J. Cole - Snow On Tha Bluff

Scribing

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

Biography

edit bio

Jermaine Lamarr Cole (b. January 28th, 1985), better known as J. Cole, is a rapper and producer who was born in Frankfurt, Germany and raised in Fayetteville, North Carolina. He gained a passion for rap at a young age and first went by the names Blaza and Therapist (the latter was given to him by Bomb Sheltah, a respected rap group from Fayetteville) before settling on his own name.

He first started getting recognition in 2007 with the release of his debut mixtape The Come Up. First, after a failed attempt to share a CD of his with Jay-Z, it would later be Hov, that would come to his attention after he heard Cole’s song “Lights Please”, Jay-Z would go on to make J. Cole his first signing to his then newly formed record label, Roc Nation, in 2009.

Since then he has become one of the biggest names of the “new school” era, with the release of five platinum certified albums. His debut release Cole World: The Sideline Story defied industry expectations by selling over 200,000 copies in its first week without a top 40 hit single at the time and his sophomore Born Sinner, saw him go head-to-head with Kanye West in a now iconic sales battle in Hip-Hop. Before this, Cole released two projects that would eventually become his Truly Yourz series, the third project debuted on the deluxe edition of Born Sinner.

Cole’s third LP, 2014 Forest Hills Drive was released without any radio single promoting it and would subsequently go on to become the first featureless rap album to go platinum in 25 years. It later became double platinum in June of 2016.

Cole dropped his fourth studio album 4 Your Eyez Only on December 9, 2016, the 2nd anniversary of 2014 Forest Hills Drive. Once again, the album went platinum with no credited features.

On April 20, 2018, Cole released his fifth studio album, KOD, a 12-track project that went featureless for a third consecutive time. However, the project debuted a new alter-ego of his, kiLL edward. The album made J. Cole the first artist to debut three songs in the Billboard Hot 100’s top 10 simultaneously, with “KOD” at #10, “Kevin’s Heart” at #8, and “ATM” at #6, then a career-best chart placement.

Following the release of KOD, Cole appeared on numerous tracks as features, perhaps most notably on Jay Rock’s June 2018 track “OSOM”, 21 Savage’s December 2018 track “a lot”, and 6LACK’s September 2018 track “Pretty Little Fears.”

On January 23rd, 2019, Cole released the T-Minus produced hit “MIDDLE CHILD”, which peaked at number 4 on the Billboard charts. The accompanying visuals were released on February 25th, 2019.

May 14th, 2021, Cole releases his sixth studio album, The Off-Season. Which debuted in at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums, as the set launched 282,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. first week. This also marked the end of his “Platinum with no features” run, the album with other artist such as; Lil Baby, 21 Savage, label-mate Bas and etc.
