J. Cole quotes

One thing about the men that's controlling the pen

That write history, they always seem to white-out they sins

Only thing worse than death is a regret-filled coffin

So try before you die or always wonder what if?

If they don't know your dreams, then they can't shoot 'em down

We don't look nothin' like the people on the screen

You know, the movie stars, picture perfect beauty queens

But we got dreams and we got the right to chase 'em

No such thing as a life that's better than yours

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 'til you love yours

I got a few mil' but not all of them rich

What good is the bread if my niggas is broke?

What good is first class if my niggas can't sit?

That's my next mission, that's why I can't quit

Like keep grindin', boy, your life can change in one year

And even when it's dark out, the sun is shinin' somewhere

Imagination turned a Honda into Wraith

With social media, I was off it for so long that I thought I had beat this addiction, I had beat this thing, and then I got back on it and realized 'Nah, you just took a break,'

Aim for the stars and I shouldn't have missed

But I was riding on fumes, so I stopped by the moon

Now I'm sitting on the hood of this bitch

Like, "Thanks for the view," waiting on thanks from a few

I flip my misfortune and grow me a fortune

Love yourself, girl, or nobody will

Always worried 'bout the critics who ain't ever fuckin' did it

I write what's in my heart, don't give a fuck who fuckin' with it

Long live the idols, may they never be your rivals

Pac was like Jesus, Nas wrote the Bible

Cole under pressure, what that make? Diamonds

I'm a dangerous interview because, it's hard for me to lie

I feel like, a thousand years from now there won't even be celebrities

And baby girl, you a star, don't let 'em tell you you're not

Yeah, ain't a way around it no more, I am the greatest

A lotta niggas sat on the throne, I am the latest

I am the bravest, go toe to toe with the giants

I can't tell you where I'm goin', just know I won't stop

Goodbye to the bottom (Yeah), hello to the top, yeah

If they want a nigga, they gon' have to send a SWAT team

And I'm goin' out like Scarface in his last scene

A legend, what that mean?

Perhaps I was foolish, just like the boy that prays to only see the sun

Maybe, life happens like tides

One minute you're low and feelin' shallow, then all of a sudden you rise

Maybach tinted, "'Scuse me, sir, but ain't that rented?"

I'm offended, straight cash for my Benzes, we don't pay back interest

In our thoughts, if I follow my heart to save myself

Could I run away from fifty-mill like Dave Chappelle?

"With all the cards against him, he used them to his advantage!"

You see the clout, you don't see the real me

If I was sick, you niggas wouldn't heal me

Therefore I'm healin' myself, gettin' in tune with my God

Slowly revealin' myself, buildin' my wealth
