J Cole- Baton Rouge Forest Hills Drive Tour: Love Yourz

This video is really special to me. Cole begins by speaking on how money doesn't make you happy, but rather love does. Then he performs my favorite song he's ever made, Love Yourz. Keep in mind I've really listened to over 200 of his songs and songs he's featured on. Last night, after almost 5 years of listening to Cole, I finally got to see him up close. He signed my dollar...... I've got a dollar and a dream. Now for my long side note only true ColeFam will read. When I was 15 years old, I was lost. I was lost and I felt alone, and I wanted money. I thought money would make me happy, and I thought fame would make me happy. I would tell everyone I wanted to be a talk show host when I was older, because I was selfish. I just wanted to be famous, and have money, and I didn't care about anyone or anything else. During this low time of my life, I fell in love with J. Cole's music. Something about him seemed so real and genuine. I heard the Warm Up and I knew he was the truth, as corny as that may sound. His music helped keep me sane in a time when I had suicidal thoughts, a time when I felt alone I felt I could relate to Cole. Till I was 11 I had a single mother, I was half white and half black, we were broke growing up, and though we were good once I was 16 I couldn't see past the past. I couldn't forgive and I couldn't love the way I needed to love. I had yet to find God and because of this I know He helped me stay sane on the way with J. Cole's music. So when he speaks about money I now know that a man who loves money, never has enough -Ecclesiastes 5:10. I now know that love really does rule the world, and God is love. This song Love Yourz is so special to me, because I can relate. When I first heard it the first verse made me cry just thinking of the hard times growing up and how I didn't appreciate all I had. My mom loved me, my sisters loved me, my grandma loved me, my dad loved me, God loved me! Though times were rough and times were hard, it always could have been worse. We had love and we had each other and looking back now I know that was enough. The first half of this video was recorded by my sister while Cole was talking, as I was to the left of her just staring at him really engaged in what he was speaking. You can hear when he asks why the billionaire was unhappy I answer "Jesus" because though Cole's music did help me through a dark time, it did not fill that whole that Jesus did and give me eternal joy. I've only been to 4 concerts my entire life, Cheetah Girls when I was 10, Bow Wow when I was 11, and Cole. I got saved during the summer of 2013 and ever since then my life has not been the same. Last year I saw Cole for the first time at UNT thanks to about 6 different people. Really thanks to everyone who's walked across my path on this journey of life. That day was so great and I wasn't even close to him, I was so happy just to be at a Cole concert for only $25! To be in his vicinity, in the same building as him satisfied me! Shout out to Cole for doing this small venue in BR because tickets were only $40, and waiting all day was well well worth the wait. My sister and I drove from Tyler, Texas to Baton Rouge, Louisiana using our student loan money that Cole loves to preach about oh so much because it was worth it. We got to the venue at 11am and waited until 8pm where we were still the first in line and front row. Everything happens for a reason, and I know God planned all of this perfectly. With that being said.. I am a new creation. The old is gone, the new has come. This will be my last video on this channel.. "Hobo Dia" will now be my new youtube channel. Cole, thank you for being so genuine. Thank you for caring about your fans. Thank you for being so real. That was me in the middle in the front row that gave you the hobo sweater, and to clear things up, it does mean "heaven is my home." because here on our Earthly tent we still long to spend eternity with our father at home in Heaven, so as we move around on this fleshly planet, we are homeless that wander.. making us all, Hobos.
