    I can't get over it either bruh. For me personally it's safe to say at this point that it will be one of my favorite songs of all time period, marking what it's felt like to be a new to fatherhood... a few of my personal all time favorite songs consist of songs like Love by Musiq and Changes by Tupac.. I don't care what anyone says, She's Mine 2 was executed perfectly and was the climax of the album.

    Last line in folding Clothes. " I see you sleeping and it feels like everything is going to be alright" transitions perfectly to the baby crying (possible waking up) in She's mine pt 2.

    Hook it up my man, how do you turn this into a happy experience? I keep thinking of Cole'/ friend throughout the whole thing, especially during relatable moments like "d---, that could have been any of my friends"

    4 your eyez only line "Older n----s I loved act like they above maintaining a timesheet, that's small money." references Deja Vu's line "She f--- with small town n----s (9-5 type dudes), I got bigger dreams (being a big d--- dealer)."

    Story on the surface is simple, but the lines throughout the album are so intricate.

    Good luck man. I remember when I started coaching football (soccer) earlier this year. Still learning everyday.

    It happened to a friend of mines in high school. Over the years, I've become adept at repressing negative emotions. I just try to see life for all the positive things because there's way more hate and I can't allow that to stand in the way of my happiness. Cole made a remarkable album, IMO. Because of that, I'm really happy for him and it allows me to stay positive while jamming.

    Cole the GOAT. Classic album.

    His flow on Immortal really reminds of Grown Simba.

    What make this album so potent is that this story will always be relevant. Everyone knows a person from high school or maybe college that died from dealing drugs or went to jail for a long time and left behind a little girl or boy.
