    Yeah, I wanna tell the truth to you
    I wanna talk about my days as a youth to you
    Exposing you to all my demons and the reasons I'm this way
    I would like to paint a picture, but it'll take more than a day
    It would take more than some years to get all over all my fears
    Preventing me from letting you see all of me perfectly clear
    The same wall that's stopping me from letting go and shedding tears
    From the lack of having father, and the passing of my peers

    :whew:

    Playing this album on repeat since it released, and every listen I hear even more subtle things and the album becomes better and better.

    Y'all think the song Deja Vu is called that cause it's basically the same concept as Dreams? But this time he doesn't go psycho on her man lol

    It would be dope if Cole did a visual for the entire album. Like something without a high budget, but captures all the songs well on film. Like a visionz of home 30 min type vid for the whole album.

    it annoys me because on the Ville Mentality outro, it sounds like Noname is about to spit a verse. That kid sounds just like her..

    If I should die Lord this here is my will
    
Reincarnate a n----- send me right back to the Ville
Let me relive my younger days just once again
Reenact my memories from every friend to every sin
Keeping demons buried in my closet
    
But yet I put in work like a deposit on my bank account

    My eyes lit while I think about my childhood now Im blanking out

    Those were truly my best days

    The only thing I had to stress was how the h--- to get laid

    Gradually turn into me stressin’ how the h--- to get paid

    Been making songs so long, now how the h--- they get played...

    Cole TRILLA than everybody. f--- it, I said it!

    " The upshot of Cole being such a voracious student of his medium is that he gets better with every release. Many major-label rap catalogues open on a great release and spend a decade straining to recapture the magic, to diminishing returns, but J. Cole started out on the schlocky commercial instincts of Cole World (The Sideline Story), learned how to make great singles with Born Sinner, grasped the structure of great albums with 2014 Forest Hills Drive, and pulled together the wisdom and range to populate one of his own with 4 Your Eyez Only. "

    funny how metacritic says the exact opposite of what my quote just said
    CW - 75 ; Born Sinner - 71 ; FHD - 67

    LOL critics :colerly:
