    Produced by J. Cole & Wu10
    Niggas be thinkin I’m deep/intelligent, fooled by college degree
    My IQ is average, there’s a young lady out there she way smarter than me
    I scrolled through her timeline in these wild times and I started to read
    She mad at these crackers, she mad at these capitalists, mad at these murder police,
    She mad at my niggas, she mad at our ignorance, she wear her heart on her sleeve
    She mad at the celebrities, low key I be thinkin she talking bout me
    Now I ain’t no dummy to think I’m above criticism so when I see something that’s valid I listen
    But Shit, its something about the queen tone that’s bothering me
    She strike me as somebody blessed enough to grow up in conscious environment
    With parents that know bout the struggle for liberation and in turn they provided with
    A perspective and awareness of the system and unfairness that afflicts em
    And the clearest understanding of what we gotta do to get free,
    And the frustration the fills her words seems to come from the fact that most people don’t see
    just cuz you woke and I’m not, that shit ain’t no reason to talk like you better than me
    How you gon lead, when you attacking the very same niggas that really do need
    The shit that you saying? instead of conveying you holier come help get us up to speed
    Shit it’s a reason it took like 200 years for our ancestors just to get freed
    These shackles be lockin the mental way more than physical, I look at freedom like trees
    Can’t grow a forest like overnight, hit the ghetto and slowly start planting your seeds
    Fuck is the point of you preaching your message to those that already believe what you believe?
    I’m on some “fuck a retweet”, most people is sheep,
    You got all the answers but how you gon reach?
    If I could make one more suggestion respectfully I would say it’s more effective to treat
    People like children, understanding the time and love and patience that’s needed to grow,
    This change is inevitable but ain’t none of us seen this before
    Therefore we just gotta learn everything as we go,
    I struggle with thoughts on the daily
    Feel like a slave that somehow done saved enough coins to buy his way up outta slavery
    Thinking just maybe, in my pursuit to make life so much better for me and my babies
    I done betrayed the very same people that look at me like I’m some kind of a hero
    Because of the zeros that’s next to the commas, but look here I promise I’m not who you think
    Ran into this nigga outside of the store yesterday he said something that had me like “wait”,
    He was like “Cole, preciate what you been doin My nigga, that’s real” but damn, why I feel faker Than snow on the bluff?
    well maybe cuz deep down I know I ain’t doing enough,
    The sun is shining today
    The sun is shining today
    The sun is shining today
    Can you walk with me? I hope we’ll find
    the reason why we often sob. Go on cry.
    Painful memories fuck up the vibe
    though I be trying to let the time heal my mind.
    I was once a child, I’ve gotten older
    Still, I know I’m just a boy in Gods eyes.
    Fill me up with wisdom and some courage,
    plus endurance to survive help mine thrive

      So they should what? Stay silent? There is value in showing other people that they aren't alone. Changing minds? Maybe not, but there is no changing minds in 2021.
      You're never going to convince someone that Breonna Taylor deserved to live. Because the people who say she deserved it don't have human feelings and can never change. They don't matter. Preaching to them would be like preaching to leeches or rats.

      I get where you’re coming from, and J cole talks about this later in the song he says something along the lines of how people need to be treated gently, and how people are attacking the same people that need to hear what we are saying. Of course don’t stay silent, but talk with respect and listen to the other person, which reminds me of a TED talk about a guy who got some KKK leader to leave the clan just by having a lot of conversations, and having mutual respect. Don’t give up hope!

      That really isn't the point of the song.
      Literally a few lines later J cole admits that he hasn't done anywhere near enough to help his community and in his success he left behind so many people that are still suffering from oppression.
      The point of the song is J Cole admitting he is in a positon of power where he can really make a difference, where as this random black girl on twitter has not outlit outside of Twitter to actually get her message out there.

    @ACommonCliche 2 년 전 +18

    The experiences that we’ve all been going through these past couple years gets summed up very well in this song. I feel the fact that there are so many of us being touched by Cole’s lyrics shows how regardless of who we are as individuals we all still have these parallel lives that we all feel together. Sometimes we get so caught up in the “i” and “me” that we forget everyone is experiencing “i” and “me” at the same time together. So when we listen and hear an artist like Cole or Lamar and they speak on those things that they experience through the artistic language of the soul that is music, we get an opportunity to use their perspective to step out of our similar experiences and live it in someone else’s shoes. Then when we all gather to go see these artist at their shows we have this underlined understanding that everyone who’s seeing these artist perform came to feel that seem feeling i feel when I listen to them. It’s like an appreciation of all of our lives as we live them together sometimes even when we don’t realize it.

      @@echopin6412 listening to the entire song I think the problem is he simultaneously acknowledges she has a point, but at the same says she needs to change how she brings it up. At the time this was released there were much bigger things to worry about, and it feels like he took time out to tell everyone she makes him feel insecure with the way she approaches things. The fact that he expresses respect for her, her intelligence, and her ideas on and off the song, only makes his choice to make this song stranger. Really all he did with this song is reveal he’s insecure with the level of responsibility people ascribe to him when it comes to important issues like this, which is fine and could’ve made for an interesting song. Nut he chose to include her and her tone as if that’s a major contributing factor. If he’s insecure he’s insecure. Her tone wouldn’t changed that. By the end of the song he laments on how he feels fake when a fan appreciates all that he’s done, so instead of taking time out to call out Noname, why not do research, take actions, or do anything to make himself feel like he’s doing something worthwhile that he deserves credit for? I feel like he made a mistake with this song.

      i guess the real purpose of this song was to do two things:
      1) remind everyone that he's just a normal person just like them and no one special
      2) remind all the "woke" people that theyre not really doing anything for the cause
      fr tho i love this song cause it opened my mind and changed how i see shit from others' perspectives, the "woke" people nowadays just echo others' opinions and just bash people who don't think the same way they do which actually harms whatever movement they're fighting for

      Criticizing someone is not canceling them. J Cole, as anyone, is open to making mistakes and should respond constructively to those who criticize him.
      Now thinking that you 'got cancelled' when you receive criticism shows that you have much to learn about criticism itself. It's not 'on' or 'off', there's a whole spectrum.
