J. Cole – For Whom the Bell Tolls Lyrics 8 years ago
In my opinion this song is talking about the visions of dying described later in the album. "I see the rain pouring down, Before my very eyes, Should come as no surprise" Rain is referring to gun shots and it shouldn't be a surprise as he's been seeing it coming. He is questioning if he is ready to die because it is coming soon regardless.
