TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Lagu milik rapper J. Cole yang berjudul ‘She Knows,’ akhir-akhir ini menjadi perbincangan di media sosial. Sebuah teori TikTok yang viral telah memicu diskusi daring yang menghubungkan lirik lagu tersebut dengan kematian sejumlah musisi ternama dunia. Di antaranya adalah Aaliyah, Lisa Lopes atau Left Eye, dan Michael Jackson.

Teori tersebut diduga mengungkap kejahatan yang dilakukan oleh rapper dan produser musik Amerika Serikat, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs. Teori itu menyatakan bahwa Beyoncé, Jay-Z, dan Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs entah bagaimana terlibat dalam kematian ketiga artis tersebut, yang secara kebetulan semuanya meninggal pada tanggal 25 di bulan dan tahun yang berbeda.

Walau lirik lagunya tidak secara langsung mengaitkan dengan Diddy, namun sejumlah netizen percaya bahwa lagu ini mengarah para Beyonce yang diduga mengetahui banyak rahasia gelap di industri musik Hollywood.

Sebuah teori konspirasi juga mengaitkan lagu tersebut dengan Beyoncé dan Jay Z, yang dianggap terlibat dalam kematian beberapa artis terkenal serta dalam kasus P Diddy. Kata “She” dalam judul lagu itu dinilai merujuk pada Jay Z, yang diambil dari nama depannya, yaitu Shawn, dengan nama lengkap Shawn Corey Carter. Sedangkan "Know" merujuk pada Beyoncé, diambil dari nama belakangnya, Knowles, dengan nama lengkap Beyonce Giselle Knowles-Carter.

Teori ini didasarkan pada lirik lagu J. Cole yang menyebutkan, “Rest in peace to Aaliyah / Rest in peace to Left Eye (Left Eye) / Michael Jackson, I'll see ya.” Dalam bahasa Indonesia penggalan lirik tersebut berarti “Beristirahatlah dengan tenang untuk Aaliyah/ Beristirahatlah dengan tenang untuk Left Eye/ Michael Jackson, aku akan menemuimu.”

[Intro: J. Cole & Amber Coffman]

She knows

She knows, ayy

Bad things happen to the people you love

And you find yourself praying up to Heaven above

But honestly I never had much sympathy

'Cause those bad things, I always saw them coming for me

I'm gonna run, run away (Oh, I), run, run away, run away (Oh, I, I, I)

Run away and never come back (Well, alright)

Run, run away, run, run away (Oh, I), run away (Oh, I, I, I)

Show 'em that your color is black (Well, alright)

[Verse 1: J. Cole]

Damned if I do, damned if I don't

You know I got a girl back home

You got a man, what you want? What you want?

What these bitches want from a nigga?

On some DMX shit, huh

I know them other niggas love tricking

On some BMX shit, but not me

Now I'm sure you done heard about me

A black star, Mos Def, Kweli

Good, so them bad hoes try me, they try me, huh

This is Martin Luther King in the club, getting dubs, huh

With a bad bitch in his ear, sayin' that she down for whatever

In the back of his mind is Coretta

[Chorus: J. Cole]

And she knows, she knows

And I know she knows, and I know she knows

And deep down, she knows, she knows

And I know she knows, and I know she knows

[Refrain: J. Cole with Amber Coffman]

Well, alright, oh, I, oh, I, I, I

I can't be what you want from me, well, alright

Oh, I, oh, I, I, I

I can't be what you want from me, well, alright

[Verse 2: J. Cole]

Damned if I do (Shit), damned if I don't (Uh)

I'm passing up on bad hoes

Trying to be the man that she want, what she want?

What, what she want from a nigga?

To put a ring on it, uh

Got a bitch on my dick right now

And she just want to sing on it, uh

Got me up so high, tryin' get a piece of that apple pie, uh

I be up so high, tryin' get a piece of that apple pie

Dancehall vibe with my pants on fire

'Cause I told her I was sleep

'Cause I creep with this pretty young thing that I cho'

'Cause she could be doing the same thing, I suppo'

[Chorus: J. Cole]

And she knows, she knows

And I know she knows, and I know she knows

And deep down, she knows, she knows

And I know she knows, and I know she knows

[Refrain: J. Cole with Amber Coffman]

Well, alright, oh, I, oh, I, I, I

I can't be what you want from me, well, alright

Oh, I, oh, I, I, I

I can't be what you want from me, well, alright

[Bridge: J. Cole]

Niggas say, "Turn up," hoes say, "Turn up"

Only bad thing 'bout a star is they burn up

Niggas say, "Turn up," hoes say, "Turn up"

Only bad thing 'bout a star is they burn up

Rest in peace to Aaliyah

Rest in peace to Left Eye (Left Eye)

Michael Jackson, I'll see ya

Just as soon as I die (I die)

Got me up so high, tryin' get a piece of that apple pie, uh

I be up so high, tryin' get a piece of that apple pie

Got me up so high, tryin' get a piece of that apple pie, uh

I be up so high, tryin' get a piece of that apple pie

[Refrain: J. Cole & Amber Coffman]

Well, alright, oh, I, oh, I, I, I

I can't be what you want from me, well, alright

Oh, I, oh, I, I, I

I can't be what you want from me, well, alright
