Cole uses his second verse to recall meeting Obama and speaking to him about helping oppressed black people in America. "I had a convo with the president/ I paid to go and see him/ Thinking bout the things I said I'd say when I would see him/ Feeling nervous/ sitting in a room full of white folks/ Thinking about the black man plight/ think I might choke."
Check out "High For Hours" below.
