J. Cole - Be Free (How we feel) *Michael Brown Tribute*

[thernbroom]

"There was a time in my life when I gave a fukk. Every chance I got I was screaming about it. I was younger. It’s so easy to try to save the world when you’re in college. You got nothing but time and no responsibility. But soon life hits you. No more dorms, no more meal plan, no more refund check. nikka need a job. nikka got rent. Got car note. Cable bill. Girlfriend moves in and becomes wife. Baby on the way. Career advances. Instagram is poppin. Lebron leaves Miami. LIFE HITS. We become distracted. We become numb. I became numb. But not anymore. That coulda been me, easily. It could have been my best friend. I’m tired of being desensitized to the murder of black men. I don’t give a fukk if it’s by police or peers. This shyt is not normal. I made a song. This is how we feel.

Rest in Peace to Michael Brown and to every young black man murdered in America, whether by the hands of white or black. I pray that one day the world will be filled with peace and rid of injustice. Only then will we all Be Free"
- Cole

I like the thought. He should have rapped on it though, his singing can't carry it on its own

[W.I.Z.E.]

Maybe...just maybe, hip hop will return back to being a social-political voice of help for those who are silenced and despaired.

Told y'all Cole is lowkey heir to the throne

great idea but what the fukk happened to rapping?? or maybe he did this on the premise that since rapping is associated with "urban" that singing would reach more people?

I figured if any top tier rapper stood up and said something it'd be Cole. Kendrick would be another one but hes been scared shytless since the control verse.
