J. Cole - I'm A Fool Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yea, I’m a fool, hundred thousand for the jewels
Last year we killed the game and left y’all browsing for the clues
Old niggas out here search for that fountain of the youth
Money talks and hoes say its an arousing point of view
How could you justify, I testified up in this booth?
And then, throughout the years, spilled tears and shared truths
Somehow they love a nigga better when he talk about his loot
Chain like a kelidescope, see life through a wider scope
Therefore, I know this necklace really represents a noose
Still I hit the jeweler how much racks to make me cooler
I just play the game homie, I ain’t make the rules up
Started from the bottom same way you lace your shoes up
So if I’m blowing cake, blame it on the place I grew up
Where niggas had nothing but dreams and television
You can tell I’m living, right?
Never said I’m living right
[Hook]
And they like
Boy you a fool [x3]
And they like [x3]
Boy you a fool, Boy you a fool
And they like, And they like
[Verse 2]
I’m a fool, hundred thou to go to school
So much debt left me and my mama damn near drowning in a pool
First to go to college, they say knowledge is a tool
But these hoes on campus make a young nigga drool
So we party, skip class, get ass and talk cool
Meanwhile, she back home working hard I use that as my fuel
So I finally graduated but I’m sad to say that
I ain’t learn a fucking thing except the game and how to play it
I’m a fool, no scuffs on my shoes
No cuts I don’t bruise, so fuck y’all reviews
She told me Cole I love you roll with you way before the riches
But you way too educated to be calling women bitch and calling brothas niggas
Pardon if I cross a line but all this time
Knew you was different than all them other niggas
I responded to her “please don’t put me on a pedestal
Cuz I know better and I’m still a fool”
[Hook]

Don't get me wrong, Cole's still sending out great messages in his newer songs, but it is just something about his older music that gives me goosebumps. 😍😍😍
This song helped me thru my varsity days..
my shit!
why isn't this on spotify?
Check out Alice Smith "She Fool For You"
If you like original rap music which is heavy on flow, wordplay and rhyme schemes, then this might interest you

Been a fan for plenty of years but every few months I still keep finding new old songs. This shit getting crazy he really the goat everything fire 🔥
"I responded to her please don't put me on a pedestal. Cuz I know better and I'm still a fool."

Which album is this on?
Michael Watson it's a remix from a verse in one of his early mixtapes
ok so i read thru the comments.. and found that im not the only j cole fan to never hear this before!! like bruuhh this shit should be on every j cole's best lists, and in every discussion of his top 10 songs
I question your fanhood if you're just now hearing this for the first time.
+uzibitch1 I wouldn't blame you, i only became a fan like a year and a half ago, because this girl told me i should listen to him, so i listened to a playlist titled the best of j cole, n i just sat there for hours, had to listen to damn near 3-4 albulms worth and was like damn this guy is the truth, yet among all those songs this didn't appear, and i'm so shocked because i'd say this could easily make his top 10 or somewhere around it
@celos tigre have you heard "killers?" and you should hear "the storm." one of my favorite story-telling tracks and he made it when he was just 15
I'm a fucking fool
💎📶
came here from the nba on espn commercial.. i'm a big cole fan and don't remember ever hearing this. its a good one tho.
most underrated jcole track!!
+Jonny Kadima exactly!
gaven gray on datpiff is crazy albums called 1982 and soul food
Jean-Marc Kadima he has too many
if you don't like a J. COLE song, then listen to it again. it's like Shakespeare, you might not get it the first time but when you do it gives you insight not only about the artist but about yourself as well
gaven gray crazy on datpiff albums called 1982 and soul food
dani davis its event more like that with Kendrick
" So I finally graduated
But I'm sad to say it
I ain't learn a fucking thing
Except the game & how to play it, damn "

Richard Caceres
Amazing
I'm not even jokin when I say I been vibin wit 2014FHD since it dropped! It's like the only thing I been listenin to but I was in the mood to hear the Melanie & Cee-Lo joint so I searched for it & I ain't even know this existed! This is EXACTLY what I wanted! That's crazy!
One of those good songs that just floats out there like grew up fast and the cure, can't find them one any album.
+Josue Rivera like I said none of the songs I listed are on any of his album's including his mixtapes
Well idk but the best ones are 1.fridaynightlights&the warmup
2.truly yours1&2&3
+Josue Rivera yes truly yours albums are some of his best work
@James nunez yeh but i cant really decide there is probably more.
There is a lot of good songs that i cant see in his mixtapes doe
HOW MANY SONGS DOES THIS NIGGA HAVEE??? How dare I call myself a fan
Lol a lot man...you got hip to him late didn't you?
@Wiz Allday he has a bunch of singles that i dont know about damn
lol yup there was a stretch between his 1st and second album where he was coming out with singles every month and sometimes 2 in a month
😍🔥
His music is way more relatable than most. The beat of a song should not overshadow the message of the artist.
Most of us aren't pushing Bugatti's and rocking Tom Ford lol, J.Cole's doesn't talk about stuff like that which makes his music definitely more relatable than most rappers. Dudes an inspiration to me.
@Miguel Gaxiola yah still bumb to Cole especially when am in my own thoughts.
Only rapper I like cole world ..
Cole is in league of his own definitely one of the most relatable rappers. He's an inspiration to me and my music.
If you like J cole Check out Irwin Williams as he covers J cole's Ima fool and leave your comments

Cole world. Im just sad sometimes k cole is not Worldwide GOAT
true shit man, every bad mood he brightens it up
Im not saying you wrong but listen to Kota the friend tell me he dont remind you of a old jcole
Alacrity must be talking about Drake
He was borderline poor but he wasn't well off and his white mom had nothing to do with anything if you listened to his music you would know don't say anything if this is the only song you've heard
@DaniyoVEVO No. J Coles Mom Had Two Jobs And Before They Moved To A Bigger House They Were In A Very Small House. Hes Even Said At A Point He Lived In A Trailor. When His Mom Got A Better Job Is When They Moved 2 Forest Hill Drive Which Is The House he Finally Got His Own Room
Agree. #BornSinner
Agree. #BornSinner
Cee Lo ass say Woooh Chile! lol he cray
Im puerto rican idiot we were used as slaves to do your research and dont be calling me the n word
Im saying his life was fed to him on a plate....
How does being white have anything to do with not being at the bottom? I know white people that would kill mufuckas and keep the severed heads as a souvenir. But yea The bottom is a perspective. There are people living off nothing but still have a house so to a bum that wouldn't be the bottom. You gotta put yourself in other peoples shoes
He lived with his white mom who was not poor he had a good life he didnt start anywhere close to the bottom.
Alacrity you don't know him or his life stfu hating ass nigga
drake did start from the bottom loll smh, degrassi was his first big break that lead to rapping before Degrassi , he was not rich so he did "Started from the bottom"
my boy cole will always and still be the best
GEetting famous off degrassi isnt starting from the bottom drake is a bitch Cole is a real rapper and one of the only ones left
j cole and nas are the best
He had started from the bottom before drake!
Deng so they are close to each<3 love 1 another , love you ma
****YOUNG RAPPER***------->>>>I'm not going to preface this message with a bunch of bullshit, I'll keep it simple. You all know what the grind is, I'm on it. You can hate it or love it but at least take a listen. It goes with out saying that you have seen one thousand of these messages. I'm not claiming I'm different, or better than anyone else. Thats for you to decide. I'm a 16 year old with multi-syllabic rhyme schemes and I have mastered flow. I'm open for feedback! YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED.
I'm not one of those people who's going to beg you to view his page and I'm not one of those people that spam you with links. I'm one of those people who deserves more views for what they do. I work hard and I have yet to get what I deserve so please help me out and check the video for my latest single called "Getting Money" just type in Norris Rochelle and click on "Gettin Money" I don't delete comments so please give feedback
Best rapper alive
