Nah they already did their version of "Imagine" for black people

THEY EVEN GOT THE BLACK AND WHITE FILTER BROOOOO

I swear, if noname ain't delete her tweets and was a bigger personality I wonder if this would be same response

agreed, but a lot of people are reacting like "he might be right but he needs to read the room". if you think the song is counterproductive just dont give it any traction, no need to silence people for speaking their minds

Powerful track. KTT is not mature enough for Cole

Holy goobernuts what is this

I hadn't seen this yet

I wholeheartedly agree. But keep that same energy and critique NoName for saying that dumb ass s*** right after George Floyd died.

As a fellow white person, to put it bluntly.

Its....white people white peopling.

And it's never a dialogue.

It's just brash generalizations and pointing the finger. Some go so low that they use white racist talking points lmao.

I love the song but I think it should’ve just been an email to her.

my god bro did u hear the song? that’s not what he’s responding about

Niggas be thinkin' I'm deep, intelligent, fooled by my college degree

Cole talking about niggas like you

White people don't make being a white person something to be proud of, I can tell you that

AYO IS THIS SAMPLE USED ON ANOTHER J COLE SONG OR WHAT OTHER SONG HAS THIS SAMPLE?

literally this tho lmaooo

is this actually about noname or is twitter just trying to start drama?

Eh I mean there’s a fair argument about timing especially when he hasn’t been particularly public about the protests

I’m not saying he’s wrong for not being public about the protests at all but I can understand why people are upset that the first song he’s released in years and right in the middle of what’s happening is a critique of the tone of a Black woman

Again I get what you mean about him speaking what’s on his mind and I get that she talked about him first but I can understand where people criticizing the timing are coming from

Dam, can't believe a KTT music sxn poster really said that to Cole

200 percent about her.

69 Pages shoutout takeshi

yall please dont mix me up with those cole stans, i just think yall are being silly rn 🤣

Wow lmfao

I like the song and Cole clearly had some s*** to get off.

I just think the timing...won't help what's going on within our community right now. That's pretty much all I have to say on this.

Can you imagine that as a email though???

Dear Ms. Noname,

Niggas be thinkin' I'm deep, intelligent, fooled by my 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, lowkey I be thinkin' she talkin' '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 s***, it's something about the queen tone that's botherin' 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 provide her with
A perspective and awareness of the system and unfairness that afflicts 'em
And the clearest understandin' 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 'cause you woke and I'm not, that s*** ain't no reason to talk like you better than me
How you gon' lead, when you attackin' the very same niggas that really do need the s*** that you sayin'?
Instead of conveying you holier, come help get us up to speed
S***, it's a reason it took like two hundred years for our ancestors just to get freed
These shackles be lockin' the mental way more than the physical
I look at freedom like trees, can't grow a forest like overnight
Hit the ghetto and slowly start plantin' your seeds
F*** 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
Understandin' 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
Thinkin' 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 Tha Bluff?
Well maybe 'cause deep down I know I ain’t doing enough

Yours Truly, Jermaine Cole

damn
