About St. Tropez
Drastically changing from the mood of “Fire Squad,” we see the arch of the album changing as Cole’s career starts to take off. The song is named after St. Tropez, France. While the verses could be about another relationship, St. Tropez has been used as a metaphor for fame and fortune in hip hop more than once. During Cole’s "2014 Forest Hills Drive" Tour, he had been breaking down the song. The album credits state that Rose “TS” Desandies, a member of Cole’s touring band, performed the background vocals in this song. .
St. Tropez Lyrics
[00:45.26] Roll up and smoke my sins away
[00:48.15] I'd like to go to St. Tropez
[00:50.96] Maybe I'll go, maybe I'll stay (maybe I'll stay)
[00:56.62] She asked me if I'm scared to fly
[00:59.49] To tell the truth, I'm terrified
[01:02.33] I never been that high before
[01:08.05] Very bad reason not to go
[01:11.68]
[01:13.74] Terrible reason not to go
[01:19.39] He's on his way, he's 'bout to get paid
[01:22.13] He's on his way to Hollywood
[01:25.12] He's on his way, he's 'bout to get paid
[01:27.74] He's on his way to Hollywood

[01:43.03] Ay, from the door I showed you my scars
[01:45.32] And I told you girl, "I won't lie-ie-ie"
[01:48.71] If we at war, then this is a war that I can't afford, no I, I, I
[01:54.59] I wanted more but that was before
[01:56.51] Lord knows I'm torn, so I, I cry
[02:00.33] From the corner of my eye, baby
[02:03.07] It's been hard for me to smile-ile
[02:07.85] Lately, it's been hard for me to smile-ile
[02:13.32] Lately, it's been hard for me to smile-ile
[02:19.12] Lately, it's been hard for me to smile
[02:24.57]
[02:28.28] Ooh, ooh, ooh
[02:33.99] Ooh, ooh, ooh
[02:40.80] (If you won't take me in your home)
[02:46.43] (If you won't take me in your home)
