[Intro]
Hood up
Cold step
Cold breath
Whole block
Still checks
No rest
[Verse 1]
Slide in a trackie
Plain
Whole life packed in a Jane
Cousin got grabbed for the same
Mum still praying my name
Dark nights
Bus stop
Frost
Phone line buzz for the cost
If I miss one ring
That’s loss
If I hit wrong door
That’s cross
Old friends talk like pagans
New ones come with the statements
I just clock routes
Do maintenance
Heart got numb to the lateness
[Chorus]
Cold step when I walk on the pavement (cold step)
Ice in my chest
No patience
Whole town talk ‘bout my name
They hate it (they hate)
But they still run back for the payments
Cold step
Never show where I’m stayin’
Whole team move in formation
Cold step
Cold step
I’m stayin’
Cold step
Cold step
I’m stayin’
[Verse 2]
Still got rice and stew
On the table
Same old view
Kettle on
Steam in the room
Countertop marked with the proof
Little bro clocked that stash
Asked why I’m out so fast
Said “I’m tryna build us cash”
Truth is I’m stuck in a trap
[low vocal register] Man can’t trust these rumors
Heard them once
That’s bloopers
I just move quiet
Smoother
Circle clipped down
Got fewer
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[whispered vocals] If I fall off
Who cares?
If I win big
Who’s there?
Same coat
Same old stairs
Same prayer
Same old chair
[Chorus]
