Cole is highlighting the ignorance of the people back from where he came from. By saying that they cannot tell the difference between Iraq and Israel, two very different countries with completely contrasting political and cultural ideologies, despite being geographically close, he is making a comment on how some people are solely focused on themselves and uneducated about other world issues and events. Since they are that simple-minded, there is nothing that they could actually teach Cole.

This could also be a general comment about the ignorance of American foreign policy and awareness about other parts of the world as a whole.

  • Infinity and Beyond was a song by fellow Pro-Era member Capital Steez.

  • Joey’s breakout production was called 1999 and earned him a lot of respect in the rap game. He’s gonna keep bringing the same heat that he brought until infinity. We’re excited.

Fun Fact: 1999 came out a year ago from the release of this song, and it is still a hit!
