Cole was aware of his potential, but he never knew he’d make it this far. That’s a testament to his skill.

To regurgitate something is to throw it back up. Cole’s rhymes are so good, other artists hear his music and try to use his lines/flow in their own work.

‘'God, goddamn’‘ sounds a lot like Schoolboy Q’s adlib on the song ’’M.A.A.D City'‘ by Kendrick Lamar. Logic is appreciating Kendrick’s work saying he fucks with it regularly.

These two lines are a double entendre:

  1. “Ye” is a nod to Kanye West.
  2. This line insinuates that he’s lost his mind to coke as “yay” is slang for cocaine, but also referencing the times that he gets together with Kanye and they party so hard they tend to lose their minds and rational sense to drugs and/or alcohol.
