Yeah, I got some niggas that still owe me an apology/I’ma be the bigger man just like I always be/Eventually but right now that’s hard for me/I’m dreaming violent, I can’t tolerate disloyalty
from The Cut Off lyrics by J. Cole
A steady and swift boom-bap has Cole hitting his stride. The melancholy melodies, however, are a reminder to not overexert himself and let the narrative unfold naturally. At this point in his life, he’s had to distance himself from acquaintances because their demands were too much. His success has brought out the heathen in them, and the thought is making him feel isolated and lonely.
