During a sit down with Tavis Smiley, J. Cole spoke about the meaning of his introspective track, “Love Yourz” off of 2014 Forest Hills Drive. 

The Dreamville captain says that the song is a reflection of him realizing that material things would not bring him true happiness, which is he thought was possible in his younger years.

“[Love Yourz] sums up the entire album and just what I’ve learned from my career,” Cole told Smiley. “There was such an attempt to achieve these things and to keep going that you lose sight of the people and the blessing you have around you.”
