Concrete grew roses, but the thorns still cut deep. J. Cole returns to his Fayetteville roots on this haunting masterpiece from The Fall-Off, linking up with Future’s raw melodic pain and Tems‘ ethereal, soul-stirring vocals over The Alchemist’s dusty, cinematic beat.
It’s reflection turned fire—ghosts of the block, handcuffed hearts, and unbreakable vibes. One listen and you’re hooked.

Quotable Lyrics:
Uh-oh, uh-oh
Uh-oh, uh-oh
Uh-oh, uh-oh
Uh-oh, uh-oh
Uh-oh, uh-oh
Uh-oh, uh-oh
Uh-oh, uh-oh
Uh-oh (Oh, yeah), uh-oh (Yeah, hey)
Finding you lose when you choose to neglect
The roots that we grew to protect us, oh
The sun has been blinding lately, mm
One day you find when your light’s out
You always were a bright star to me
Even at times the world didn’t say so
One in the morning
If the walls where you once talked, would they fess up?
I’m scared of the tales they’ll tell us
Much better if I ignore.
