You can feel the hunger in his voice when he says " Im out for dead fucking presidents to represent me" at the end of the 2nd verse.🔥🔥 2022 we're going harder than ever this year
J. Cole proud of you King. Your verses are dope everytime. The growth is unbelievable and you true to yourself fam. That’s a blessing. Standing tall in a game full of a fakers. We need more conscious rap
“My flow like the devil spit it and heaven sent it “ I remember being like wooooh! Hearing this at 14 love This song a fuckin classic top 5 verses from cole

I remember hearing this and his verse on “Looking for trouble” and I just knew he was gonna be something special for many years to come. Feel happy to have enjoyed his music for so long. I also thought Erreon Lee would be special too but he couldn’t really make a hit single that would elevate him to the next level

@@jasonshin8824 what are you talking about Jay made the original three tracks, Dead Presidents 1,2 and 3. Nas “baptizing” Hov is your opinion and is also irrelevant to my point
I freestyle it I spent as much time as the beat has on this one take but I've been rapping since 10 yrs old 8m 30 now its alright I guess. If you like wordplay or just some tunes to kick I hardly ever do much im just so rich and bored and I just keep getting richer and richer lol I've had alot time on my hands and considered a legend of my own to some especially the people who like music have always been competitive and try to have fun with it and have a message mostly like the turn up songs but im going to stop rapping and pick up a new hobby cause its boring now idc if I won or not but they make a pretty big deal about music in the world so I just decided im gonna hit that shit the best I can but im very playful with it and its been funny to see how everything worked out I have alot of laughs about it and attracting a killer is funny and a kidnapper and also being a criminal and being a badass I often feel great about the work I've put in and things I've accomplished lol I promised you I would be doing some badass shit and I will get down like a beast hahaha im not even halfway done im just getting started man I have alot of goals to achieve based on just being me so I have had alot of fun taking control of my emotions and teaching people how to be in control of there emotions as well I have alot respect and im not stupid I think im smart as fuck

You can feel the hunger in his voice when he says " Im out for dead fucking presidents to represent me" at the end of the 2nd verse.🔥🔥 2022 we're going harder than ever this year
Am commenting to bring you back to this banger
Still listening in 2022. And, still better than most of the music coming out these days. Cole world, no blanket!!!
J cole in his hungry phase was unstoppable 🔥🔥
Songs like these make you appreciate life even more

Terrasquad 113 You can’t tell me Logics Dead Presidents 3 isn’t better than this This is amazing but I think logics is just better
Logic? HA! please. Don’t disrespect this beat like this. Just say Cole my guy.
@@d6officialmusic41 i literally dont get the hype over logics one, ive heard it several times and it isnt that good
wheres jay z🤦♀️
J. Cole proud of you King. Your verses are dope everytime. The growth is unbelievable and you true to yourself fam. That’s a blessing. Standing tall in a game full of a fakers. We need more conscious rap
the warm up is probably my favorite mixtapes of j. cole its just way too good
“My flow like the devil spit it and heaven sent it “ I remember being like wooooh! Hearing this at 14 love This song a fuckin classic top 5 verses from cole
i love j.cole sm😫
I just found this song a couple days ago and since then I listen to it multiple times a day. Such a dreamy beat!
listen to the original one bro
Everytime I'm feeling low I listen to Cole, corny but his music just reminds when I'm feeling good about life
Not corny. He got us through those times!
When he said “I’m tryna live it like how no other nigga ever lived” I felt that
was 13 when I first heard this, always stuck with me bc he mentioned my city (Waco, Tx), which not a lot of rappers do. Came back just to realize how much of a gem this is & how good my music taste as a 13 year old was lol!
almost 22 now
"I blow spots like Waco, Texas" - Ghostface Killah
I’m 27 started listening to at 20
I remember buying his mixtapes at the old tank n tummy in siler during highschool and bumping it before I had the aux
My homie put me on to J.Cole back when he was just dropping mixtapes. Rest easy Kokayi 🕊️🕊️🕊️
I come back to this every now and then. If anybody ever took a Jay beat and made it theirs... Cole did.
Cole is just on a another level , mans like a one in a generation talent💯🦁
Hands down, the hardest Cole verse to date.
Nah...this is dope as fuck but his verse over 93 til infinity beat is colder imo.
Nah his Benny verse was fire
knock the hustle remix or johnny p 2 face are up there for me
Still here in 2019. One of the j.coles best. The most inspirational
@Vincent Callo
Done know 😤🔥🔥🔥
I remember hearing this and his verse on “Looking for trouble” and I just knew he was gonna be something special for many years to come. Feel happy to have enjoyed his music for so long. I also thought Erreon Lee would be special too but he couldn’t really make a hit single that would elevate him to the next level
Listening to this gem in 2021 😤
[Intro]
Yeah, Fayettenam
[Verse 1]
These niggas is playing
Russian Roulette with a full clip, foolish
My crew is foolless, no, we don't dance
All we do is stay two steps ahead
Make the hoes get loose like a noose neck
Instead while these dudes beg for head
They got the game twisted, heavy traffic in this rap shit
Look how my lane shifted, elevated my game, lifted my name
Now these lame niggas could never get it
Like that bad bitch you wanted but could never hit it
Clever with it, my flow like a devil spit it and heaven sent it
So high, if I dropped I would fall for 11 minutes
So yeah, I operate on a higher plane, my thoughts take a higher train
It's dope, then you should know the suppliers name
It's J. Cole, set of horns and a halo
And all these Jose Canseco's wanna text us like Waco
Its hard to remain faithful niggas be throwing hate
Yo I'm in a league of my own so what the fuck would I play for?
Some next niggas almost slid in but didn't fit in
Naw I ain't Maury Povich but who the fuck is you kiddin?
These big wig niggas throwing their bid in
Try not to show stress, I guess the flow is protested like a sit in
I told my niggas we would get in
But that ain't even half the battle
Stay behind like a shadow or you catapult
Now if I had a ladder or now even if I had a rope
I'd climb that motherfucker to the top and never let it go! I'm out for presidents to represent me (Get money)
I'm out for presidents to represent me (Get money)
I'm out for presidents to represent me (Get money)
I'm out for dead fucking presidents to represent me
I'm out for presidents to represent me (Get money)
I'm out for presidents to represent me (Get money)
I'm out for presidents to represent me (Get money)
I'm out for dead fucking presidents to represent me
[Verse 2]
Heaven or hell, you choose, freedom or jail, you lose
I can't stop, I'm as hot as the devils shoes
Overcame a low life status to blow like Gladys
Ahead of my time like I live my whole life backwards
I'm nothing like these ho-like rappers
My whole life practice to be the one
What's it like to be LeBron
They calling you the saviour, so much pressure but you deal with it
The weight of the world on your shoulders but you still lift it
Ill with it for real, lil nigga from Ville that real niggas can feel
Nobody taught us how to cook still niggas a grill
No Foreman, try not to call them ladies bees but them hoes swarmin
Now honey, aye is it destiny or is it money you're feelin
Heard rumors of a deal and now you thinkin a million
Pardon my paranoid mind but I'm starin in the mirror livin in fear that things a never be the same
No one left for me to blame but myself cause I asked for this
Headed for fame but in my brain, hey can I last in this?
Aye five years I'll probably laugh at this
Try not to let it wear me out like a bad bitch with fashion sense
I keep it fresh while these wack niggas rehash and shit
Jackin styles you know, ski mask and shit
I pass these niggas, they tryna do it how these other niggas did it
I'm tryna live it how no other nigga ever lived it [Pre-Chorus: Nas (Sampled) & J. Cole]
I'm out for dead fucking presidents to represent me
Dead fucking presidents to represent me
I'm out for dead fucking presidents to represent me
Dead fucking presidents to represent me
[Chorus: Nas (Sampled) & J. Cole]
I'm out for presidents to represent me (Get money)
I'm out for presidents to represent me (Get money)
I'm out for presidents to represent me (Get money)
I'm out for presidents to represent me (Get money)
I'm out for presidents to represent me (Get money)
I'm out for presidents to represent me (Get money)
I'm out for presidents to represent me (Get money)

This Cole would’ve never apologized
THISSSSS
FACTS! I fear that Cole is gone forever 😢
This Cole could not rap with Kendrick. This Cole would fear the Cole that apologized.
Never did . This is the time Cole is gonna..
Who else listening in 2019??
I remember exactly where I was,what the day was like and the place in my life when I herd this project.crazy
From JayZ to JCole , no one couldn't have done it better that them.
" They tryna do it how these other niggas did it, im tryna live it how no other nigga ever LIVED IT" 💯
Had to come back here after I heard Meek Mill sample it just to confirm that Cole did it better.
berna11 nah meek went in too hard on his one🔥
what’s the meek song called?
Fr3shTiger respect the game
Fr3shTiger "respect the game"
Meek nice but Cole buried this before his first album
cole n logic both killed it
2019 ?
Cole can spit so don't act like his new to rap😕
Sparta Lee facts
His mixtapes were great and everthing since FHD was great but he took time off from great albums for Sideline Story and Born Sinner
Commenting to bring you back to this banger
2022 and still fall back to this album. Just straight 🔥
This the song that made me say “that’s my favorite rapper” 😭
sums up my freshman year , had this and jan 28th on repeat 😮💨
