J. Cole Revisits Drake and Kendrick Lamar Beef as a Voice of Reason on New Single ‘Port Antonio’
J. Cole addresses his decision to back out of the rap battle between Drake and Kendrick Lamar on the new single 'Port Antonio.'
Just to attain some mo’/Props from strangers that don’t got a clue what I been aimin’ for?” There’s no way to know what the outcome could have been in a battle that he didn’t truly fight — he said his own diss track disturbed his spirit and had him losing sleep — but he still wants to defend his right to have been involved to begin with. “They strip me of my spot, and now I’m finally free, my nigga/They say I’m pickin’ sides, ayy, don’t you lie on me, my nigga.” The rest of the verse speaks directly to Drake with much kinder words than anything Kendrick had to offer him. “Then start another war, ayy, Drake, you’ll always be my nigga/I ain’t ashamed to say you did a lot for me, my nigga/Fuck all the narratives/Tappin’ back into your magic pen is what’s imperative/Remindin’ these folks why we do it, it’s not for beefin’/It’s for speakin’ our thoughts, pushin’ ourselves, reachin’ the charts,” Cole says.
