Bitches been askin’, “What have you done lately?”/I stacked a few M’s like my last name was Shady/My life is too crazy, no actor could play me/My life is too crazy, no actor could play me
J. Cole draws heavily from Kendrick Lamar, but flips it with a narrative unique to his upbringing. In the first verse, he’s pushing back on the masses who can’t help but assault him with dumb questions; ones he’s not particularly interested in answering. In the follow-up verse, he hits the eardrum with a little bit of background on where he’s from, and how love has been a guiding force in his life.
