac miss ya man
that second verse man, love this nigga cole..
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
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”
will forever be one of my favorites
sounds like a immortal technique type beat
Jordan Ward Zion - Lauryn Hill look it up my guy
used in lowkey dreamers
Honestly it does
Fuck bro I just wrote that on another comment on this video then scroll down to see this
lowkey was thinking that
this song gives me so much goosebumps i can defiantly relate 100%
One of the most underrated songs of Jermaine 😍
"Can I holla at chu, let me holla at chu.....we speak about time as if we could buy it back." shit this track is everything
2020 been a wild one but we thankful for treasure like this track. ⚡
I will always love this song
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?
The vibes of this song is just amazing
Wow All I can say is...
GOOD MUSIC IS TIMELESS !!!
J Cole had to come hard on this cause Ms hill killed this song an he did it justice 🔥🔥🔥
Yessss favorite beat. Favorite artist.
Even if u can only relate to one of the verses, the song is deep to you.
Damn, Truly Yours is probably top 5 mixtape series of all time
HOLY GROUND. All praise to the most high
This different.......
🙌🏻Cole world
All time favorite cole song it speaks volumes
This song takes me back where I never been at.small heaven like.

Oh Cole plz don't die, coz u resurrected hip pop Muzik for your self
Amazing choice of words that makes you go deeper and beyond the words that it expresses.... One love from Australia!!!
Hidden gem
Song always hits so heavy, love it so much
I love how everyone pays respect to only Lauryn hill for the instrumental ... when Santana the one playing the guitar on the instrumental lol. But yes it's a Lauryn hill sampled instrumental but this is the work of Carlos Santana. The goat
I think about my sister when I hear this song
Damn I miss you ❤️
This song made me shed tears get a big gulp cover my heart (chest)with my arm and pray Allah don't let my heart break anymore then it is allready,but I can feel it sinking 😭😫💔🙏🏽please stop!please

Classics dont die.
One of the Greats that will be a legend. #HardworkPraisetoJermaine
if a homie , a girl, and a struggle don't come up during this song , you missing out on life. stop with that childish shit chasing Pokémon down the street and take in the experiences that life has to offer. then you can find someone you can truly holla at. someone that is truly yours.
It is about a girl, then his stepdad, then a homie
