J. Cole – Snow On Tha Bluff (Official Audio)
Snow On Tha Bluff: https://JCole.lnk.to/SnowOnThaBluff
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

To think there’s people who are mad at him for this is hilarious to me.
No ones mad at this…I haven’t seen a single hate comment and look at the likes to dislike
Who Asked look at his twitter lol they were on his head this morning
Who Asked u think everybody saying the same thing for no reason????! Damn smh
@Who Asked no they was on Twitter
T-Walk ah I didn’t know I don’t have Twitter. These cancel culture bitches need to stop
I ain’t first
I ain’t last
But when I see J Cole
I click fast🔥🔥
🤙🏽
It’s a reason it took like 200 years for our ancestors just to get freed

Hit the ghetto and slowly start plantin your seeds”
@William Lion it was the blackman who sold the blackman therefor it was your own people who sold you guys. Not every man could afford slaves slaves were not treated in the way everyone thinks….you don’t beat your work smh. By the way every Nationality was once a slave
@Dwayne Midnight Actually it ended around 155 years ago, slavery was abolished in 1865…
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abolitionism
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirteenth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution
@Bart Simpson lol u got like 4 different right wing racist talking points oops I mean excuses….just stop at the shit was wrong
@Bart Simpson Actually from what I know, what would usually happen would be that captives from other lands on the continent would be sold as slaves. Africans are not just only one community or group just like europe isnt just one big community, its important to know this because when you just say black man you’re forgetting that race isnt the only thing that plays into a persons identity. Those africans who sold slaves at the time would have viewed it just like Germany would view it if they sold slaves to italy.
@Bart Simpson And for your second point, I will admit I have not personally looked into it. But I have heard enough and seen enough to know that it was dehumanizing and wrong. You yourself said “…. you don tbeat your own WORK” from that sentence itself you can see just how bad this practice was.
And for the third and final point, again I cannot confirm or deny its validity. But it shouldn’t matter anyways because the most infamous case of slavery in recent history has been of Caucasians enslaving black Americans. So of course it is the one most often and remembered. It is also still remembered today because(this is where I might lose some people) black still feel the effects.
Outro of this song plays:
Me:
Chills: ah shit here we go again
I read this before it got to the outr0 and then when it did I was DAMN he won’t lieing.
FORREAL💀💀💀
yo on god i just got goosebumps dude🔥🔥✨🔥😭🔥🔥✨
As Dave Chapelle said, “The streets talking”, no pressure cole just keep being you.
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Flash Player fr. What do we care what he says if the place we were raised in saying it
Just because Dave Chapelle said it doesn’t mean it has more validity.
@Bluckamey that’s where youre wrong my friend
@carl ward lol
Why does it feel like Cole the only Rapper nowadays that makes sense when he raps, and actually makes a point in his songs, try to get us to help change the world get out their and do something about whats happening. (We need more Coles)
Listen to the rest of dreamville’s roster they all got somn to say
Aht aht you will not low key disrespect my Kendrick…Cole is not the only..
Nah Logic, joey badass, jid, joyner,cordae are all very talented new gen rappers..
@Wahid Rashidov kendrick raps about his troubles and his experiences in and getting out of life in Compton. To me i would rather listen to his story than what Cole raps about. Kendrick ain’ t egotistical like other rappers who rap about themselves and how much they make. Kendrick humble and promotes a good message about getting out the hood and doesn’t glorify gang life. Cole for the soul and K dot for the brain. Both great i just prefer how Kendrick portrays his story.
Denzel curry
Ayo J.Cole
I appreciate your truth and honesty
Your a big inspiration to me
I dream of begin a successful artist🌘
Dream of better English first 😂😂😂
My expectations were high, but this was even better than I expected. Real & raw shit, it really hits home. Respect to J. Cole for being an artist that’s trying making a difference with his music 🤍
I love how Cole reminds us we are all human on the same mission, and that no one is more woke than the other you shouldn’t look down on someone on how they protest cause then you are no better
J. Cole is just a different kind of rapper from the rest
And Kendrick
Don’t forget Ab soul
I swear im never disappointed when he drops a new song. All he drop is bangers
He literally questioned the purpose for BLM movement
Right
oceanwavesandcocaine what bar did he say that?
Thinks that don’t exist:
*A bad JCole song*
@Krishaun Hi yo sure you even know good music ☻
@Cardi B Your boos mean nothing, I’ve seen what makes you cheer
@Cardi B
Any problema with that?
@CR7_Madrid
Any problem with that bro, then say it, im not going to get offended
(supongo que has de hablar español por el único video que tienes, así que, doy cringe, tal vez, pero si tienes algún problema con eso dímelo, no me importa una mierda tu opinión)
Well some kod songs are pure ass
All the people hating on this track never even bothered listening and it shows. It’s all love towards noname
‘Just cause ur woke and I’m not Dnt mean ur better me’ when str8 to my soul
I dont like this song at all. I read the lyrics while he rapped it. It was still garbage. I’ll never listen to this again
Real spill
@jacob blanchard it’s not a song…
Somebody called?
I’m here to say you are doing more than enough, you helped me get through a tough point in my life , after my stroke I just wanted to sit around and do nothing but one of your quotes helped me “No such thing as a life that’s better than yours “, at that point I got up and was determined to do better. Thank you !!!
Bless up!!!
you got it!!
Prayers for you! Hope you are doing better now
Keep pushing love !!!
Keep rising god bless
its very crazy haw the rap game is so un fair. Art like this isn’t appreciated but a song like trollz blows up
“how many faking their streams getting their plays from machines”
Hip hop dead
🤦♂️
This song is #3 trending. Everyone is talking about this song. Lmao you just wanted a reason to talk shit about Trollz
Cole ain buying views
“People like children, understanding the time and love and patience that’s needed to grow.” 🗣️💯
I am a fan of J.cole he has been rapping and speaking on injustices and marching in protests since the beggining of his career. What I dont understand is what do ppl want from him. They upset when he dont tweet then they become more upset because of this song. He is not Martin Luther King nor is he Malcolm X and he sure not GOD Almighty. Leave that man alone!!!!
Nah y’all mfs just mad he drill rapping with meaning and not talking bout the choppa every other verse Clowns
Fax bro
Why are pepole mad?
d t many people are saying he disrespected Black women in this song. They really flipped the narrative cause that’s the opposite of what he was talking about
Is this song really 4 minutes, doesn’t feel long enough
Everybody hating on the song not getting the message but when whack rappers come out talking about sex, drugs, and money and not educating the youth and questioning the reality of things they get praised. Smh
