I know you lame ass coli nikkas hate on Simba but I can't see how this song doesn't move you.

The first verse :wow:
"Maybe i should be telling you fukk you cause you selfish, but I want a father so bad I can't help but break down"

Second verse
"You made a milli off of selling hard white yeah right, my mom will tell you what addicted to that pipe feels like" :damn:

The piano on the bridge :ohlawd: So refreshing to hear actual musical progression in a hip hop track, just beautiful brehs

Third verse
"He serving time on lockdown, and she don't want nobody to know. His daughter's 25 pounds, but by the time he get out she gonna be 4" :to:

And to finish it the Mariah/Bone interpolation :noah:

I can't even call this hip hop, this is just music to me. The message, the insight into the people in his life, the strings at the end, the soul-bearing :whoo:

Cole gave us a gem with this one

:ld: There's a bunch of songs better than "Breakdown" on FNL. I love Cole, but Sideline Story was a dissapointment. I still listen to "The Warm Up" and FNL more that SLS
