"Crocodile Tearz" is a song by American rapper J. Cole from his fourth mixtape Might Delete Later (2024).
Composition and lyrics
"Crocodile Tearz" utilizes an "eerie Memphis-leaning beat" that has been described as reminiscent of the song "Knife Talk" by Drake featuring 21 Savage,[2] as well as "mournful sonics" while J. Cole uses a direct tone in his lyrics,[3] in which he emphasizes his status as among the best rappers in the modern hip-hop world.[2] In addition, he takes subliminal shots at Future: "Yes, sir, it's me, not two, not three / The uno, G-O-A-T, I need my fee, fuck kudos / G4 at least, these flights ain't cheap as you know / They sound faded, they downgraded, they Pluto / I'm bigger than Mars, this nigga a star, I'm Bruno".[4] Cole would nevertheless, go on to collaborate with Future and Metro Boomin's on their collaboration album, We Still Don't Trust You, featuring on the eighteenth track "Red Leather".[5]
