I came from the bottom, now I'm climbin’ the way
Early in the morning, dreams on my mind
Respect over clout, that’s how I move
Stay true to the path, never follow the crowd
No need to flex, my worth ain’t in gold
Dream big, even when the world says no
I rap for the ones who been told they can’t

Love Yours Lyrics

by J. Cole

I came from the bottom, now I’m climbin’ the way,
Every setback I had just molded the day.
No diamonds on my wrist, but I shine when I speak,
Truth in my lines, every bar is unique.

Early in the morning, dreams on my mind,
Clock ticking fast, can’t fall behind.
Books in my bag, hustle in my veins,
Runnin’ on purpose, not chasin’ fame.

Respect over clout, that’s how I move,
Every failure I faced just helped me improve.
Got scars, not shame — they show where I’ve been,
Lessons in losses, still I win.

Stay true to the path, never follow the crowd,
Head up, heart strong, say my goals out loud.
They doubted the vision, now they start to believe,
Patience and grind, that’s how I achieve.

No need to flex, my worth ain’t in gold,
I’m rich in my values, wise and bold.
Kindness is king, and the crown is light,
I walk with peace, still ready to fight.

Dream big, even when the world says no,
Plant seeds now, watch the future grow.
Hard work and hope — that’s my fuel,
Real power is knowin’ that I rule.

I rap for the ones who been told they can’t,
For the quiet kids, and those who rant.
Your voice has weight, your truth has spark,
Light up the world, leave a mark.
