Imitation #7: Music of 2010/11

All I Want Is You

Miguel- (J.cole rap)

Got a flock full of dimes   A
Like a line full of hoes,      B
Look how they coming in   C
Just saying                               D
You don’t wanna have me then somebody will    E
I’m playing      D
Weight on my chest like I body build    F
I’m praying    D
You ain’t content with trying to do your thang   G
Hey come back baby boomerang    H

 

These lines are about getting over a break up and trying to heal. Usually with men, when they are trying to get over a break up, they try to fill that void with other females and that’s basically what J Cole is rapping about in these lines. Also these lines are a confession because he is saying that he is having trouble getting over the girl and he is trying to apologize. The rhyme scheme if A, B, C, D, E, D, F, D, G, and H. Some literary devices in these will be end rhyme in lines four, six and eight with the words saying, playing and praying. There is also a simile in line 7. He compares the weight on his chest to body building. The mood is these lines are apologetic and regret.
