Cole isn’t putting in filler; he’s venting about his old issues, and letting all out with a sigh of relief.

Also, Cole literally is spitting all three lines on one breathe of air. He breathes and then let’s loose all three bars while he vents. Double entendres are great!

Cole didn’t realize the implications of his actions at the time he was in college, but now he realizes that when he had sex with a girl and then ignored her, that was painful for her.

Now he faces her on the street, and he gets to feel the guilt of how she thinks he isn’t worth anything because he’s a sinner inside.

This end line sums up the meaning of the song. LAnd of The Snakes references the location of where a pivotal interaction with an old female friend in which Cole once smashed and dashed brought to Cole’s attention that he was/IS a snake. He preyed on her until he got what he wanted much like the infamous Biblical snake with Adam and Eve.

This album often depicts Cole in a self-deprecating light.

The last two lines might also be Cole comparing himself to his father as he now comes to the realization that he treated this girl the same way his father treated Cole’s mother. This is not the first time he does this, in “Lost Ones” he also gets called out by a girl who says he isn’t worth shit.

Also peep the nice wordplay with the word ‘worth’. Even though Cole is materially rich, he is shown to be morally poor.

In the first line of the hook, Cole says that nothing is impossible, which is a statement of empowerment. The first line of this verse is questioning your moral integrity. If you could do any one thing, would it be something morally corrupt? “You already know who your genie is” could be Cole’s way of implying that you make your own wishes come true.

This line refers to the genie as to God, when asking would the wish be devious this is because normally in religion you do not ask God to assisting in fulfilling sin, but to abstain from it all together. Basically asking if you could get one thing right away from God would it be to please yourself or to please God?

The genie line is also saying if a girl has a devious sexual wish then Cole is her genie that’ll make it come true.

Cole uses this subtle line as imagery pertaining to his personality, continuing exclaiming his hardness as opposite to the softness of others. With this line he could mean that, since day one:

• He’s always been a horny guy, or, in other words, he was born to having uncommitted sex with women – born to sin.

• He’s illustrating his maturity compared to others since babies normally cannot get erections.

• Or maybe he’s was just ready to fuck up the world from the start.

Cole used to have to share a room with his brother when he was younger. This is difficult for J Cole, because he can’t even bring girls in to his room that way! He might as well be bunking with his mom.

When she comes over, she’s going to see that Cole has been wearing his brother’s hand me down stuff, which will be embarrassing for him.

The line “Finally got my own bedroom in this bitch” is also talking about his spot in hip-hop’s culture and how he is finally a top, well-known figure in the rap game. “Brother’s room” could refer to his mentor and label boss Jay-Z or his best friend Kendrick Lamar, who already hit it big with m.A.A.d. city.
