J. Cole - Return Of Simba Lyrics
In my freshest Js, I ain’t slept in days
Girl, you gon’ make me late undressin’ me
Know you ain’t seen me since yesterday
But, see, I got a date with destiny
‘Cause this the summer that our life change
I looked around at all his nice things
Told him, “Nigga, you already know it”
Bitch, I’m the man of the year
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Straight through this bitch (Yeah)
Bitch, I’m the man of the year
What you ‘sposed to do when the OG niggas don’t get it?
Lost what was once theirs but they won’t quit it
Lemme show you how to move in a room
Full of dudes that don’t got a fuckin’ clue how to do this
Prolly worked with Cube, so to them, this a Rubik
My President is black, but my jeweler’s still Jewish
So you know it cost, he makin’ a killin’ off me
Red diamonds he designin’ got me shinin’
Spotlight cover my body, my chain blindin’
A cop light runner, they wanna but can’t find him
Me and Hovi Hov, out on the same island
Took the whip to the other side of Jamaica
Seen how he was livin’, said “I gotta get my weight up”
Formulated my plan, motivated by dreams
Parlayed wit’ my mans, motivated my team
Ced said, “Look, my niggas, we got a foot in”
Bein’ good is good, that’ll get you Drew Gooden
But me, I want Jordan numbers, LeBron footin’
Can’t guard me, Vince Lombardi, John Wooden
Garbage? Hardly, you niggas silly like Chris Farley
So like him, you’ll be gone too early
Mama hands together like 6:30
And Cole keep a thick bitch I like to call Big Shirley
All my ’90s niggas is gon’ get it
18 and under, that’s prolly gon’ take a minute
I’ma be here for a while, none of these clowns can hurt me
I’ma be here for a while, none of these clowns can hurt me
At the time of this rhyme, five years ’til I know thirty
Cole World in the summer brings snow flurries
This next shit is in no way to boast
But my city love breakfast, ’cause niggas had toast early
Coach had us doin’ jumpin’ jacks
Then sent us to the water fountain after runnin’ laps
My nigga went and grabbed his bookbag, threw it on his back
And brought it to me just to show me he was fuckin’ strapped
We was twelve years old, how was we to know better?
I analyzed his life and see that he was so set up
Live by the trigger, ’cause no father figure
Means you don’t got a nigga comin’ ’round to guide a nigga
All you got is mama bringin’ home these rotten niggas
Blowin’ reefers, all the teachers do is ride a nigga
So this is who I speak fo’
To give the young niggas somethin’ they could reach fo’
You better dream, boy
Yeah, I stunt, but I’m a li’l more realer
When it come from the heart, don’t it feel mo’ iller?
Watch my flow go bananas, I’m a li’l gorilla
So pardon me, man, y’all gon’ have to pardon me
They say I rep that ‘Ville too much, but that shit just a part of me
It’s flowin’ out through my arteries, who hard as me? You JV, I’m varsity
No field trip, ain’t hard to see, this real shit, you R&B
Seen a movie wit’ yo’ bitch in it, and listen it, was starrin’ me
(Woo!) That boy Simba crazy
Hotter that Ike Turner temper, you December, maybe
And though you wish me well, I know deep down you wish I’d fail
It’s Judgment Day, I’m here to give you pussy niggas hell
And some food for thought, I can serve a plate
Wit’ dessert to take, wit’ dessert to take
Yeah, I heard the hate, but the wait is fuckin’ over
It’s like I’m fuckin’ Oprah, well worth the wait
Maybe over your head, I’m ahead of my time
Niggas scared of my future, I know they dreadin’ my prime
‘Cause I only made classics, now what that take? Timing
Cole under pressure, what that make? Diamonds
(Diamonds, diamonds, diamonds, diamonds..)

This shit sped up and the pitch is raised
1/1/2020

I look around at all these nice things, told him nigga you already know it
been a fan of cole since day 1 if you know all his old song that doesn't appear on the mixtapes you a real elite fan
In my freshest jayz I haven't slept in days. What you supposed to do when the Old GANGSTERS don't get it.
Anyone know what sample that is in the instrumental
This ain’t even J cole🥴

“Mama hands together like 6:30.” 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Man his flow on here was so articulately lyrical. Cole under pressure so that make? Diamonds?! Pshh 🔥
Simba brother here actully more like a family meember or mabye a gang mamber
Has anybody found what mixtape this was on? I haven’t found it yet been listening to this song for years
Might be one of the hottest beats of the 2010s. Honestly. Have you heard anything like this anywhere else?? 🤔🤔🤔
This song will always touch my spirit I get the chills tapping this shit. He murdered this. Bring me back to my kid years
Whenever i sleep like 3hrs or less and i got work the next day i just think of that line "in my freshest jayz i aint slept in days" and it motivates me to get out of bed
After hearing this I knew this dude was gonna be a problem. These bars still smokin in 2019!
One day, Simba, the sun will set on my time here, and will rise upon you as the new king
And this will all be mine?
EVERYTHING
Everything the light touches
[Intro]
In my freshest J's, I ain’t slept in days
Girl, you gonna make me late undressing me
Know you ain’t seen me since yesterday
But, see, I got a date with destiny
Cause this the summer that our life change
Hov asked me, “Is you ready for it?”
I looked around at all his nice things
Told him, “Nigga, you already know it”
Bitch, I’m the man of the year
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Straight through this bitch
Bitch, I’m the man of the year
[Verse]
What you ‘sposed to do when the OG niggas don’t get it?
Lost what was once theirs but they won’t quit it
Homie, it’s a new era, middle finger to the suit-wearers
Lemme show you how to move in a room
Full of dudes that don’t got a fuckin’ clue how to do this
Prolly worked with Cube, so to them, this a Rubik
My President is black, but my jeweler’s still Jewish
So you know it cost, he makin’ a killing off me
Red diamonds he designing got me shining
Spotlight cover my body, my chain blinding
A cop light runner, they wanna but can’t find him
Me and Hovi Hov, out on the same island
Took the whip to the other side of Jamaica
Seen how he was living, said “I gotta get my weight up”

Parlayed with my mans, motivated my team
Ced said, “Look, my niggas, we got a foot in”

And Cole keep a thick bitch I like to call Big Shirley
All my ’90s niggas is gon’ get it

I’mma be here for a while, none of these clowns can hurt me
I’mma be here for a while, none of these clowns can hurt me

He was a beast tonight
Best Cole song ever, lets be real... we all want old Cole back... FNL, The Warm Up, and Born Sinner were his best works.
@J S
He don't want the top no more. He was more hungry when he was younger.
whos here for fousey and not j cole
2019 😤😤🤧😈
It’s like I’m fucking Oprah, well worth the wait/ WEIGHT damn Cole❤️🔥🔥🔥
🔥🔥
2019... who's here

🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
“Being good is good that’ll get you Drew Gooden”
2050 who here ?
I wish Cole would go back to this version man.
Mariano Abundiz factssssss
Mariano Abundiz “things change people change”
@Mariano Abundiz
He could but what will y'all say
" Ahhh man this song slow and boring "
Everybody like trap music cause that's what's hot now 🙄
@Sparta Lee I suppose the majority of today's listeners would say that. I've always liked this early form of J. Cole though. Haven't really been a fan of his newer music.
@Cody Rhodes yeah you're right about that. Just look at Kanye. He definitely changed.
🔥🔥👽👽🔥🔥
First Cole song I heard 🔥🔥🔥🔥 this put me on
Why aint this song on spotify yall?
@Jay Hazel
Cause Spotify wasn't a thing yet. Plus he's trying to get a hold of his songs and music videos up. ( Twitter page )
Should’ve been on the new lion king soundtrack
J.Cole is the best
Pressure Don't bother me. Everyone has a plan until they Get 200 lbs focused On Their Shin Bone. I'm okay
"Mama's hands together like 6:30" 🔥🔥
I miss this j cole— his new stuff is good but This is on another level!! And he sounds so young!
The problem I have with YouTube is that unless it was uploaded by the artist or vevo, there's always some kind of destortion because of the copyright bs
"uploaded by Lil Wayne"
Man its 2019 and when he dropped this I just knew cole was gonna be next.
Finally Turned 19 and now I Get It
Being king is over rated
This would be the hardest walk out song!
Who still bumping this retro Cole. I truly appreciate how he still the same dude now even though he got all the success
Great song but never dissrespec Chris farley my bro
"Imma be here for a while.. None of these clowns can hurt me.. " My motivation fuel lines for everyday..
I forgot this gem, but when I saw the new Lion King, and I heard Simba repeat those words it clicked. I’m back and even more obsessed.
Who's here after watching the new Lion King??
2019 we here
Cole should’ve played Simba instead of Donald Glover
Young Simba
Idk why but the new lion king made me think of this😂🔥
Same man when Mufasa died I just imagined this song and was like oh yeah that boy Simba coming back harder than ever
Everybody eats B first thought that came to mind lol
obviously because its called "the return of simba" and the Lion King is about Simba....
@ᴀ x ᴏ ʟ ᴏ ᴛ ʟ Duh!! lol
That movie was weak, nothing like that old school simba.
Who here after watching The Lion King?
Hector Omar Reyes same
Was here before
Literally watched it today , it was cool bruh🤯😖🔥
The voice acting was lame in that new one. I felt more emotion coming from the walls of the movie theater.
Fouseyyy
This should be in da new movie real talk
Real cole fans know this is NOT the real version
The new lion king movie brought me back to the 3 simba songs he made. Damn this brought back memories
everything the light touches is his kingdom!cole is a lyrical genius from mixtape to album only a real cole fan would understand that!
Creative
Any real cole fans still kiccin it here
All these faggots care about being fans lol
I know he's young here but this hella doesn't sound like him
It sounds just like him.
It sounds like it's pitched up (or sped up) from the original
Yea it's definitely sped up, this is the original https://youtu.be/0mRqrR-L-g0
@Slim good lookin my guy cause ingot the sound cloud version and I knew something was off
@elnino heroe listen to the other video
His is the future king of hip hop
https://www.datpiff.com/Jordan-Emanuel-Notarized-Part-1-mixtape.922073.html SINCERELY 777
All these years later and still one of Coles best songs.
FouseyTube
Anyone have a link for a version of this song that isn't sped up?
cole ate this song up like bbq chicken
Ahhh memories...
you gay fuck
🔥🔥🔥🔥
It's like I'm fucking Oprah, well worth the weight!!!! That line is fire
This shit sparks my soul and motivates me; one of my go to songs from one of the greatest to ever do it 🔥 Blessings and good vibes to all
2019 squad, wya?
Rowlan yes
