Things got hard but I knew. You couldn’t tell me shit. Yeah I’m broke, true. I have a degree, true. All my friends have jobs and I don’t. But I still know where I’m going to be. This is what kept me going: In my mind, I was always just one step away. Always so close even though I was actually really far. For the past three years, I’ve been thinking it was a month away. Every month. There never came a point where I thought it wasn’t. When you know you’re going to make it, when you know you’re destined for something and you believe in yourself, you have to keep telling yourself it’s coming. Or else you’ll start to doubt. – J. Cole, the first signee to Jay-Z’s Roc Nation Label, from The Follow Up
