[Verse 1]
As I got older, the days got shorter,
Heart got colder, cracked brick mortar.
Soul turned bitter, coffee no sugar,
No patience left for the fakes or the boogers.
Doing what I can, hands tight on the wheel,
Dreams slipping fast like banana peels.
Head still high, sky heavy with the gray,
Every sunrise, I’m fightin’ for the day.
[Chorus]
Cold soul, warm flame—still burnin’,
No rest, my page keeps turnin’.
Fake smiles fade, truth’s my only gold,
As I got older, my heart got cold.
[Verse 2]
I pace the block like a ghost in my kicks,
Minimal beat, but my thoughts do tricks.
Memories sharp, like splinters in my hand,
Scars map the places where I tried to stand.
R&B dreams in a hip-hop lane,
Melodic flow steady, drownin’ out pain.
Pocket so deep, I keep my truth snug,
No hugs for the snakes, just shoulder shrugs.
[Chorus]
Cold soul, warm flame—still burnin’,
No rest, my page keeps turnin’.
Fake smiles fade, truth’s my only gold,
As I got older, my heart got cold.
