[Intro]
One night
When me and my mom was about to go to bed
All the doors was locked
Then when I had fell asleep
My mom had heard three gun shots
It was to my cousin, his name was Rod
The one that came to pick me up
He had been shot right through the face, right in the neck
And he got shot right in the stomach[Chorus]
I put my hand to the sky, I sing
Grateful for the blessings you bring
Thank you for the ones I love
Forgive me for the times I was
Down and confused, I know
What I reap is what I will sow
Once again I find myself
Back with you from my hell
All I ever wanted was to hear them bitches holler back
Get some money plus respect and now look, I got all of that
All I wanna do is see my granny on the other side
All I wanna do is kill the man that made my momma cry
All I wanna do is touch a platinum plaque and celebrate
All I wanna do is keep my niggas out the yellow tape
All I wanna do is see my granny on the other side
All I wanna do is kill the man that made my momma cry

[Verse]
Right now I'm starin' out the window of my Range and contemplating, am I sane?
Have I sacrificed for fame?
My occupation's on my brain
Thought that I could change it all if I had change
But the niggas that I came up with way back is still the same
I be tryna give 'em game like Santa did when Christmas came
They be listenin' but it's clear to me they did not hear a thing
It go in one ear and out the other like a bullet out the muzzle of a pistol shot by brothers standin' point-blank range
Niggas bang in the Ville, I always thought that shit was strange
How you claim blood or cuz when that was just a LA thing?
I don't mean no disrespect towards your set, no, I'm just sayin'
That it seem like for acceptance niggas will do anything
Niggas will rep any gang, niggas will bust any head
Niggas will risk everything, point him out and then he dead
Shootin' up where his granny live, "blaow, blaow!", his granny duck
He don't give a fuck, he's on Henny and Xanny'd up
Blowin' Tammy up, bitch, when you gon' give them panties up?
He gon' plant a seed, but best believe he ain't man enough
Just because yo' dick can spray semen, it don't mean that you ready to let go of yo' childish ways
The results are deadly
Because that child will suffer and that's what can most affect me
The little girl I met this past summer said, "Don't forget me"
I won't forget you, how could I with all you went through?
A bullet hit yo' cousin in Temple while he was with you
And while you was talkin', I was tearin' up, where's the tissue?
If you was my sister then I would kiss you and tell you that I'm sorry for the pain you had to live through
I know I'm blessed because yo' stress is realer than anything I done been through

[Chorus]
I put my hand to the sky, I sing
Grateful for the blessings you bring
Thank you for the ones I love
Forgive me for the times I was
Down and confused, I know
What I reap is what I will sow
Once again I find myself
Back with you from my hell
All I ever wanted was to hear them bitches holler back
Get some money plus respect and now look, I got all of that
All I wanna do is see my granny on the other side
All I wanna do is kill the man that made my momma cry
All I wanna do is touch a platinum plaque and celebrate
All I wanna do is keep my niggas out the yellow tape
All I wanna do is see my granny on the other side
All I wanna do is kill the man that made my momma cry

[Outro]
It's not that big
Well at least, um
God had saved him 'cause he still alive
So why do y'all think that bad stuff happen?
Like why can't the world just be all nice things?
Because God is tryna, um
Warn-warn us or teach us a lesson that we need to learn
Or He's tryna warn us of He's comin' back to, um, see us and take us home and redo the world
He's comin' back to, um, have us be His children and for us to see Him for the first time so we can rejoice with Him and have our time
And after we do that, He's gonna restart the world
K.O.D
Choose wisely!

In the song window pain by J Cole, the type of irony used in the song is situational irony. Situational irony is defined as when the opposite of what is expected happens. For example, situational irony can be seen in the song window pain when J. Cole says “Thought that I could change it all if I had change, but the niggas that I came up with way back is still the same”, “They be listenin' but it's clear to me they did not hear a thing”. What J. Cole meant by this quote was that he thought that if he changed, the things around him would also change. Unfortunately, the scenario he had hoped for did not come true, as the people he had also grown up with long before did not change. Finally, in the last quoted verse what he talks about is that he always talks to these people but he noticed that although it seemed like they were listening, they were not actually paying attention to him.  In the end, what this paragraph talks about is the type of irony used in the song window pain by J. Cole and the meaning behind it.

Padlet #2 - Figurative language
J. Cole uses a couple of figurative language such as simile, allusion, paradox, as well as onomatopoeia in the lyrics of his song, Window Pain.

For example, he uses simile in comparing himself to Santa when he says "I be tryna give 'em game like Santa did when Christmas came".

Cole later on in the lyrics uses onomatopoeia when he said "Shootin' up where his granny live, "blaow, blaow!" describing a scene and uses gunshot sounds to make the audience imagine the scene vividly.

Cole uses paradox in his lyrics when he said "My occupation's on my brain" which means that he is occupied or focused on his work.

Lastly, Cole uses the reference in his lyrics, "What I reap is what I sow" which is an example of allusion because it is an indirect reference to the scripture "For whatever a person is sowing, this he will also reap" (NWT Bible, Gal. 6.7).
