After releasing his fourth album 4 Your Eyez Only in December, J. Cole returns with his poignant record "High for Hours."
On his new track, Cole ruminates about his encounter with President Barack Obama during a visit to the White House. "I had a convo with the President, I paid to go and see him/ Thinkin' about the things I said I'd say when I would see him/ Feelin' nervous, sittin' in a room full of white folks/ Thinkin' about the black man plight, think I might choke," raps Cole. "Nope, raised my hand and asked a man a question/ Does he see the struggle of his brothers in oppression?/ And if so, if you got all the power and the clout/ As the President, what's keepin' you from helpin' n---as out?"
