Like recording tracks, I’m sacrificing the food that I’m eating too a few snacks

I just wanna four door I can push too the store
But, these jobs not hiring need I say more Malik Ferraud – Broke Night

It’s a cold world ain't it, word to Jermaine
Great minds think the same
See I could roc the nation but, the dollars I’m accumulating
Only amounts to a few things that I can partake in Malik Ferraud – Broke Night

Malik is referencing Jay-Z’s artist, J. Cole whose real name is Jermaine. He’s insinuating that Cole has a great mind and he and Malik think alike. Also, the “roc the nation” line is a play on words to Jay-Z’s label, “Roc Nation” which J. Cole is signed to. Malik believes he can take over the nation but right now there’s only a few things he can afford to do.
