Since Cole is about to release that new hot fire, I wanted to go back and revisit the hardest song on For Your Eyez Only and arguably one of the hardest songs Cole has ever done. Straight bars in the storytelling.
“Cause young ****** is hard headed, they letting off
Full of adrenaline, ignorant to what death can cause
Ain't no coming back, family dressed in black
Plus it's hot now, the cops outside it's hard to flip a pack
And my daughter gotta eat, her mama be stressing me like I ain't the one who put them Jays on her feet
Like I ain't out in the field like that
I might be low for the moment but I will bounce back
Despite the charges, back to the wall I fight regardless, screaming, "**** the law!", my life is lawless”
“I try to find employment even if it's wiping toilets
But these felonies be making life the hardest
Resisting the temptation to run up and swipe a wallet
Or run up on your yard, snatch your daughter bike and pawn it”
“See baby girl I realized, my definition of a real ***** was skewed
My views misshaped by new mixtapes
That confirmed the **** I learned in the streets was true
That real ****** don't speak when they beef with you
They just pull up on your street, let the heat achoo
And if a real ***** hungry he gon' eat your food
I was a fool, spent all my time ducking school, ducking cops
Ducking rules, hugging blocks that don't love you”
