Cole World Only

Jermaine Cole aka J Cole flows, period.  Below is a sampling of some of my favorite lyrical work from his latest album.  Parts of it have been edited for the Under 18 audience, in case I have any.  Clearly these lyrics are hard to fully appreciate without the music behind them, but gee whiz this guy does it up.

Dollar and a Dream: Volume III (talk about that too hot to trot.....)

"I got the nerds rappin' hard shit, dummies rappin' smart shit
Mozart meets Humphrey Bogart with this from the heart shit
Play your part, life is but a dream for me
I get a flash of nightmares when players scheme on me
It's hard to see my enemies, who infiltrated my team?"

"Sometimes I just shake my head and tell myself this is a shame
And then my other side kick in like, "Mitch don't be so fuckin' lame"
Dang, what a life, another day, another night
At times this shit is all blurry, pray and hope that God heard me
Just for those prayin' for me, man I know that y'all worry
But I ain't never failed and you can bet I never will"

Lost Ones

"And I aint too proud to tell ya that I cry sometimes
I cry sometimes about it
And girl I know it hurt but if this world was perfect
Then we could make it work but I doubt it"

Never Told

"One night stands, no best man, no bridesmaids or Reverends
Cause Wolverine’s depressing, don’t wanna be your ex-man
Cause Cupid aims and throw the darts, there go the sparks then broken hearts
Who wanna build Noah’s Ark just to have that shit torn apart?"

Mr. Nice Watch,  --Jay-Z's line--

"Uh, what up Cole, It's your time
Let these players know
Adjust ya Roley's on these mo fo'ing hoes
Whenever you ready, go!"

Your boy, J Cole represents the 'Ville harder than anybody.  Not just because he is well on the way to being really rich and is already quite famous- but because he is a bright guy, graduated with accolades from St. John U and sets the example of chasing your dream and doing it the right way.  Sure we've had plenty of relatively well know personalities come out of Fayetteville, but not a single one declares or has declared as loud and proud that they are from Fayetteville, NC.  

In the words of Little Weezy, J Cole DROPS IT LIKE IT'S HOT

Agreed?
