“P” is of course short for penis, as being penis-slapped on the forehead is surely a fantasy of most women. The cap for the Phillies, their baseball team, sports a P as their logo, which literally marks a “P” on someone’s head.

And it still works if Sean puts his “D” up on her head; it’ll appear as if she reps Detroit!

“Long hair, don’t care” is a phrase that refers to someone who has allowed their hair to grow, possibly more so than is acceptable or associated with their character.

This may also allude to a girl “letting her hair down” which is a phrase meaning: to allow yourself to behave much more freely than usual and enjoy yourself.

Rapunzel (pictured below) is a character from the German fairy tale of the same name. A popular quote from the works is, “Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair”.

On his debut album Cole was under pressure from the record label to release hit singles, and as a result he began to lose his creative artistry. On the Born Sinner cut “Rich Niggaz”, he realizes his music had suffered as a result:

It’s like Sony signed Basquiat
He gave it all he got, and now the nigga don’t paint the same, damn

Now on 2014 FHD Cole finally feels free from the pressures and is in a good space to create the music that he wants. This allows him to paint vivid pictures through his words for the listener to visualize. Whether you like it or not is irrelevant, as there’s not a right way to create art. He is the master of his words and can finally do it his own way.

Cole begins this verse by mentioning famous women who were respected and looked upon as role models during his younger years in the 90’s.

Lisa Bonet is an actress most known for her role as Denise Huxtable in The Cosby Show. She is 18 years older than Cole. Obviously there were many young boys crushing on Denise.

“Fucked up” takes two meanings here, alluding both to being confused or mistaken (“don’t get it fucked up) and the threat of violence/humiliation (“you could still get fucked up).

TY$ still believes that the fame hasn’t made him lax or changed his ability to defend himself if it comes to it.

Key Wane and TY$ had a track ready to kick off the month of December (2014).

Produced by Key Wane, this quick song talks about TY$, and how he has not changed at all since all the money and fame.

The instrumental samples Big Sean’s ‘I Don’t Fuck With You’s’ sample of D.J Roger’s “Say You Love Me, One More Time”, and has some soulful keys thrown on-top with a nice synth and drum pattern

Overall, Key Wane came in with another dope instrumental, TY$ threw on the soulful vocals, and we have a hit song.

The usage of “snatch” may present a double entendre within this line:

  • to ‘snatch’ is to quickly grab or take something (i.e., when stealing)
  • ‘snatch’ is also a slang term for vagina.

So by saying “snatch that” they are just reaffirming the previous line of “rob that pussy”

At one point in time, Chris was a ‘broke nigga’ who grew up in Virginia.

Now, it’s the middle of December (a month usually filled with snow – especially back home) and Chris is on a boat (presumably a yacht) somewhere where there is no winter.

The yacht specifically signifies his wealth, which goes to show how his life has changed.
