"Whatever the mind can concieve and believe, the mind can achieve. Regardless of how many times you may have failed in the past, or how lofty your aims and hopes may be."
This is one of the few songs I’ve heard that makes me feel like I actually can achieve my dreams. The prologue, the energy of the beat and the relatable lines like “I don’t think this is meant to be, cuz I’m always losing self esteem” are just 👌👌
The prologue is Napoleon Hill. Wrote the best success book of the 20th century called Think And Grow Rich. Kendrick is obviously a fan. Many of the most successful people in the world give credit to that book. I highly recommend it! Audiobook free easy to find

You sound dumb... He never hated on Drake, it's a difference from hating someone and hating on someone. He just didn't respect the fact he put in the work and made it number 1 on his own, when Drake stole other artists music and the media and weirdos and teens praised him instead of a real artist like Kendrick
@@leultrainstinct406Bro why is this my 4th time seeing you in a Kendrick Comment Section hating😂 You're so mad Drake lost you commenting in like 4 million comments about Drake winning. Seems like Drake lost lmfao. And you and I know this sh fire lol🔥

Can there be 2 GOATS?
@@hanhdhsj now there is
@@hanhdhsj in this case yes
Yeah they blow drake out of the fucking water. Real ppl know that .
Cole isn’t functioning on Kendrick’s level lyrically or vocally. He lacks the worldview that makes Kendrick’s music so captivating.
the affirmations he speaks in his music, staying true to the path, the love of a woman. a rich spirit fr
Came here for the drake bar, stayed for one of my favorite kendrick songs now. This shit is amazing

Almost like a role model
My God, Kendrick ... your talent is insane!
Top 3 Kendrick Song for me for sure. Great workout song too.
he really spoke his success into existence
He followed the light to sell his soul. He maid everything he said true for a price.

still one of my favorite kdot songs. his old catalog full of treasures and i don't think most people even realize
Yup, this was back when rappers actually had to know how to rap to blow up.......good times
This is the track i been thinking of since the beef started. My fav early track.
Real shit!

Dont let drake hear this song

This one gave me goosebumps
Still one of the most underrated kendrick songs out their as it's now my fav
This song is still inspiring even 10 years later. That Drake line is so on point till this day that it's scary. I see why my guy won the battle.

The real ones are here!
You know when they say people be crying to Kendrick's music. I didn't believe that until now. I dead as almost cried to this and I'm a full grown man.
That last verse is too nice
Part of it does take from Kanye. But I think the way he rips it was just fire. Kanye sounded bland saying almost the same thing.
@@martyc909kendrick paying respect its homage
Bro this might be my top 3 Kendrick song now. This is sh so fire, wish this would have been on his official channel. This would blown the hell up🔥🔥🔥
Love this song. A constant mood

Go-getter with no cheddar
Just a white tee and a swap meet sweater
