Cole is telling a story that reflects James McMillan Jr., a friend viciously murdered when Cole was younger. вЂњMy worst fear is one day that you come home from school and see your father face while hearing вЂ™bout tragedy on news I got the strangest feeling your daddy gonna lose his life soon and sadly if youвЂ™re listening now it must mean itвЂ™s true.вЂќ The most chilling lyrics on this album stood out as Nina is brought up again in the title track, вЂњ4 Your Eyez Only.вЂќ Cole retelling a story about his best friend to the friendвЂ™s daughter, Nina, whom was left behind when he was killed. With this in mind, it could be interpreted as J. вЂњImmortalвЂќ was the story of the daily obligations this young man sought, and the fourth track, вЂњVille Mentality,вЂќ with the narration of a young girl exclaiming when she gets mad, she wants her dad back. It makes sense, that the reference to the вЂњbellsвЂќ in the first track were funeral bells. It is an upbeat (possible) retelling of the death of one of ColeвЂ™s friends. вЂњChangeвЂќ is the track that sets the album forward. Cole is talking about is undetermined, but it is apparently that the old, heartfelt J. ColeвЂ™s appreciation for loving the women in his life. Cole couldnвЂ™t capitalize on what was presented. When a raid was ordered and nothing was found except a recording studio, there was no chance J. The stigma was granted when the neighbors actually reportedly called the police for suspicion of drug-related activities at the house. The issue of racism is touched upon within this song, as the lyrics вЂњThe neighbors think IвЂ™m selling dopeвЂќ is repeated throughout. Cole had purchased a place in North Carolina where it is deemed a вЂњsafe havenвЂќ for any Dreamville artists and producers. The closest to a true story that can be confirmed is found within the lyrics of вЂњNeighborsвЂќ as J. There are several clues, but the fact that the album is featureless provides no direct access into the mind of J. ColeвЂ™s own life, but possibly of a friend or family member. This is what leads many of those in the media to pick this album apart. Death is mentioned several times within these lyrics, but it only seems to be the beginning. The story starts off with a 17-year-old boy in the streets of a place unsaid, trying to make it out of the hood in which he was raised. вЂњImmortalвЂќ tells the beginning of the story, with details, and the explicitness seems more than necessary. The album continues with вЂњImmortal,вЂќ straying away from the jazz background music. By setting the tone with a bit of each aspect of the album, it was genius of the rapper to introduce 42 more minutes of lyrics with this foreshadowing song.

Cole move that shows him not being able to handle his own mind anymore, and with вЂњthe bells getting louder,вЂќ there is not chance that it will be silenced during this album. вЂњFor Whom the Bell TollsвЂќ starts off the album, and from what it can be interpreted, it is a plea for help. Cole fan вЂњget in their feels,вЂќ it makes the listener want to nominate him for the вЂњWhat famous person would you like to eat dinner with for a nightвЂќ spot.ДЇrom the first song, we hear a convergence of picking up where he left off, and beginning to tell his story. вЂњ4 Your Eyez OnlyвЂќ does more than make a J. Cole through a time deeper than any album could ever explain. But is this album really about his life? It seems to be the question of the week.Д«efore our eyes, there is yet another album that tells a story longer than our own, and through every lyric that is recited in our space, we find ourselves taking a walk with J. Cole thought it would finally be time to let us back into his world. Coming down from his last album, вЂњ2014 Forest Hills Drive,вЂќ J. With a new album dropped last Friday, Christmas came early for anyone who loves his music.
