The languange is simple and informal. It's the language that you would hear in a ghetto, which is a sociolect of, mainly, black people.

Love yours
Love yours
No such thing

No such thing as a life that's better than yours
No such thing as a life that's better than yours
No such thing as a life that's better than yours
No such thing, no such thing

Heart beatin' fast, let a nigga know that he alive
Fake niggas, mad snakes
Snakes in the grass let a nigga know that he arrived
Don't be sleepin' on your level cause it's beauty in the struggle nigga
Goes for all y'all
It's beauty in the struggle nigga
(Let me explain)
It's beauty in the struggle, ugliness in the success
Hear my words or listen to my signal of distress
I grew up in the city and though some times we had less
Compared to some of my niggas down the block
Man, we were blessed
And life can't be no fairytale, no once upon a time
But I be God damned if a nigga don't be tryin'
So tell me mama please why you be drinking all the time?
Does all the pain he brought you still linger in your mind?
Cause pain still lingers on mine
On the road to riches listen this is what you'll find
The good news is nigga you came a long way
The bad news is nigga you went the wrong way
Think being broke was better

No such thing as a life that's better than yours
No such thing as a life that's better than yours
No such thing as a life that's better than yours
No such thing, no such thing

For what's money without happiness?
Or hard times without the people you love
Though I'm not sure what's 'bout to happen next
I asked for strength from the Lord up above
Cause I've been strong so far
But I can feel my grip loosening
Quick, do something before you lose it for good
Get it back and use it for good
And touch the people how you did like before
I'm tired of living with demons
Cause they always inviting more
Think being broke was better
Now I don't mean that phrase with no disrespect
To all my niggas out there living in debt
Cashing minimal checks
Turn on the TV see a nigga Rolex
And fantasize about a life with no stress
I mean this shit sincerely
And that's a nigga who was once in your shoes
Living with nothin' to lose
I hope one day you hear me
Always gon' be a bigger house somewhere, but nigga feel me
Long as the people in that motherfucker love you dearly
Always gon' be a whip that's better than the one you got
Always gon' be some clothes
That's fresher than the ones you rock
Always gon' be a bitch that's badder out there on the tours
But you ain't never gon' be happy till you love yours

No such thing as a life that's better than yours
No such thing as a life that's better than yours
No such thing as a life that's better than yours
No such thing, no such thing

Heart beatin' fast, let a nigga know that he alive
Fake niggas, mad snakes
Snakes in the grass let a nigga know that he arrive

As said, the song is about appreacting your life, therefore he comes with examples of the situations he's been through at the times when he had less.

Example: "I grew up in the city and though some times we had less
Compared to some of my niggas down the block
Man, we were blessed"

Here, he tells us to appreciate everything, because "there's beauty in the struggle", and of course because some have it worse.

J. Cole sings about every individual's lives, by taking starting point of his own life and experiences. As the title of the song says: "Love yours", he interprets people to love their own life, instead of comparing it to others.

Cole was born in West Germany in 1985, but grew up in North Carolina. Cole's father left him, his mother and his younger brother back in Germany, which caused the family to move to the U.S to get a fresh start. But they had difficulties making ends meet, taking multiple jobs and living in trailer parks.

Eventually, his mother got married, and they relocated to a nicer house. When Cole had left for college, the family crumbled as the step-father had become abusive.

When the marriage ended, Cole's mother became addicted to drugs under the influence of her boyfriend.
