Notes

"Stay" was recorded in 2009. Cole revealed in an interview with MTV that the song was intended for his debut album, Cole World: The Sideline Story, but he never brought the beat from No I.D.. Rapper Nas eventually used the beat on his 2012 release Life Is Good in a song titled by the same name.^[5]
"Cousins" was also featured on Bas' mixtape, "Quarter Water Raised Me Vol. II".^[6]
