J Cole made songs with artists like Kendrick Lamar, Lil Baby, Lil Tjay, Drake and more in the past...
Lil Durk and J. Cole team up to express their raw thoughts on the tough times they have gone through and how they have had to work through great adversity. The main chorus, “All my life, they been trying to keep me down,” speaks to the theme of the song that people doubted Lil Durk while the system that was supposed to support him, actively worked to keep him in the same dark place.
Since reaching stardom and overcoming this hardship, he has worked to change his image and share his experience through rap. By being “The Voice,” he hopes to provide motivation to others who feel as if they are stuck in the trenches. By working on himself and internalizing these issues, he is “tryna better myself, tryna better my health” in order to continue providing inspiration.
J. Cole fits perfectly with the positive theme of the song since he typically raps about focusing on yourself and overcoming many of the same adversities. With his fame, he remains humble and promises to himself that he is in it for life. By deciding he wants to keep “runnin' long distance,” he can continue to support those around him and provide hope for millions to face their challenges.
