So close
Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom
Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom
Poor thing, young pup's playin' war games
He wanted love, but he only made more pain
Poor thing, young pup's playin' war games
He wanted love, but he only made more pain
Picture my soul climbin' out of infinite holes
Where niggas die over pride and live for the dough
If I survive, then I strive to hit with the flow
Hopin' these waves will pave, but the ripples is slow
And I'm conflicted with no digits to show
Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom
Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom
Poor thing, young pup's playin' war games
He wanted love, but he only made more pain
Poor thing, young pup's playin' war games
He wanted love, but he only made more pain
Picture my soul climbin' out of infinite holes
Where niggas die over pride and live for the dough
If I survive, then I strive to hit with the flow
Hopin' these waves will pave, but the ripples is slow
And I'm conflicted with no digits to show
But fantasies of frivolous hoes grippin' this pole
The temperature's low
But you know that ain't stoppin' lil' nigga for slidin', like the tires on the whip in the snow
This is for sure, I'm tip-toein' around the abyss with sticks blowin'
Piss poor with intentions to glimpse
The wrist glowin', face, tits, for rent, owing
Fist clenched when niggas diss, but since knowin'
Lives expire when niggas pride gets higher than the vocal range inside, but rise vocal chain, uh
My road to fame is right with spikes and broken lanes, and tolls I can't afford but I won't complain
I know the more I gotta struggle is the more I gain
Post-traumatic-stress on an immature brain
The temperature's low
But you know that ain't stoppin' lil' nigga for slidin', like the tires on the whip in the snow
This is for sure, I'm tip-toein' around the abyss with sticks blowin'
Piss poor with intentions to glimpse
The wrist glowin', face, tits, for rent, owing
Fist clenched when niggas diss, but since knowin'
Lives expire when niggas pride gets higher than the vocal range inside, but rise vocal chain, uh
My road to fame is right with spikes and broken lanes, and tolls I can't afford but I won't complain
I know the more I gotta struggle is the more I gain
Post-traumatic-stress on an immature brain
Leaves another corpse, young pup playin' war games
Now he's handcuffed, old lady sayin', "Poor thing"
Poor thing, young pup's playin' war games
He wanted love, but he only made more pain
Poor thing, young pup's playin' war games
He wanted love, but he only made more pain

Come get your issue, no one gets sprayed

Gonna pop off, get fucked by your mystique, punk bitch
I knew you way before you was actin' street, punk bitch
Started rollin' with niggas that's packin' heat, punk bitch
You more like me than them niggas, you still a geek, punk bitch
You can't hide it with tattoos on your physique, punk bitch
And that lingo you added, that how you speak, punk bitch?
And you grew up with both your parents to teach, punk bitch
All of a sudden, I'm buzzin', oh, now it's beef, punk bitch
Gonna pop off, get fucked by your mystique, punk bitch

And that lingo you added, that how you speak, punk bitch?
And you grew up with both your parents to teach, punk bitch
So how the fuck all of the sudden, you turnin' G? Punk bitch
You a slave to the peer pressure, you're weak, punk bitch
You ain't claimin' no real section, your street weren't lit
Man, your shit look like mine, with hella tree trunks, bitch
Move to Forest Hill Drive, and it was peace for a bit
'Til domestic turned violent, then a key just switched
In the back of my mind, I gotta be somethin', bitch
That's when I started rhymin' and makin' beats, son o' bitch
Way before you was lyin' 'bout touchin' keys, son o' bitch
You a slave to the peer pressure, you're weak, punk bitch
You ain't claimin' no real section, your street weren't lit
Man, your shit look like mine, with hella tree trunks, bitch
Move to Forest Hill Drive, and it was peace for a bit
'Til domestic turned violent, then a key just switched
In the back of my mind, I gotta be somethin', bitch
That's when I started rhymin' and makin' beats, son o' bitch
Way before you was lyin' 'bout touchin' keys, son o' bitch
Heard you say I ain't real, that's your belief, huh? Bitch
Well, look, I'm back in the 'Ville, so we can see, punk bitch
Gonna shoot me the fade when we meet, punk bitch
And don't be bringin' no hammers, nah, don't cheat, punk bitch
Nah, don't cheat, punk bitch
Tryna lean on that shit, nigga, I want my fuckin' head up ('Cause I've been through lots of things)
Punk bitch (Real)

Que racontent les paroles de la chanson Poor Thang de J. Cole ?
Avec « Poor Thang », J. Cole livre une réflexion poignante sur les mécanismes de la violence et l'imposture de la culture de rue. Le titre fonctionne comme un diptyque : d'un côté, la tragédie universelle de la jeunesse sacrifiée sur l'autel de l'orgueil ; de l'autre, une confrontation personnelle et cinglante. Le rappeur de Caroline du Nord utilise la métaphore des « jeux de guerre » pour souligner l'inconscience de ceux qui cherchent la validation sociale à travers le danger, transformant leur quête d'affection en un sillage de souffrance.
Le récit bascule lorsqu'il interpelle un ancien camarade de lycée. Cole brise le mythe du « dur à cuire » en révélant les origines privilégiées de son adversaire, qualifié de « slave to peer pressure » (esclave de la pression des pairs). Cette déconstruction du « mystique » de la rue est centrale : Cole fustige ceux qui adoptent un jargon et des tatouages pour masquer leur absence de vécu réel. L'usage d'un intermède vocal de Boosie Badazz sert ici de contrepoint, illustrant l'agitation que Cole tente de calmer par un appel à la raison.
Le message final est un plaidoyer pour la survie. En invitant son rival à régler leurs comptes de manière traditionnelle (« run me my fade ») sans recourir aux armes à feu, Cole cherche à briser le cycle des « vies qui expirent » prématurément. Entre introspection sur son propre parcours vers la gloire et dénonciation des faux-semblants, le morceau souligne la fragilité des ego masculins. Pour Cole, la véritable force ne réside pas dans la simulation de la menace, mais dans la capacité à assumer son identité réelle, loin des artifices d'une dangerosité de façade.
