Frogtoon Music - Song Info: Kevin’s Heart

In “Kevin’s Heart ” Cole Is Singing From The Stance Of A Person In Love With Drugs. Throughout The Track He References Taking Xannies And Smoking Blunts And Relates The Use Of Drugs To Potentially Cheating On His Partner. The Title Itself Is A Reference To Actor And Comedian Kevin Hart Who Admitted To Cheating On His Wife And Mother Of His Child. The Music Video Of The Track Prominently Features Hart Receiving Judgement From People In The Public But Ultimately Recognizing His Own Mistakes As A Growth Opportunity. This Runs Parallel With Cole’s Own Cheating Nature And Also Ties Into The Overall Message Of The Album – To Choose Wisely. These Lines Could Be A Reference To An Actual Woman That He Doesn’t Want To Cheat On. “She” Could Also Mean The Drug That The Person May Be Attempting To Sell Him As Later In The Same Pre-Chorus He Says “If I Take This Cookie Now One Day I’ll Do The Time ” Which Could Literally Send Him To Jail. The Line Relates To The Title Kids On Drugs As The Point Of View Of The Song Is Someone Attempting To Stay Away From The Drugs They Had Once Filled Their Life With. It Also Relates To Kill Our Demons Because The Demon In This Case Would Be Lust. The Person Would Be Attempting To Kill The Lust Within Them In An Attempt To Be Loyal To His Significant Other. Lastly King OverDosed Is About Cole Himself. In The Past Cole Has Referenced His Cheating Nature On Tracks Like “She Knows.” Cole Is Most Likely Referencing And Taking Aim At His Addiction To Cheating In The Earlier Stages Of His Life. Kevin Hart Responded By Telling Vulture Magazine That “It Wasn’t Done From A Hateful Or Spiteful Place. It Was Done With A Smart Intent Behind It Which I Think A Lot Of Cole’s Stuff Is Done.” He Also Featured In The Video Which Was Released The Week Of April 23rd 2018. “Kevin’s Heart” By J. Cole Was Ranked As One Of The Best Tracks Of 2018 By Former-President Barack Obama In His Year-End List Released On 28 December 2018.
