In the video down below, Akademiks gives his opinion on the verse and what he thinks Cole was trying to do. Ultimately, it all boils down to Cole wanting to be on top.

DJ Akademiks Gives His Interpretation

For Akademiks, Cole is trying to tell people that he doesn't think Drake or even Kendrick Lamar could out-rap him. The big three in hip-hop right now are Drake, Cole, and Kendrick. Most would say Kendrick is on top, then Cole, and then Drake. However, Cole is someone who has gone on a magnificent feature run as of late. If he were to translate that into a full album with The Fall Off, then you could argue his spot as the number-one rapper in the entire world.
