Love Yourz - J. Cole

  I usually wouldn't post two songs back to back from the same artist but this song is special and has a lot of meaning behind it. This song means a lot to J. Cole because he says it symbolizes the message he tried to convey on his album "Happiness" and basically what he has learned though out his career. Being able to buy his mom a house, being famous and having people admiring him for his music he thought was what he wanted. When those things finally came he realized that the happiness wasn't there. J. Cole said that when he was young he thought that success was all he needed. Having success was what was going to bring him happiness. There was such an attempt to achieve those things that you lose sight of the people and the blessings you have around you. In an interview about his song "Love Yourz" he said that When you reach your success that you're so focus on your next step in your career and your next check that you forget the fact that you have these things that seem small but when you look at it you realize that that's the only thing that matters your mother, family, and your love which is what this song is really about. The message I receive from this song is that you can have all the success and money in the world but with out the people you love and the people who truly care and know you all those material things mean nothing.You should appreciate what you have even if it doesn't seem like a lot. "Money doesn't buy happiness."
