At the risk of sounding excruciatingly *basic*, coming up with witty Instagram captions is hard. You never know whether to go for something straightforward and descriptive, something mysterious and unclear, or something punny. You may find this odd coming from someone that writes for fun, but I too often have a hard time finding just the right words for my heavily-edited and carefully-curated ‘grams. As a default I usually go for short and concise rap lyrics because someone has already done the thinking for me, all I need to do is put them with the right picture. J. Cole, arguably one of the best lyricists of our time, has done all the hard work for you so here is a list of clever lines for your pics.

When in doubt, use someone else’s words for a foolproof caption. Thank you, J. Cole for your one-liners. Alternatively, see Drake and Beyonce lyrics for no-thought-necessary captions for those careful and specific Instagrams.
