J. Cole – Hello Lyrics 8 years ago
After 2 years I find humor in this song.

Cole raps about what he would potentially say to a girl he was once involved with

Hello
Hello
Hello

Knowing that no matter what he says there's no going back as she's moved on wth her life and things have changed after so long they know they can't go back. He wonders what he'd say knowing there's no looking back on it after so long .
Bittersweet indeed. And funny because so well written to actually insist him speaking in the song

This song is one of the darker sadder songs on the album. It addresses loneliness and the depths one's mind can reach, questioning life and ones existence even contemplating suicide.

In Runaway, by J.Cole

His words seem to touch on feelings of what he's expected his life to be at this point, free and on is rise to success in the music industry and all he typical things that come along (ex. Money and models) Cole portrays that he's having a hard time accepted that he's settled down and though his significant other has been there for him he till battles between living are everyday life and making it big in the industry. He feels guilty being he has a great girl but feels trapped in his lifestyle.

Cole also touches on his youth towards the end of the song and how he began to see the ugliness In life. Dating back to Slave times and the conditions of slavery " in chains and powerless, braves souls reduced to cowardness slaving in the baking sun for hours just to see the master creep into the shack where your lady at.. 9 months later got a baby that's not quite what you expected but you refuse to neglect it cause you know your wifey love you thus you refuse to accept it . That's the type if shit that turned my granny light skinned"
Center touches on the reality that many African American families and bloodlines were affected during slavery.


This is one of the more emotional songs on the album as you can feel Coles words and the pain he feels behind them.
