[GhettoNintendo]

brehs so much truth in this song
even if you don't like this nikkas music you can't deny this song


Feeling like a nikka got handcuffs on
How the fukk did my life become a damn love song?
She ride for a nikka and she stand up for him
But a nikka wanna be a nikka, be a nikka
Ride through the streets with freaks and real nikkas
She never understand what it's like to be a man
Knowing when you look inside yourself you see a nikka
And you don't wanna let her down but you too young for the settle down
And maybe you can thug it out,learn what is love about
When you can't live with her and you can't live without

story of my life brehs

 

[Sugar]

you don't like rich nikkaz?
this album is a personal classic to me. so relatable. deep album.

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

So classic, Cole always hits home but this one was

"Sleeping back to back, this is wack"
Me and my girl were going through things before our breakup and this was us every night.

"Basis, my manager back in the days was racist"
A week before the album came out I had just quit my job cause my manager was on some racist shyt (http://www.thecoli.com/threads/was-i-wrong-to-quit-my-job.121697/#post-4499230). The coincidence

"That's the type of shyt that turned my granny lightskin"

My great-grandmother was raped by her sharecropper. When I heard that I almost lost it brehs

Cole always got a real life story to tell, but this song and 2Face feel like they were written just for me

 

[Real]

That nikka needs to make that Jhene Aiko song his next single

bruh 2face is just

What the pain brings another mother cry still
Why the fukk am I here God?
That nikka died why the fukk am I still alive?
I feel ashamed cause the good Lord done brought all this success to me
And all I seem to focus on is all this stress on me
Bless homie we breathin
Cold world got me sneezing
Wrote this when I was broke so hey I guess we even
Though it blows fighting demons trying to stop from bustin semen
In an unfamiliar bytch I know my nikkas feel this shyt
How could I fukk her raw?And I just met the ho
My dikk took overit ain't never felt this wet before
Im stressing in my mind but its way to late to stop it
Mate this shyt so bad, I had a condom in my pocket
Lets change the topic

nikka said that with so much conviction

Album still gets burn to me, Cole is underrated as a motherfukker on the Coli.

Sidenote, I'm hyped for that Bas album "Last Winter". Dreamville need to step their promo up.

yeah bas is dope man. hopefully we get new cole verses. its so crazy how much i relate to this nikka bruh
i was just listening to 2face right now.

 

[CELL]

Great album. Looking forward to the third album but the pressure's on, if he doesn't break that ceiling he'll just carry on being a more talented Wale.

Yeah Cole is just who he is, there's no posturing, so it's easy for people to relate to him.

When I saw him live he was the most humble cat ever, thanking the crowd and everyone for their support, playing songs strictly for his day one fans (although it was Lights Please). He just seemed genuinely happy to be there.

Yeah hopefully Cole has a couple spots on the album. Their collabs so far have been ridiculously on point.

he's working on a 3rd album right now.
there's pictures of him with DJ Dahi and other producers as well.

What ceiling? He already has multi platurnum singles, top 40 hits and two gold albums
