"put me on I just wanna be the best for real, I wasnt doing it for the money or no girls" this line hits so bad. You got on ma nigga.. and you proved to be the best in the world!!
When people like myself say Cole is the goat and people disagree with that opinion its clearly because they have no idea about any of his hidden music. Dude is a legend and one of the realest we got or ever had.
Yeah, Hey, Warmup Hey yeah J. Cole, cause I got it yea Hey warm up, yea hey uh yea Cause I got it [Verse 1] I remember me and my niggas goin' hard on that BlackPlanet shit Was finna go to college, need a BlackPlanet chick While you was playin' hard like a BlackPlanet Crip Talk that shit in real life I had to backhand a bitch Remember back in '99 my favorite rap Canibus Bomm Sheltuh was the shit, Nervous Reck and the clique Put the battery in my back, gamme' the gat and the clip Now these hoes want a nigga phone number and a dick 'Memba back in '98 that's when I first planned this shit Watch when I hit the streets these new niggas can't exist When ya'll was wearin' rap diapers I was tearin' down cyphers This ain't no overnight I put in time like a lifer 'Memba back in middle school they used to think that I was hyper Now I throw the Ritalin in my flow, get 'em hyper Watch for vipers, that girl is a snake He gon' wife her, shit You know powder blue suit, white Nike her Hey she that nigga leftovers You the microwave The bitch done seen more clubs than Tiger, (aye) Get a driver plate, while he drive away Yea you was almost fly but your flight delayed A little late boy Me and my niggas been eatin' off little plates boy And yeah I'm hungry so trust me don't feel safe boy This is Carolina's finest I'm high without the marijuana, honest, I promise Yea, you know that I got it Yea you know man I'm a sure shot right now homie, I got it [Verse 2] Ay 1996, my own room now, I'm hangin' posters up Holes up in the wall my stepfather said I ain't supposed to But I'm hoop dreamin', hangin up pictures of my idols Jordan was like Jesus, SLAM was like the Bible I used to read it twice and cut the pictures out Had the Jordan free throw dunk tongue stickin' out Focused tryna' figure out, should I leave it here or move it there Even hung them shits on the ceiling I had to use a chair Cause I was only like eleven, ain't even had no pubic hair Told my mama when I make the league I promise you a crib And I meant it, was ill wit the pill Real skinny nigga, you couldn't tell me I wasn't a little Penny nigga Pictures of Reggie Miller, even David Robinson Kobe with the half-fro Stackhouse and Iverson Was all over, reflectin' my life, boy, you heard me Top it off I throw on my Carolina jersey, fo' real [Hook] Nigga, I thought I was going To Carolina Nigga (I got it) I coulda swore I was gunna be a Tarheel, Nigga, Dean Smith Nigga, You know?

I'm crying bros. I just texted this song to my brother now. My friend from freshman year of college showed me this track shortly after it dropped. My little brother just started college this month.....I just want him to go for it....
These lyrics from the second to third verse are literally my life from junior to senior year after basketball season ended the slam posters came down and walls became covered with rappers
Had to go back to this track, after seeing J.Cole get to be on the recent Slam magazine cover. Listen to it about 3 weeks ago, but it’s dope things came full circle with his words.
One of his best lyrical songs y’all still sleeping on the young cole. His transformation is unbelievable. The song toys between his youth to teenage made in a basement.... Jordan was like Jesus slam was like the Bible.... pac was like Jesus source was like the Bible “ cole worldddd
I completely agree. His voice and flow is good for mainstream. But his lyrics, he said some stuff that made me go whoa. I know no one else could think of that.
[Intro] Yeah, Hey, Warmup Hey yeah J. Cole, cause I got it yea Hey warm up, yea hey uh yea Cause I got it [Verse 1] I remember me and my niggas goin' hard on that BlackPlanet shit Was finna go to college, need a BlackPlanet chick While you was playin' hard like a BlackPlanet Crip Talk that shit in real life I had to backhand a bitch Remember back in '99 my favorite rap Canibus Bomm Sheltuh was the shit, Nervous Reck and the clique Put the battery in my back, gamme' the gat and the clip Now these hoes want a nigga phone number and a dick 'Memba back in '98 that's when I first planned this shit Watch when I hit the streets these new niggas can't exist When ya'll was wearin' rap diapers I was tearin' down cyphers This ain't no overnight I put in time like a life Mama back in middle school they used to think that I was hyper Now I throw the Ritalin in my flow, get 'em hyper Watch for vipers, that girl is a snake He gon' wife her, shit You know powder blue suit, white Nike her Hey she that nigga leftovers You the microwave The bitch done seen more clubs than Tiger, (aye) Get a driver plate, while he drive away Yea you was almost fly but your flight delayed A little late boy Me and my niggas been eatin' off little plates boy And yeah I'm hungry so trust me don't feel safe boy This is Carolina's finest I'm high without the marijuana, honest, I promise [Hook] Yeah, Fayettenam Yea, you know that I got it Yea you know man I'm a sure shot right now homie, I got it [Verse 2] Ay 1996, my own room now, I'm hangin' posters up Holes up in the wall my stepfather said I ain't supposed to But I'm hoop dreamin', hangin up pictures of my idols Jordan was like Jesus, SLAM was like the Bible I used to read it twice and cut the pictures out Had the Jordan free throw dunk tongue stickin' out Focused tryna' figure out, should I leave it here or move it there Even hung them shits on the ceiling I had to use a chair Cause I was only like eleven, ain't even had no pubic hair Told my mama when I make the league I promise you a crib And I meant it, was ill wit the pill Real skinny nigga, you couldn't tell me I wasn't a little Penny nigga Pictures of Reggie Miller, even David Robinson Kobe with the half-fro Stackhouse and Iverson Was all over, reflectin' my life, boy, you heard me Top it off I throw on my Carolina jersey, fo' real [Hook] Nigga, I thought I was going To Carolina Nigga (I got it) I coulda swore I was gunna be a Tarheel, Nigga, Dean Smith Nigga, You know?

if there were two artists I'd want to be around that I feel have good influences on my life, it would be j cole and Kendrick Lamar. I like drake, but the message he brings is different than the one I want to bring. that message is that I can stay with my woman through hard times and even though i talk my shit, I still live her like I did two weeks ago. And I hope you guys don't try and degrade my life just to make my feelings into something sad. I am totally wrong when I talk my shit to my girl, but I can't help my self sometimes.

When you go through Cole's catalog and remember how fire the old shit is!!
+MrDtownsfinest1 facts
right
Warm up era was crazy
No way this comment 9 years old😢
A lot of new cole fans don’t look back past forest hills. Sad cause the warm up and the come up gotta be his best shit to date
Friday Night Lights too
I feel like we need a support group 😂
There will always be those who remember
This is why his old shit stays in rotation til this day. It doesn't get more authentic than the passion that he rapped with. Boy was hungry.
I agree!
On my soul.
Perfectly articulated
Hyenas!! Lol I agree brodie. Dude was starving !
Who’s back here after he made it on the Slam Cover?
“But I'm hoop dreamin', hangin up pictures of my idols
Jordan was like Jesus, SLAM was like the Bible“
People thinking the quote is a play on "Let nas Down" they don't even know about this heat right here
I'm here 12 years later because jcole is still the goat
"put me on I just wanna be the best for real, I wasnt doing it for the money or no girls" this line hits so bad. You got on ma nigga.. and you proved to be the best in the world!!
When people like myself say Cole is the goat and people disagree with that opinion its clearly because they have no idea about any of his hidden music. Dude is a legend and one of the realest we got or ever had.
"THROW A RIDDLE IN (RITALIN) MY FLOW, GET EM HYPER"
just wanted to make sure everyone knew how genius he is..cole world
Hey thanks didn’t catch that
Basic cole
He went so hard and made it sound so easy.
Y’all was cutting lawns I was writing songs, put me on, I just wanna be the best for real 😳‼️🔥🔥yessir. He made his dreams reality‼️‼️🥶💯
I remember walking to high school playing this daily. Cole has always been something else 🔥
Me too!
People still don't know about this side of Cole smh.
I'd rather listen to Cole's old shit than his new shit
+Redmantiger truuu
Josh Robinson half the people that listen to him don't know about the true j cole
Josh Robinson seriously, people don’t know about this j cole. Even to this day
So sad ... j cole colossal
Yeah, Hey, Warmup
Hey yeah
J. Cole, cause I got it yea
Hey warm up, yea hey uh yea
Cause I got it
[Verse 1]
I remember me and my niggas goin' hard on that BlackPlanet shit
Was finna go to college, need a BlackPlanet chick
While you was playin' hard like a BlackPlanet Crip
Talk that shit in real life I had to backhand a bitch
Remember back in '99 my favorite rap Canibus
Bomm Sheltuh was the shit, Nervous Reck and the clique
Put the battery in my back, gamme' the gat and the clip
Now these hoes want a nigga phone number and a dick
'Memba back in '98 that's when I first planned this shit
Watch when I hit the streets these new niggas can't exist
When ya'll was wearin' rap diapers I was tearin' down cyphers
This ain't no overnight I put in time like a lifer
'Memba back in middle school they used to think that I was hyper
Now I throw the Ritalin in my flow, get 'em hyper
Watch for vipers, that girl is a snake
He gon' wife her, shit
You know powder blue suit, white Nike her
Hey she that nigga leftovers
You the microwave
The bitch done seen more clubs than Tiger, (aye)
Get a driver plate, while he drive away
Yea you was almost fly but your flight delayed
A little late boy
Me and my niggas been eatin' off little plates boy
And yeah I'm hungry so trust me don't feel safe boy
This is Carolina's finest
I'm high without the marijuana, honest, I promise
Yea, you know that I got it
Yea you know man
I'm a sure shot right now homie, I got it
[Verse 2]
Ay 1996, my own room now, I'm hangin' posters up
Holes up in the wall my stepfather said I ain't supposed to
But I'm hoop dreamin', hangin up pictures of my idols
Jordan was like Jesus, SLAM was like the Bible
I used to read it twice and cut the pictures out
Had the Jordan free throw dunk tongue stickin' out
Focused tryna' figure out, should I leave it here or move it there
Even hung them shits on the ceiling
I had to use a chair
Cause I was only like eleven, ain't even had no pubic hair
Told my mama when I make the league I promise you a crib
And I meant it, was ill wit the pill
Real skinny nigga, you couldn't tell me I wasn't a little Penny nigga
Pictures of Reggie Miller, even David Robinson
Kobe with the half-fro Stackhouse and Iverson
Was all over, reflectin' my life, boy, you heard me
Top it off I throw on my Carolina jersey, fo' real
[Hook]
Nigga, I thought I was going To Carolina Nigga (I got it)
I coulda swore I was gunna be a Tarheel, Nigga, Dean Smith Nigga, You know?
It didn't take long though,Figured I'm not balling my nigga
Look I'm 13 now ain't shit the same
Yea nigga still hoopin' but the shit done changed
I got a new love, addicted to rhymin' it's like a new drug
Plus a nigga sick with it
I'm fuckin' whole crews up
And all hell, I started studying my idols
Pac was like Jesus, The Source was the Bible
I used to read it twice and cut the pictures out
I know my Mama wonderin', what the fuck is this about
Cause all that basketball shit on my wall was gone
Replaced it with pictures of some rappers with firearms
And plus a couple posters of bitches posing in thongs,
You niggas was mowing lawns I was in here writing songs PUT ME ON
I just wanna be the best for real
I wasn't doing it for no money or no fuckin' girls
Back then I knew I was the nicest nigga in the Ville
Right now I feel like I'm the illest nigga in the world
The World world word
Like so people can find easier 😁
Thank you😁😁😁
Whole song fire, but that first verse goes crazy
I'm crying bros. I just texted this song to my brother now. My friend from freshman year of college showed me this track shortly after it dropped. My little brother just started college this month.....I just want him to go for it....
J Coles' music - " I put in time like a lifer."
College is tough
Girls are tough
Guys are tough
Family is tough
Goals are tough
God is tough
But
I got it🎶
& still got it
2020 still going hard this lives on forever. I GOT IT 🔥🔥🔥
Yesss
2021
Still bumping this in 2023… to infinity
j. cole is smooth as hell. his flow is sick. dude don't need a cure....he is the cure. the next big thing in rap after jayz.
i have this song on my phone, but had to come here after Cole got the cover of the SLAM for the comments aha
Same
I love it when J.Cole doesn't rap to serious. It's just so laid back & joking. Something you can ride to.
These lyrics from the second to third verse are literally my life from junior to senior year after basketball season ended the slam posters came down and walls became covered with rappers
Jordan was like Jesus, SLAM was like the Bible ! :D
2022 and this is still one of my favorite Cole tracks. Ever.
Had to go back to this track, after seeing J.Cole get to be on the recent Slam magazine cover. Listen to it about 3 weeks ago, but it’s dope things came full circle with his words.
Used to listen to this 2011 in high school tryna figure shit out, Cole really got a nigga through the times 💯
j cole's the nastiest guy out...he tells stories in every single song. i don't think there's been someone this talented in hip hop in fucking years
this is the kinda music i need in my life ;D
he still got it .
90's Basketball was the shit.& So is this song!
I’m glad I heard this song been going through some depression that hit me really hard but I’m getting my shit together again.
Just to think of it now he got on the cover of slam , words can’t describe how much his music and him as a person means to me , ❤️ NC reppin
Now Cole is on the cover of Slam!
One of my fav Cole tracks. Used to bump this all the time way back.😂🔥🔥🔥
HE MADE IT TO THE SLAM COVER
2022 and I’m still blasting this masterpiece 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I still till this day haven't heard a verse better !!!!
So nasty

Joseph Sevilla try to analyze why you do it. Ask how she feels honestly, and hopefully you could figure it out
