The Warm Up’s definitely one of my favorite mixtapes.
“Politicians holl’n ‘bout problems but I ain’t gon’ vote,
Keep talkin’ ‘bout change; still we floatin’ in the same old boat,
So tell me how I’m supposed to feel when the president spoke,
When he ain’t never had to struggle, ain’t never been broke,
Ain’t even roll through the ghetto, ain’t never been close-
Trustin’ this government’s like trustin’ the devil in oath,
A rebel with quotes”
-J. Cole
That’s my favorite bit from this song, I think I actually posted the lyrics on my Tumblr a while back too haha.
Can’t get the beat from J. Cole’s “I Get Up” out of my head.
Politicians hollerin’ ‘bout problems but I ain’t gon’ vote
He talkin’ ‘bout change still we floatin’ in the same old boat
So tell me how I’m supposed to feel what the President spoke?
When he ain’t never had to struggle, ain’t never been broke
Ain’t even rolled through the ghetto, ain’t never been close
Trusting this government like trusting the devil in oath
J. Cole is one of the only new rap cats that I actually like.
