“If they don’t know your dreams then they can’t shoot ‘em down”

when I hear this I think he's saying if you work in silence then they can't stop you

“One thing about your demons, they bound to catch up one day, I’d rather see you stand up and face ‘em than run away, I understand this message is not the coolest to say, but if you down to try it, I know of a better way, meditate”

I like this lyric because it shows that you do not need to be afraid of your problems, instead, you should face them

J. Cole is so inspiring because he was just a normal kid once, and then climbed his way to the top and became one of the greatest rappers in history. So if someone from the bottom can reach the top, so can I.

I am very influenced by the song mainly for the beat, the music, and of course the lyrics. I like listening to this song whenever I'm in a good mood, I even have it on my playlist. I feel like this one song alone can bring a bunch of people together and just vibe with the song because it's that good, this is why I chose this song because it brings people together.

The reason why J.Cole inspired me was because that he was one of the very few people that brought Hip-Hop to a hole new level. He brought old hip hop and new hip hop together and made it good, I want to do that one day as well. If someone can grow up poor and then make it from the bottom to the top then so can I, J.Cole inspired me through hip hop and I inspire to learn more about hip hop.

The modern form of graffiti or “graff” began before hip-hop music and dance, but it quickly became a part of the culture as many graffiti artists grew up in the same area as other hip-hop artists. Graffiti often represents rebellion, so it is often the visual language of the unheard or disenfranchised. Graffiti can tell you a lot about the people, politics, subcultures, counter-cultures, and socio-economics of an area.
