Meaning/Explanation: G.O.M.D. by J. Cole
Via YouTube
GOMD Produced by
J. Cole and off his latest album 2014 Forest Hills Drive. This video is based in the olden times where African Americans were
slaves to the white. J. Cole is shown as the butler in the house overseeing the
work done, and gets treated like he’s changed probably because he has the
better job and serves the white in a different manner. In the intro he says “Hollywood
Cole, go. Ay Hollywood, ay. Hollywood Cole, go. My nigga done went Hollywood.” Stating
in his real life he’s changed because of his fame, and shows him transitioning
back to his old self just like in the video. He raps “I put my city on the map
but let me tell you 'bout it. They tryna say I can't come back, ay let me tell
you 'bout it.”There’s a moment where he says hi to the workers and gets yelled
at. Since he went famous and just like in the video changed, people from his
city don’t welcome him like they used to.
During the video he steals the keys to the cabinet
where the weapons are locked, and takes them with him and gives it to the
slaves. For all the mistreatment the whites gave them, they took revenge and
flipped the script on them. Tied them up and started dancing around a fire,
expressing their happiness of freedom they have now. GOMD stand for Get Off My
D-ck meaning all the people mistreating him should leave him alone; that he’s
come back to his old self the old J. Cole aka Jermaine Cole. I hope you enjoyed
my take on the track and music video; watch the video above and take a look and
understand it more.
