J. Cole Drops New Single “High For Hours”
J. Cole’s not taking any days off for 2017 and returns with more new music after blessing us in December with his already gold fourth album 4 Your Eyez Only. For this Martin Luther King, Jr., holiday, J. Cole gives us something more to think about with his new introspective track “High For Hours.”
Rocking out over this production from Cam O’bi & Elite, The North Carolina MC spits,
“American hypocrisy, oh let me count the ways/ They came here seeking freedom and they end up owning slaves/ Justified it using what Christianity would say/Religion don’t mean shit, there’s too much ego in the way/ That’s why ISIS is a crisis/ But in reality this country do the same shit/ Take a life and call it righteous.”
J. Cole also spoke of his meeting with President Obama, delving deeper with his pen, he asked,
“What’s keeping you from helping niggas out?’/ Well I didn’t say nigga, but you catch my drift/ He look me in my eyes and spoke and he was rather swift/ He broke the issues down and showed me he was well aware/ I got the vibe he was sincere and that the brother cared/ But dawg you in the chair, what’s the hold up?/ He said there’s things that I wanna fix/ But you know this shit nigga, politics/ Don’t stop fighting and don’t stop believing/ You can make the world better for your kids before you leave it.”
