Only the real ones know. This song is hard asf.
Toooo damn hard.. got a tear typing
@@Moloc2230 facts. day one cole is vintage af
Cameran Miller shit be legendary from cole man
I like the original version better for some reason.
If j cole dont work with this dude ima really be pissed kzhead.info/sun/lJWPlt2bmX-lhq8/bejne.html
I recommended this song to a friend who had impregnated his Gf, dude was so confused about the whole thing. He even thought of running away. I sent him the song, a week passed he came back to me. He said dude we moving in together, to date he references this song as the one that made a mark in his life and made him turnaround. This song preaches real life. Cole World to the World, Dreamville is packed
The reason this nigga should get. A Grammy.. His music heals and changes the world for better
Thank you for showing him this song instead of him making his child a statistic & J. Cole deserves so much more praise I'll be honest I didn't like the new J. Cole until I took another listen but J. Cole is a blessing the new hip hop needed
Manchester is blue

My homeboy Bagwell sent me this track I think 10 years ago. This is the song I listen to whenever my ex girl says she misses her period lol. That part where Cole said "but what about your seed nigga?" is gonna make you cry man.
Who is here in 2024?
Wish rap would go back to just straight bars like this. Music with meaning and the words make a story and teach you a lesson.
Now people are bragging girls and guns and money rap is going to become trash soon
@@TKG-King-Moe they’ve always been doing that
There’s still some good rappers I don’t mess with alot of these new rappers I’m young myself but the way i make my music is theres a meaning it’s not just pointless words and sounds good it’s actually a meaning
J Cole didn't die. He still alive releasing bangers.
@@JBSkits123 who do you listen to?
This was the song that did it for me and then I became part of Cole World.
Me too!! Much love
ME TOOO
Same here, proud of me
Same. All the way from África/Mozambique
This song is special
Daaamn I forgot how hard this song is
I listen to this til the day

I'm class of 2012, remember in high school when I got my gf pregnant at 17 and was terrified. Few months shy of going out on my own and finding out how the world truly works. Heard this song and broke down in tears. Made me ashamed of the cowardness I was feeling. I grew up without a father, yet I was considering abortion. When he said "but what about your seed nigga" I knew I had to man up. Fast forward to now I'm 8 years married with 4 beautiful children by the same woman I was with since 16. I'm pro Choice but anybody going through it needs to really think about it. Almost missed out on the most precious things in my life. Being a father, the best father you can be, is the most rewarding feeling in the world.
A Kaleidescape is a great metaphor for your logic.
Congrats but you need a vasectomy, both of yall
Powerful words. Also class of 12
Im proud of you. God bless and keep your whole family.
*Nigga i just cried. Had my first at 28 but never had a dad and this spoke to me at 19 HARD and so did you just now at 30!! I love what you just did there
Lost my job two months before my daughter was born..this song spoke to my heart. Gave me the courage to start over. .she 8 today
🥺
Much love, well done
I'm so happy for you fam. You go this G
That was dope to hear! And I don’t even know you! Keep being the champion you are , for that little one!
Let me claim her for taxes
I remember the first time I watched this video, I just found out that I was pregnant, I was really young and thinking about getting an abortion, so I couldn't be more scared and now that he re-up loads the video I am with my baby, he is three years old now and he's having his lunch watching Mickey Mouse and I just can't believe how fast time passes and that something that I thought had ruined my life turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to me. ❤ I know no one asked me but this got me on my feelings, I love this song
Girl I amsending love to you and your baby.
❤
Love for you and your baby, you are a great person ❤️
No doubt u did you thing queen....pour your love and courage into your child
Damn. That’s really Fuckin cool ❤️
"But what about yo seed nigga" will forever be the greatest line😔.
Who is here after the off season dropped? Just to remember that Cole is really the G.O.A.T
Me
class of 2013 here.... this right here... hits home more than you can imagine
not the goat but top 15
When this first came out I was 16, I listened to it over & over. My daughter is now 12 & the most brilliant birthday gift I could’ve ever received.
I remember this song, haven’t heard it in a while.
@RaYMC lmao
If Cole don’t work with the artist he’s buggin kzhead.info/sun/lJWPlt2bmX-lhq8/bejne.html

Haven't heard this since a girl I dated used to play it when it came out. Crazy how the song is totally different it me now.
I still think this is the best song ever made(J.Cole). The story, him rapping about both perspectives then the perspective of others about the situation. Just amazing.
It is a great song but not his best. Some of his songs from 10 years ago some less than 500k views are better. Search up in the KZhead search bar, "Best old J Cole songs" and click the playlist with like 124 songs or 128. I guarantee if you listen all the way all 124 songs you find many songs that you like better.
@@ousman4005 KZhead is the only place where they are all out. Theres barely any on Spotify or I tunes. It is one of his best but I don’t think it’s his best.
@@andrewmcglinchey3055 Why are you so pressed? Let this dude have his own opinion damn
I'm hearing J Cole's older music for the first time now and realize - he's always been a conscious rapper. Talking about life and its ups and downs, giving his perspective. Hip Hop is not all about money and drugs like the mainstream wants it to be. Real hip hop is lyricism, poetry and about elevating the way you think & feel. That's why I resonate with Cole's music. This is just my opinion 💯
Absolutely this. He's quickly becoming my favorite artist. I only learned of J Cole maybe 12 months ago. I've liked everything I've heard and for those exact same reasons.
There’s Rap/Hip-Hop, then there’s J.Cole. Dude is another level and speaks to real ass shit.
Well said my friend. When people say that all rap is just rhyming about bitches and killing people I also reference j Cole. Great minds think alike. Happy listening
@@jp547i used to consider logic the greatest but this song showed me what an icon cole is
Even if we lived in a world where rap doesn't exist Cole would still be one of the greatest poets in history.

*holy damn. J cole is timeless. 50 years from now, imma be listening to cole and never will be bored of him!*
Fucken preach 🙌🏻
Exactly is well worth waiting for
Today is a good day, Had i made a different desision, my son wouldnt be turning 1 today, shit like this makes you think twice before doing something You might regret. Good shit Cole, this song is golden
Happy birthday to your son!
Hbd!!!
@@forgetful9845 thank you Master Roshi! Lol
@@osoharlemkid thank you!
shit so crazy cos at the same time u took the decision to not abort, in a lot of cases the kid gets thrown in a evil world with fucked up parents just to grow up traumatized... im 25, now its cool and all to live but still i would rather be aborted than go thru my childhood/teenager again
My girl just told me she was pregnant tonight please pray for us
congratulations. I know you guys will be greay
prayin for you brother you got this
Hope everything is well with you, your girl and your blessing
You got this❤️❤️
Been there, praying for you
From 1:34 to 2:34 is probably some of the most heart-wrenching and authentic lyrics of any song in history. That part has chokes me up any time I see and hear it. Kudos to the actress, she absolutely made this video, although she is acting, her pain is palpable.
I'm not even a little disappointed
Big TRUTH
I left my husband when he asked me to chose the pregnancy or our marriage. My baby is now 7 turning 8 in August. I saved him lost my marriage. He is very close to his dad right now. ❤️🙏🏾
You did the right thing so keep your head up love and God bless.* 💕🙏🏽💕
@@mmaya772 thank you. God Bless 🙏🏾
You're welcome love.* 😊@@noroxxx2349
My birthday August 7th God Bless y’all 💯🙌😇
What? In a marriage? What?
For me is the "What about your seed?" line that hits different. 😭😭😭🔥🔥🇿🇦
Another fellow south African 😂💯
I’ll share something with y’all. I got a side pregnant because at the time I wasn’t really about the whole relationship thing, just only worrying about myself. When she told me I had no words, instead I kept quiet trying to figure out how do I tell her that this ain’t the move. I finally let her know what’s on my mind. “We can’t bring a baby in this world, how we gonna make it work? We’re not even together and we don’t love each other, how does this make sense?” We haven’t talked for a few days, I came across this song when he first dropped it back in 2011, & I probably heard this song about 4 times just thinking like damn, this song be talking about my situation… next time I saw her I apologized, told her I was just afraid. Now I have a son who’s 7 months old, and looks at me like I’m his biggest hero. I am so grateful for him. This song changed my perspective and made me man up. 💯
U a GOT
GOAT

Your goated I look up to you. Having a bbygirl soon wish health for all
Fuck yea bro we need men in the world you doing something special

Goddamn. Cole's ability to show both sides of a story is pure magic
Damn J cole is smartest singer of all time he just change documentary to song
True
*rapper but yeah you're right.
“i aint too proud to tell you that i cry sometimes about it”
This song still hits the nerves when you been in this predicament before but stood stayed with your partner at the that time regardless.. one of the most toughest seasons in life I been thru
Ong going thru it rn hoping to get thru it this my first time hearing this n it hit every nerve.. wow
@@teezentertainment bro I wish u the best. One thing I can tell u is that nobody will ever truly regret keeping a baby. Can’t say the same for abortion
@@shlomoedelstone3397 thank you for your kind words bro .. my kid is here & healthy ... u right an abortion woulda been sad its just like wat he was talkn bout in this song .. like where he gone get the momey from to raise it which is the main reason of panic whrn having a child tbis song is just crazy good gets me so sad
I hear you. This my story too. Knew it wasn't gonna work . Total head fk. Years later shits as bad as predicted but angel is still worth it. Yh maybe id have dodged a bullet and wouldn't know any difference but I get it now; child's a blessing and as beautiful as imagined. Im not holy but truss have faith. Itll get better.. hang in there..🙏 lifes mad. God gives you nothing you can't handle..
@@reasonabledoubt6908 heard you and I appreciate the words fam 🙏🏾
Still mind boggling how accurate this song is with me my baby mama. I couldn’t listen to it without crying for years. My son 10 now an thriving. Life goes on. 🤙🏼
🔥🔥🔥🔥
I wonder how many lives were saved because of this song. Massive respect to Cole for this one.
I was literally thinking the same thing. Some of them are in the comments ;-;
MANNNNNNNN REAL SHIT RIGHT HERE!!!! I'm reading all these comments and the impact this song had and I know there's gotta be more people that it touched. More MEN. J. COLE IS THE TRUE GOAT
Amen. Hope it continues to reach the hearts of young men on the journey to be a father. Much love my baby is due in 5 months.
Shoutout to the homegirl who memorized the verse ✊
With all the attitude and emotion needed perfectly as well🫡✊🏼
stop playing with us king and drop the album already 🔫
This song old but the Video make it feel like he just dropped the song...
Facts
The video been out lol
@@knoor5185 for like 10 years lol
Fr
@@keysersoze5032 its been out for 10 years and nobody told me
I can't describe with words how perfect this song is. J Cole thank you for existing
This song deserves a billion views
When I was in high school I got a girl I really cared for prego before I left for college & didn't find out until after she had a miscarriage. I cried myself to sleep when I 1st heard this song..ain't mean to get heavy but this song hits all the feels
Cole reuploading his old videos. He teasing us smh
Nah look at his community page
@@almightdrip_jay8581 where?
Yeah what is that
This video got leaked a long time ago that’s you think it’s a reupload
@@AnterianGee no it was posted and got removed
I can never not cry when listening to this. J cole's one of the few male rappers who gives the woman's perspective. Love him.
10 years later and this song still hard af
This definitely had 40+ million before it got deleted.
he can do it again
why deleted?
@@paragod4815 Not sure, Cole’s KZhead page said it was a mistake.
@@RealReeseElDon definitely not even gonna get close it’s gonna get like 3 million at the most
Exactly the conversation we had and still together 18years later. Love this shit!
I remember being 17 in the clinic listening to this song on repeat just bawling.
im in this position, i don’t know if im pregnant and im destroyed
@@melanietovar1420 I hope you're in a better place? I'm praying for you 🙏
Did you go through with it?
@@smokeymcpot69 I’m curious as well
Damn, this song is deep. The fact that he has re- uploaded it means he is putting an emphasis on the message
This song helped me cope with an unplanned pregnancy and keeping it was the best decision I ever made, my girl be turning 4months🙏😇
First ever song i heard from j cole right before i entered high school. Still a classic . J cole got to show the youngsters his old music before he drops another classic album
Me too!!! This made me his fan.
This man is a lyrical genius! Conscious rap is what it is. Where are these types of hip hop nowadays? Black men men be doing useless rap nowadays and is a turn off for me. Much props to Mr J Cole for such an inspiring rap , 50 years from now am still gonna listen to this track.
Hell yeah, coles the shit! Listen to Run away by him it’s really good too
Up until this moment I haven’t cried in years. Even if I tried it just couldn’t work, had too much trauma. My girlfriend and I went through this same situation a year ago and no matter what I wanted I had to respect the fact that it was her body and her decision, so she ended up getting the abortion. Thanks for helping me release my trauma Cole.
The fact that this man was THIS conscious on his FIRST album is crazy. Came out the gate spitting facts fr.
Second verse still gives me goosebumps to this day💔
I said those same words she did and I meant every fucking word. I listened to this song while crying on the floor holding my beautiful 3 year old little boy. See shit ain't easy but my God it is WORTH IT. To have this innocent reflection of yourself waking you up with the sweetest "Mommy" you've ever heard is worth the struggle. His daddy chose the street just like my daddy did and that's ok. My son's dad knows my only expectation of him is to "Be the type of father YOU choose to be" so yeah I've let him inside the 3 times he's shown up and I don't ever call or hit him up for anything. I'll never change my number or my address but our life ain't stopped. In fact our life has become so beautiful that i barely think of "daddy" because I am too caught up enjoying the blessing that doctors said would NEVER be gifted to me. I am 2 semesters away from a college degree so I can give my boy the life he deserves. The life I never had. When the bills come and my heart sinks to my stomach, God has shown up every time and I somehow rub two pennies together to keep our lights on. Then I take my boy outside to play to distract me from the tears while I tell myself that it won't be like this for much longer. Head up, crown straight bc a future King is paying attention to how a Queen's crown sits. It's so worth it yall. You can't fight what God's got planned for you so embrace it and love it. You are worth it.
Beautiful comment.
my mom did for me what you are doing now. it can be done. keep ya head up, u on that path. your boy will pick up the slack when hes old enough to understand.
look into compound interest investments, namely index funds. s&p 500 is your ticket to freedom. youd be surprised how 400 a month for 10 yrs grows. with this u can retire 10 yrs after graduating. good luck queen
YOU a queen not many women like you. Keep on your path best of wishes.
God bless you and your child
I CRY EVERYTIME I HEAR THIS SONG.
Me too 😢
i feel chu
There is no old Cole or new Cole its just Cole.TIMELESS COLE.
This song hit so hard. I went through this at 16. My boyfriend at the time and his momma keept pushing me to have an abortion over and over. I didn’t. I had my son when I was 16. My son was murdered when he was 16. This song just hits me some kind of way. My son Enrique Rios would have been 23 on 1/2/23. I miss him more and 😢 more every day. Especially since those who murdered him have never told us where they left his body Now Im here listening to all of J Coles songs and crying to almost every single one of them missy baby boy
Wow.. so sorry this happened to you. I’ll pray for you. 😔🙏🏽
Sorry for yo loss may God look over you. 🙏 for you gurl
I am soooooo sorry this had to happen to you and your family! Prayers to you and your loved ones...🙏♥♥
Sorry for your loss.
I'm so soryyy ...it hurts having that feeling
I'm happy that I did right before hearing this wonderful song 🎉❤❤❤. I love you my Son❤🎉
“And I ain’t too proud to tell u that I cry sometimes about it “ 😢
This song takes me back to when i was pregnant I'm blessed to have my daughter 💯👌😇 💜
i cant believe I am back at this song crying, after all these years. My ex of 6 years cheated on me when I was 9 months pregnant. DCPP got involved and I lost custody of my daughter at 3 mnths old because I let him come visit and his dumb ass was nodding out. we were both addicts, I got clean, he wouldn't.. but I convinced myself I could help him. That seeing this perfect tiny creature that we created would make him see life is worthwhile. It took a long time to accept that no amount of love, would make him change. I vividly remember the sore eyes from the TEARS, trembles, sleepless nights all because of some dumb ass 'man' had my convinced I was nothing without him. My babygirl is 3 years old now, DCPP put us through hell but you better believe I got my baby back, stayed sober, got us an apt, a car, a stable life!! Years of doing this should alone, man, there are no words to describe the pain and heartbreak I STILL feel. I didnt sign up to me a singlr mom, but here I am. My father OD'd when I was 9. I never wanted that for my daughter. I cant change him but I sure as shit changed myself. 2 years of healing and he ha the audacity to call me from jail... I still care about him and he knows that, he uses it against me. I will Never allow myself back into that mess but cant let go of the hope that one day my daughter will know her father. If any of you ladies are doubting what to do, PLEASE take my advice, do not let a man influence your decision. Good or bad, YOU live with the decision, and more importantly, that babys gotta live with the deadbeat.
@@jess_jeff7549 omg I'm sorry you and your daughter went through that i went through something similar as yourself but the love for our kids will win at the end we where blessed I'm glad you and your daughter are doing wonderful may you be filled with many more blessings take care god bless you 😇
I got chills every single time that I listen to this song. Till this day
This song slaps and has a really deep meaning. This is Cole’s greatest track in my opinion 🔥🐐
The most poetic reminder to keep it wrapped up. It was like Cole was in school with us.
This song makes me so thankful we have a daughter in this world. We've been together since our last year of high school together in 2010. Had our daughter in 2020, I'm a blessed man. Grateful for everyday, I'm hoping you read this and know that you can do it. You are enough. ❤
One of J Cole's saddest songs (if not maybe his most saddest).
Nah breakdown but this is up there
@@danielfishman8801 love yourz is sad too
@@danielfishman8801 sad and happy
so relatable tho. ion see it as sad, but simply: real.
Once an addict is the saddest to me and deep asf
When my BM was pregnant with my first kid I was playing this song 24/7 and i truly from the bottom of my heart appreciate you for me. To this day I still get emotional when i listen to this. Thank you King 🙇
Damn this nigga Cole changed my life I will forever love you Cole World for life
This was my first song I heard from the GOAT J Cole
Music is therapy especially when it’s relatable,BIG respect for this song. Some real words 💯👊🏽
Anybody notice he wore the same jacket in the “Simba” video. And it’s the same building from the “Lights Please” video. I never noticed before
Maybe it’s Muhammad Crib? 🤔
“You gon wear that jacket every got damn night?” “ you know what I paid for this shit?! Bitch you got damn right”
lmao what if they filmed all 3 in one week
He is an amazing lyricist and story teller. Can we also talk about how GREAT that actress (Antionette Lenae) was? 😍💯
Damn still gets me emotional to this day 😭😭
IS SOMETHING ABOUT TO HAPPEN
album drop 🙏🏼
@@elianacano8167 like confirmed?
@@tkjams2482 sadly not confirmed. Hoping tho
we wish
This song helped me make one of the most difficult life changing decisions. My little boy is going to be 10 years old next month. We love you J. Cole
To everyone struggling if u do decide to keep ur baby just remember there will be times that u feel the world is against u but there will be so many more moments that make having a baby worth it. It will always get better and there are programs that are able to help
Every mainstream j Cole song does not compare to this masterpiece
Heard this song so many times in the bus on my way to school. Still feeling it. Shout-outs from Germany ✌️
Advice for all men.. TRUTH
Such a talent to make a track that will always be relatable for people forever
“And I ain’t to proud to tell you that i cry sometimes cry sometimes about it” 🎧🎼🎶
thank you cole for making this song, it’s helping me more than I can ever explain. I was 19 found out I was pregnant and like you said he started “ flipping like reciprocals “ and I just sang ,screamed , yelled and cried EVERY SINGLE DAY to this song. He tried to make me get an abortion .. that was the last thing I wanted I ended up having a miscarriage at 3 months due to “stress” ….. that happened in July. 💔this was our exact situation I was ready to do it by myself but God had other plans :/ I still listen to this daily because it helps me so much. Thank you J cole for this masterpiece my heart is not mended but your music is the little comfort in life that I have .
hts hard, its an old all timer classical. beautiful tears.
How did this song not win a Grammy?😢
This is my favorite J.Cole song of all time, i play this every other day
Maybe...just maybe.. hes taking us down memory lane before he drops “the fall off” Like what led up to him “falling off”
That’d be fire no cap
Gonna remember this comment
that would be insane
Mindblown
Cole never fell off?
Cole World🌍❤️💯
I was in prison when Cole came out. didn't get the chance to hear his songs, now many years later I'm hearing this, and I'm in a bad situation and this song is talking to me. man jcole is like my favorite rapper,2pac! damn he's cold with them words and painting them visuals.
I honestly forgot about how powerful this song was😕.
"One two one two one two one two"
J day kzhead.info/sun/nd2fn7qfn5aohJs/bejne.html hayyy
12 years later and nearly every bar sends shivers over my whole body!
One of the rawist and realist songs I’ve ever heard.
I’m a j.Cole fan since 2020 but I just heard this song like 5days ago and this song hits deep for real,never been in a situation that he’s talking about but he portrays it so good that I can feel the weight of that situation on back
Put some respect on this man. This track is deep. I can't stop listening to it. And I just found out that it was recorded in 2011. Wow J Cole so much respect bro🙏🙏🙏🙏
This shit hit me everytime cause I had the same struggle at 20..every word he and “she”says was exactly how we felt from beginning to end. True story telling, growing through pain.
2024 I found myself here. The song that made me a J Cole fan. J Cole the greatest rapper
This guy always touches HEART & SOUL .. Yes its not R&B he has new genre H&S
HBD man you been helping me grow for a long time.
Listenting to this after “lights out” really speaks volume on how much j cole cares for women
My man was raised by a single mom so he can relate what they be going through
I swear this song is one of the realistic songs I have listened in a while. It's a cole world.
This a classic but nobody feels me 😢
J. Cole saved my life. 💛
Classic one of the greatest J. Cole songs ever 🔥 still incredible in 2022
I had a son at 16 and I feel this song 100% im here for him no matter what’s once I brought him into my book I will be sure I leave it with a good ending when I’m gone . God give him the strength to make a sequel of my novel and go down a better path 🙏
The storytelling in this song >>>> Cole is the GOAT
J Cole all in my notifications and I don’t mind🔥.
