Intro (2014 Forest Hills Drive)

J. Cole

Immediately Cole delves into the elements of the album: freedom, happiness and love.

When moving back to his hometown of Fayetteville, he spoke about how his life in the Hollywood lights only brought him “fake happiness.”

In an interview with NPR, Cole said that the song was recorded around the same time as “Be Free,” noting the similarity in the simple piano instrumentation and him singing on both tracks.
