J. Cole’s Eyez documentary stirred a lot of controversy with two unreleased tracks featured in the 40-minute piece, “False Prophets” and “Everybody Dies.” While artists like Lil Yachty and Lil Uzi Vert appear to be the targets on “Everybody Dies,” many feel Kanye West and Wale were the subjects of Cole’s “False Prophets.” With the first verse filled with various references to Yeezus, listeners across social media felt the second verse was directed at Wale.
“And I know he so bitter he can’t see his own blessings/Goddamn, ni**a, you too blind to see you got fans, ni**a/And a platform to make a classic rap song/To change a ni**a life, but you too anxious living’ life,” raps J. Cole. “Always worried ‘bout the critics who ain’t ever f**kin’ did it/I write what’s in my heart, don’t give a f**k who f**kin’ with it/But in a sense I can relate, the need to be great/Turns into an obsession keeps a ni**a up late.”
Less than 48 hours after the release of Cole World’s much talked about documentary, Wale decides to respond with music. Produced by Jake One, Folarin expresses his thoughts on Cole’s subliminals and their past friendship on “Groundhog’s Day.”
