The story starts with the protagonist feeling hopeless, ready to die. He's from the hood in the Ville (as explored in Immortal) and meets his future wife in the club in a situation that starts off very familiar (Deja Vu). The protagonist is still suffering from depression, feeling like his time is slowly running out (Ville Mentality)...but the girl he met in Deja Vu is now giving him the strength to get better (She's Mine pt1) and make a positive change from within & for his community (Change). He tries integrating in society with the white folk but they still stereotype him the same despite his best efforts (Neighbours). At this point he's said f--- it and moves back to his old neighbourhood, but this time trying his hardest to the right things for his loved ones even though thats not how he's wired (Folding Clothes). Our protagonist is now happier with a purpose, further highlighted by the birth of his daughter (She's Mine pt2). We reach our tear jerking finale as despite making a positive change in his life and trying to break racial barriers, our protagonist still doesn't feel safe in society potentially due to black on black violence/ police brutality. He proceeds to asking Cole to tell his story to his daughter (4 Your Eyez Only).

Congrats Cole, you did an incredible job. (Of course there are similarities with Cole's real life and I'm not sure if each song was written with strict limits )

PS: It's 6.30am where I am so i might just be chatting s---.

I think the hook and overall vibe on Changes is something we really haven't got from Cole since mixtape days. That hook layering is sooo fresh.
