KOD
J. Cole Lyrics

Go, go, go
Aggressively pushing forward and taking action

This is what you call a flip Ten keys from a quarter brick Bentley from his mama's whip K.O.D., he hard as shit
This is a successful drug dealer who has flipped ten keys (10 kilos) of drugs and bought a Bentley with the profit. He is proclaiming his toughness with the acronym K.O.D. (King Overdose).

Wow, niggas been crampin' my style Blowin' my high, they want a reply The number one question is, "How?" How does it feel now that you on? How much you worth? How big is your home? How come you won't get a few features? I think you should? How 'bout I don't? How 'bout you just get the fuck off my dick? How 'bout you listen and never forget? Only gon' say this one time, then I'm dipped Niggas ain't worthy to be on my shit Haven't you heard? I'm as cold as the tip Tip of the iceberg that tipped the Titanic No tip-toein' 'round it, my shit is gigantic It's big as the fuckin' Atlantic, I'm lit, bitch
People are trying to imitate his success and bring him down with their questions and requests. J. Cole tells them to back off and stop bothering him. He is reminding them that his talent is only the tip of the iceberg, and his success is huge, like the Atlantic. He is also reminding them that he is lit like a light bulb and they cannot stop him.

How I grew up, only few would've loved 'Member I got my first view of the blood I'm hangin' out and they shoot up the club My homie got pharmaceutical plug I smoke the drug and it run through my vein I think it's workin' it's numbin' the pain Don't give a fuck and I'm somewhat insane Don't give a fuck and I'm somewhat insane Yeah, at this shit daily, sipped so much Actavis I convinced Actavis that they should pay me If practice made perfect, I'm practice's baby Platinum wrist ridin' in back like Miss Daisy Platinum disc and I own masters, bitch, pay me Y'all niggas trappin' so lacksiyal daisy My nigga sell crack like it's back in the '80s Know a young nigga, he acting'so crazy He serve a few packs and he jack a Mercedes He shoot at the police, he clap at old ladies He don't give a fuck if them crackers gon' hang him Bitches been askin', "Where 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
J. Cole is reminiscing about his upbringing in North Carolina, where he saw violence, crime, and drugs at an early age. He tried drugs and realized their numbing effects, which made him not care about his pain and craziness. He also boasts about his success, owning his masters, and stacking up M's (millions). He criticizes those who are still involved in the drug trade and glorifying it. He also stacks himself up against other rappers like Eminem, saying that his life is too crazy for a movie.

Power, greed Money, Molly, weed Percs, Xannys, lean, fame And the strongest drug of them all And the strongest drug of them all Love
J. Cole lists out the different vices that people fall prey to - power, greed, money, and drugs like Molly, weed, Percs, Xannys, and lean. However, he says that the strongest drug of all is love, which can make people do crazy things.
