Difference is the rappers who flaunt the "lyrical" image are low-key trash. As far as I know, not one line is wasted in this song. Lyrical Miracles fill their songs with arbitrary big words, fast rapping, and overused flows that brings nothing new or interesting to the table. Then they got the nerve to be on a high horse

Kola Kehinde well I perceive it to mean when he says “I'm sendin' a warnin', a problem with me is like the BET Hip-Hop Awards,I'm startin' to see you niggas don't want it” that he comparing niggas not wanting smoke with him like niggas not wanting the bet hip hop awards, people will hype it up just to not show up or tune in to watch it.. just like niggas might talk shit abt Cole but they won’t really pop smoke

[@lildragon6415]

@@monetmonroe4644 So why don't people show up for the BET awards? I think he's talking about that. He mentioned things like shoot first like a 2 guard instead of point. A point guard in basketball passes the ball and helps other players score whereas a 2 guard is a shooting guard, aka shooting a gun. He wants more point guards in his community who help each other instead of shooting each other. He also said you give someone a rope and he hangs himself. So that's self destruction. So going with that theme, I think not wanting a BET award is about not wanting to recognize an award from the black community. Instead, they want a Grammy, aka recognition from white people. I believe Cole wants black people to be more independent and to help each other and recognize each other. To stop asking for white people to recognize you. Recognize yourselves. Accept your BET award and celebrate it!
