Cole really poured his heart out this track. it was dedicated to Shaniya Davis, a 5 year old from Fayetteville NC who was raped & killed. the song samples 2Pac's Pain.


[Verse 1]
Gettin higher than the soul of little Shaniya
To the ones that killed her, hope you burn in fire

I’m burnin' tires on the strip, tryna get a grip
Liquor in the cupholder, tryna get a sip

6 shots of Hennessey, I’m still goin' strong
Please numb me from the bullshyt that’s goin' on

That girl was 5 years old that they just murdered
And did some wicked shyt to her that was unheard of
You fukkin' coward
Ain’t gotta tell em’ go to Hell
Cuz that’s the shyt that make them other nikkas sick in jail;
So you gon’ feel it

Travel the world reppin' this city, know I’m gon' kill it
But yet a nikka ain’t got a clue..
How I’m gon' deal with all the bullshyt

nikkas sendin shots my way
You put a hit out on me, think that I’m gon' stop? No way
Gon' have to kill me, or witness a nikka livin' so filthy
Young, black, and wealthy, nikka for that I’m guilty

Still see all the fake shyt
It’s funny somehow thought the money could erase it
No matter how much dough you got you gotta face it
And to my nikkas gone hope you in a better place
If I make it I’ll holla…


[Hook]
See World (See world, See world)
You’re no good

See World (See world, See world)
You’re no good
No matter how I hate flashbacks and rewinds
Can’t escape the pain that’s trapped in my mind

See World (See world, See world)
You’re no good

[Verse 2]
Yeah I got a chip on my shoulder the size of the Golden Nugget
The industry overlook me for that I be holding grudges
Wouldn’t take a chance on me
Suddenly it's, oh you love it

Let's get a Cole feature that's gon' put you over budget
Picture being broke with no pot to piss in
And then suddenly your idols is your competition
Used to be like God to me, slowly losing my religion

As these notes from my composition turn to compositions, then
Put it out and hope the World sing
We sippin’ liquor for the pain that the World bring

We had dreams just to make it up the flag pole
Just to find out that out heroes were some ass holes

Y’all dont hear me, maybe you had the World figured out wrong
When these nikkas go from singing our songs to waiting on you
Bout a year later the same ones be hatin’ on you
Every other record these rappers be faking on you
We singing songs but we know that ain't true
We know you gotta make the people pay you

Cause either you play the game or watch the game play you
And be that broke muthafukker talkin bout “I stay true”

That song fits so well towards closing the tape out.

"We had dreams just to make it up the flagpole,
just to find out that our heroes was some a$$holes."

That could be in 'False Prophets' today
