I’ve listened to so many of his songs but this is one is unlike the rest. Cole head for a longgg time now, before Friday Night Lights. Dope beat, catchy lyrics, and great job from Cole. He’s talk about living in the Ville’ (Fayetville) and how he had big dreams of making it big. Whatever that damn sound is in the background goes so well with this song. Something to bump your head to in the car or gym the beat is crazyyyyyyy. Cole talks about how his friend reminded him how special of an opportunity he had to be going off to school and its cool to see how great Cole is at reminiscing and bringing up these real stories in his music. It’ so real, it takes us back to in time when Cole was 18 and talking with one of his friends who was selling drugs to support his family at the time. The last verse on this song is the best one of the whole song to me. The beat is dope and is verses seem so realistic. Again Cole is showing his storytelling ability. This song interpolates “Runnin” by Biggie & 2Pac. No, Cole is opening up in ways that not too many rappers do. It’s cool to see an artist be so honest in his music, this isn’t a braggadocious song talking about how he gets so many hoes. He makes his music for his fans and he feels so comfortable around them. The coolest thing about this track is how honest Cole is with himself. The song talks about how he lost his virginity and the feelings he felt.

That talent is on full display throughout this entire song. One of Coles biggest talents as an MC is his ability to storytell. He’s saying he is the best now, but just wait there’s more to come on what Cole believes is now his time to claim the throne. Or you might be Drizzy Drake or Kendrick Lamarīut check your birth date nigga, you ain’t the God Cole is name dropping at the end of this song: BUT there’s something different in this song that we don’t normally hear from Cole. He’s very focused on not selling himself out. Another soulful beat, with great lyrics. He talks about how he came up and highlights some of the problems with being a Black man in America while using the chorus to bring it all back to him. This is the Cole I and every other Cole fan loves. Nothing too special here, just a short soulful intro and something we’re used to with Cole. He clearly is thinking about what brings happiness and how you do get it. The repeated line, “Do you wanna be happy?”, shows what a common theme of this album is gonna be. “Intro” starts off with Cole getting super soulful here.
