"Love Yourz"

“Love Yourz” J. Cole

For what's money without happiness? Or hard times without the people you love? Though I'm not sure what's 'bout to happen next I asked for strength from the Lord up above 'Cause I've been strong so far But I can feel my grip loosening Quick, do something before you lose it for good Get it back and use it for good And touch the people how you did like before I'm tired of livin' with demons 'cause they always inviting more Think being broke was better Now I don't mean that phrase with no disrespect To all my niggas out there living in debt Cashing minimal checks Turn on the TV see a nigga Rolex And fantasize about a life with no stress I mean this shit sincerely And that's a nigga who was once in your shoes Living with nothin' to lose I hope one day you hear me Always gon' be a bigger house somewhere, but nigga feel me 'Long as the people in that motherfucker love you dearly Always gon' be a whip that's better than the one you got Always gon' be some clothes that's fresher than the one's you rock Always gon' be a bitch that's badder out there on the tours But you ain't never gon' be happy 'til you love yours

Family is the only thing that matters. In an interview with Tavis Smiley on PBS, Cole explained the meaning behind “Love Yourz”, saying: “Oh man, that sums up the entire album. Just what’ve learned in my career and that’s what this entire album is about. When I was young, I thought that success was all I needed. That was going to bring the happiness. Buying my mom a house, the fame, the accolades, having people say ‘Yo, you really are the best in the game’. I thought those things would bring the happiness. Then when those things came, the happiness wasn’t there. I realized why that was, there was such an attempt to achieve these things and to keep going that you lose sight of the people and blessings that you have around you. You’re so focused on the next success, the next step in your career, the next cheque, whatever it is, and you forget the fact that you have these things that seem small if you’re looking that way, but if you look this way then you realize that the only thing that matters, that’s your mother, that’s your family, that’s love, and that’s what this song is about.” (Source: https://storyofsong.com/story/love-yourz/)
