Closing in on the final tracks of the 2014 Forest Hills Drive project, Cole reflects on the decisions he’s made in life and tries to make them right, now knowing how much people believe in him and look up to him. He expresses gratitude towards his girlfriend and his mother, apologizing to his mom and recognizing that his girl believes in him.
The second verse isn’t quite as nostalgic. Cole switches tones and shows off, using wordplay. He brags about his rap skills, possibly showing he hasn’t fully grasped everything he needs to know in life, but it’s starting to come together before the final track. Cole plays with two sides of his own narrative—at first, appreciating and recognizing the people that helped him succeed, and then, showing off the very skills that got him to where he is today.
This song was nominated for a Grammy in 2016, for Best Rap Performance.
