If the police run up on me I ain't stopping for their ass
Boy you know my L’s dirty, if they stop me I’m goin to jail surely

from J. Cole – Before I’m Gone Lyrics on Rap Genius

J. Cole’s license was suspended in New York before he got signed. As soon as he got the text that he was being signed to Jay-Z, he got pulled over and spent a night in jail for driving with a suspended license, as explained on the interlude on “Cole World: The Sideline Story.”
