    "You ain't never gon' be happy 'til you love yours."

      That line changed how I perceive life. Im very competitive in all parts of life and used to always worry when I was younger I’d never have the best life, then hearing that made me realise that I can be happy as possible now as long as I’m grateful, and even in my future success I will make sure to be grateful for every thing I have in life down to the most fundamental levels.

    Just to clarify on this discussion you two are having, Hip Hop has always had conscience rappers. Early 80's hip hop talked about social issues, in the 90's there were still afro centric songs and political commentary in rap. J Cole and Kendrick Lamar are a part of a long legacy. While rappers have always bragged and showed off they have equally been advocates for their communities. We used to call rappers street reporters. The talk of gangs, drugs, parties, and drama were all like headlines from the hood.

      Oh No! I can't watch that day. "Be Free" makes me cry every time I hear J Cole perform that song on letterman. He has not performed that song since being on letterman. He says that it takes him to a dark place that is hard to come back from. It's incredible; it takes me to a sad, but hopeful place. He is speaking for me. Love it and him.

    Worth mentioning that he actually made a splash on the mixtape scene in the late 2000's with a heavy skew towards socially conscious hip hop. On his first album, however, he felt the pressure to release braggadocio songs in order to chase commercial success. This album was a return to his roots, as symbolized by him naming it after his childhood home address and buying the same house from that time.

    No such thing as a life that's better than yours
    No such thing as a life that's better than yours
    No such thing as a life that's better than yours
    No such thing, no such thing
    Heart beatin' fast, let a nigga know that he alive
    Fake niggas, mad snakes
    Snakes in the grass let a nigga know that he arrived
    Don't be sleepin' on your level cause it's beauty in the struggle nigga
    Goes for all y'all
    It's beauty in the struggle nigga
    (Let me explain)
    It's beauty in the struggle, ugliness in the success
    Hear my words or listen to my signal of distress
    I grew up in the city and though some times we had less
    Compared to some of my niggas down the block
    Man, we were blessed
    And life can't be no fairytale, no once upon a time
    But I be God damned if a nigga don't be tryin'
    So tell me mama please why you be drinking all the time?
    Does all the pain he brought you still linger in your mind?
    Cause pain still lingers on mine
    On the road to riches listen this is what you'll find
    The good news is nigga you came a long way
    The bad news is nigga you went the wrong way
    Think being broke was better
    No such thing as a life that's better than yours
    No such thing as a life that's better than yours
    No such thing as a life that's better than yours
    No such thing, no such thing
    For what's money without happiness?
    Or hard times without the people you love
    Though I'm not sure what's 'bout to happen next
    I asked for strength from the Lord up above
    Cause I've been strong so far
    But I can feel my grip loosening
    Quick, do something before you lose it for good
    Get it back and use it for good
    And touch the people how you did like before
    I'm tired of living with demons
    Cause they always inviting more
    Think being broke was better
    Now I don't mean that phrase with no disrespect
    To all my niggas out there living in debt
    Cashing minimal checks
    Turn on the TV see a nigga Rolex
    And fantasize about a life with no stress
    I mean this shit sincerely
    And that's a nigga who was once in your shoes
    Living with nothin' to lose
    I hope one day you hear me
    Always gon' be a bigger house somewhere, but nigga feel me
    Long as the people in that motherfucker love you dearly
    Always gon' be a whip that's better than the one you got
    Always gon' be some clothes
    That's fresher than the ones you rock
    Always gon' be a bitch that's badder out there on the tours
    But you ain't never gon' be happy till you love yours
    No such thing as a life that's better than yours
    No such thing as a life that's better than yours
    No such thing as a life that's better than yours
    No such thing, no such thing
    Heart beatin' fast, let a nigga know that he alive
    Fake niggas, mad snakes
    Snakes in the grass let a nigga know that he arrive

    I’m a firm believer that Cole’s mixtapes showcased his talent the best. Particularly The Warm Up and Friday Night Lights. Here are some songs to react to:
    -Can I Live
    -I Get Up (!!)
    -Hold it Down
    -The Badness (!!)
    -Lights Please
    -Get Away

    The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, but chasing those materialistic pleasures won’t ever fulfill you. You always be chasing the next thing, car, house, job, woman etc etc You have to appreciate the things that you have, the real things, then you will finally learn to love yourself and in turn those around you (who actually love you for you). I think that’s what Cole was trying to express or at lest what I get from it. Great song choice btw and God Bless ☦️
