"She gave me the gift of my son and plus we got one on the way" that's just a beautiful lyric 😭❤️

People look at me funny when I tell them this is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard....and that's ok.

For the world you’re nobody , but for somebody you’re the world.

Still choke up when I sing along with coles verse everytime

I don't know who needs to hear this, but your life matters and we need your energy. Hang in there, time heals everything.

i just hope Saba gets the recognition he deserves

“She gave me a place to stay, she gave me a heart to hold… I still got that sh*t till this day”🥰 So beautiful.. This whole song is a masterpiece.

Cole always inspires me to write a verse!

Who’s so happy to see artists like Saba grow like this

J Cole's verse is what a man feels when he is loved by a woman like he's never been before...

Johnny Venus's verse hits me so hard man, the song being dedicated to his father just makes it resonate more. Amazing song.

Who's Here In 2024

Seeing smino and saba on a video, with jcole, is gonna make alot of people proud of them.

"HUGGING THE BLOCK, HUGGING THE BLOCK, ALL DAY" something about Cole man. Something about Cole.

Just now realizing for the first time that this song is 6 minutes long… so good that it’s timeless

If your here in 2050, J Cole is one of the biggest Artist of all time👑❤

J coles verse about his wife is an all time love poem. I'm happy to be alive during this time in musical history

This J Cole verse is legendary, I get goosebumps everytime

I only found out about this song today. Gosh, my favourite rap song now. It's such a nice aesthetic, lovely lyrics, a chill beat, pure love being shout, this is ART

It does something to my soul to hear a black man say: "She gave me the gift of my son, she gave a family to love, the tears feels good on my face". Amazing lyrics that hit my ❤️ fr

This has got to be the most honest J. Cole has ever been when talking about his wife. Especially on a song. It is amazing.

This song literally makes me want to better myself in every way. If you're reading this, I'm sending positive vibes your way 😁✌

Dreamville is so awesome. He will always be #1 because of 1) His talent 2) *A U T H E N T I C V I E W S* 3) Fans

"You can't be everything to everybody" This line rings in my mind, the more I get older.

"You can't be everything to everybody" 🌊

Found out my girlfriend is pregnant yesterday, Cole’s verse has been on repeat and I’ve cried every time. (Update) Unfortunately we ended up having a miscarriage the day after Christmas, thank you to everyone for the support though. Thank you to everyone who liked or commented. Pain heals over time, even if the scars never fade. It was a tough loss to take and I was so excited to become a father for the first time, but I am still by her side and she is still standing by me. I held back tears even typing this, but more blessings will come in the future. I love you all ❤️.

4 years later and this song is still underrated! The aliens need to come take me home, I'm sick of earth 😒

I am a recovering alcoholic. It was around the time this DREAMVILLE project came out when I was at the worst point of my alcohol addiction. I remember getting so drunk and I would listen to this song on repeat until I completely passed out. I remember listening to this song when I hit rock bottom and blacked out for a whole day. Listening to it again put tears in my eyes and I thank God for pulling me out of the hell I put myself into back then. edit: It's been three years this month guys and I am still sober and it's crazy how much my life changed these three years. I went to university for a degree in IT and I'm currently running a small print bussines. Thank you so much for the love and kind words. I never knew I could find kindness and the support to continue from absolute strangers. For anyone else who is starting on their alcohol recovery ....DO NOT STOP. YOU WILL HEAL. Just keep making the SACRIFICES. Love you all❤️❤️

When J cole said “ Dangerous when there’s nobody to check you... I be having to check myself.” I felt that.😭

Saba's verse will forever be my favorite verse on the album 🤯 My boy ate here🤧

A friend just passed away in an car accident last night and for some reason every time I was with him he would play this song. He knew I loved it so maybe that was why but it just sorta feels very appropriate at this particular moment. This song is gonna be forever be associated with the bro Dewayne in my mind for the rest of my time on this earth. RIP

J. Coles verse gives me chills everytime I hear it. This song is everything

So glad Cole put Smino and Saba on the album. So underrated 🔥🔥🔥

" And Yesterday can feel just like a waste 🗑 If I don't love you, how I'm supposed too "🔥🔥🔥🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

July 2024??✊🏽🥹

J. Cole basically a philosopher at this point. Musical Genius

Hopefully saba and smino and Johnny are more recognized after this, no one deserves it more

J. COLE'S VERSE WAS STRAIGHT J. Cole dun took off HAM ON THIS RIGHT HERE! a u t h e n t I c v i e w s dun took his career off 2 the next level fr fr no cap

First guy knows what the modern rap fan wants, alot of harmonizing and switching cadence

J. Cole's verse is a masterpiece. It gives me goosebumps everytime.

I swear Saba has been one of the most underrated rappers for like 4 years

Who's with me here in 2024, this is classic 🔥🔥

A Moment of silence for those who never heard this Song... what a music right here a u t h e n t I c v i e w s dun took J. Cole oFf 2 da big leagues and fo dat I will always be super grateful

“You can’t be everything to everybody” It be like that sometime ;(

“She gave me a heart to hold. I got that shit to this day” felt that fr fr

And that's the song tha made me J Cole's fan.

One of the best deepest rap songs I ever heard..I must of showed 50 ppl this song when it came out

Coles verse on this song is honestly so Beautiful. When I first heard the song when It dropped I cried and I am so happy they decided to make a mv on this song😊

Doesnt matter how many times i hear this track, Coles part always gives me goosebumps. Glad people are becoming woke to Saba also.

J Cole verse is bigger than all Drake and Kendrick diss tracks

J Cole’s Verse is how I’ve felt, I just couldn’t explain it ….

Saba put 3 different flows on 1 verse and transitioned them all beautifully. That's talent.

Cole is a musical genius, he starts off by saying "You can't be everything to everybody" then proceeds to say a whole bunch of stuff he wants to be for somebody (ie his wife or whoever) meaning that truly you can't be everything to everybody but you can be everything to somebody

.. "North with the POLE..that ain't Santa Clause"❤️🔥🔥

2023 and this is still one of the most beautiful songs to ever touch my soul

It's refreshing to see a music video that is so raw. One location, not a lot of cuts and more time on screen with every artist. It felt real

Just me who feels like not enough people are appreciating Johnny’s hook? Like that shit touches the soul fr

Saba didn't need the beat, the beat needed Saba!! 😭😭🔥

Can someone translate J Cole's verse, I don't speak *GOAT*

A Moment of silence for those who never heard this Song...

Crazy this is probably my fav j cole verse and honestly it’s probably cuz his vulnerability is admirable 🫡 ✊🏿

When that man said “she gave me a family to love, for that I could never repay, I’m crying while writing these words, the tears they feel good on my face” I couldn’t hold it no more 🥹😭🥲

You can’t be everything to everybody

J. Cole out here again lookin humble as hell. no gold, no flex, no watch. spittin realshit bars #GOAT Wow 1k likes! thank you all for the love. i like to take this moment to say thanks to my parents for supporting me and paying for the bills. i thank my teachers for teaching me how to use youtube back in 2010. i love y'all

Gonna be in a loving relationship with this song forever

J cole said U can’t be everything to everybody 🙏🔥

Chance listening to this like " that's all I was trying to say!!"

"if we ain't siblings, we can't relate." - Saba Mad respect for this bar man

the more you listen the better

This sound needs to get some major award and recognition.

J. Cole verse is legendary. Verse of the year‼💯🔥🔥🔥

I am obsessed with J.Cole's verse. He is such a lyricist with a coherent and fluent style. I can always understand his message. Never a series of rhyming words and random catch phrases like today's rappers. He is a breath of fresh air in this industry.

It is extremely difficult to show pain while wearing a 2.5K hoodie. But j Cole pulls it off.

2024- here for cole

Earthgang’s (Johnny’s) voice and musicality, J.cole’s sentiments, Saba’s cadence...nuff said 🔥

Earthgang gonna rise up and be one of the greats real soon no cap 📈

This is one of the best songs ever recorded. When dreamville takes their time they always deliver. Inspiring.

J Cole’s verse still makes me tear up. When this dropped, I had that woman in my life. Now she’s never coming back.. I would do anything to feel like that again for a woman and it be reciprocated

Saba with a legendary verse.. Cole's verse made me shed thug tears. Smino with the wavy mid-west flow and Olu with the eclectic vibrations.. This music is spiritual #Dreamville👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥

0:29 ~ Johnny Venus (from Earthgang) 1:48 ~ Smino 2:34 ~ Saba 4:01 ~ J. Cole

This is one of the most underrated songs of all time

Damn J. Cole is really the greatest artist to ever live.

4:55 J.Cole not only sounding but also looking like the Messiah we didnt deserve, but the messiah we needed

This the most beautiful song I've heard in a minute,I'm glad they did a video for it

I love smino voice

"Im crying while writing these words....the tears they feel good on my face" you could feel that.

" Im crying while im writing these words, the tears feel good on my face"

Don't see enough love going to Saba, he absolutely KILLED that shit!! What a verse this dude is a beast. "I put my heart and my all in my art, I'm alternate All of them are the same, it's harder to tell 'em apart some days I thought I'd call 'em out altogether Rather than waste the amount of bars it'll take for me to call 'em out by name"

Everyone in charge of this MASTERPIECE deserves an award of some kind.

SCRU FACE BROUGHT ME BACK HERE

Who else has J. Cole verse on repeat?

saba underrated. care for me is one of the top 3 albums of 2018

Earth gang in general is a favorite, sminos verse is just straight vibes, One of Saba's best verses, J Cole just being a goat, there's literally NOTHING to not like about this song

Thumb up for J cole .... Dreamville forever

Just imagine how hard “Wells Fargo” would go if they made a music video!

saba is PAINFULLY underappreciated for his contributions to this song

i would like friends that agree that this is a straight classic

J Cole's verse always gives me goosebumps even though I've heard it 1000 times

Dont get me wrong Cole snapped, but why does noone talk about Saba's verse. DUDE WENT OFF
