    On She's Mine, Pt.1,

    When he sings with that high voice, is that the perspective of his girl? So the interlude is from her perspective, the verse from his.

    " She gets him, you get me
    She hugs him, you kiss me "

    he sings the 'you get me, you kiss me' in higher voice, looks likes the girl is saying to Cole 'you get me, you kiss me', as she hugs Cole?

    I know you were made for me but
    Darling don't you wait for me
    Cause I can see the promise land but
    I can't do no promising
    I can't do no promising

    g.d. I LOVE IT

    With that said the only thing I'm proud to say I was a father
    Write my story down and if I pass go play it for my daughter when she ready
    And so I'm leaving you this record for your eyes only, don't you ever scratch or disrespect it


    This is what James told him. That James knew he gonna die and wanted Cole to write down his Story and play it for his daughter. Is it all about in the last track pretty much?

    Can't explain how happy I am for not being here when this dropped. Thank you alcohol. Yall went ape s--- J Cole lost on the first listen, then a classic on the 2nd. SMH.
    First of all the album cover is so perfect for the album. Explains the feeling of the album perfectly. Kept popping out during the listens. The album is on some grown man s---, I know we like to have fun, mess around, but this here is real life mixed with great production. Bruh we can act tough all we want, but when you with the one you'll do anything for your lady. Some people get there some never do. Folding clothes actually got me grooving. I think the album has a little bit of everything, bangers, ballads, storytelling and it still tells a whole story.
    Cole's emotion is his go to move and he delivered big time. I don't like to write along post so I'll end it here.
    Shoutout to @LondonSimba for putting the best synopsis of the album. You put everything I was thinking in words. Salute
    f--- Tiller for that Exchange song, but I guess it will always be a deja vu hearing Deja Vu (genius title)

    He is also telling the daughter not to ever scratch or disrespect the cd cause it is about her father

    So pretty much, James was the one that told Cole the title "4 Yours eyes only" back in the days.

    So pretty much this album is about his friend James, (And Shes mine pt 1 and 2 about Cole) if we see in that perspective. (I have spend too much time on the last track so I forgot the rest haha)
