Ok, so the album begins as J Cole saying "he doesn't think he wants to live anymore". But as the story goes on he meets a girl on the song titled Deja Vu. They fall in love ( She's mine part 1). As the album goes deeper, Cole realizes his friends are dying in the streets and he keeps selling drugs. Then he has a daughter (She's mines part 2). On the last song J Cole is rapping about his daughter saying "I'm sorry but if you're hearing this album I am dead-the life in the streets got to me".That's when I realized something! The album isn't directly about J.Cole, it's about his friend.
J Cole wasn't in the streets selling drugs, he got out. His friend was the one rapping on the last song to his own daughter. Then on the last verse of the last song J Cole himself appear's on the track to talk to his friends daughter himself. He tells her that her dad died because of his life in the streets but he still was a good person. Now here's what's crazy! That means the entire album is technically talking about his friends life-but it's still J Cole's life. Everything that happens to his friend technically happens to J Cole as well. Their life parallel's one another. They both meet a girl and they both have a daughter. But in the end J Cole's friend dies as a result of his life in the streets. J Cole doesn't die, he lives on to share his friend's story for his daughter eyes only. In-closing, the question has to be asked again.
Is this how y'all heard J Cole new album?? If not....listen to it again...
