[Intro]
Yeah, it's a cold world, but we living tall
From the blocks to the charts, we gon' ball
[Verse 1]
Mama told me, keep it real, never fall
Smoke that pressure, stand tall, answer the call
Trouble stay lurking, gotta move quick, uh
Police knock, pack up, time to split, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
We waitin' on the moment, lock and load, it's time to go
Chasing dreams, dodging fears, watch the ways we motherload
The streets cold but our hearts colder, stayin' strong through the pain
Remember the fallen soldiers, they in heaven, while we remain
[Chorus]
It's a cold, cold world, but we stand tall
From the blocks to the charts, we gon' ball
Stay real, stay strong, remember the fallen
In these streets, we forever ballin'
[Bridge]
Hustle every day, grind till we shine
Pain in our eyes, but the past can't define
Caught in the struggle, but our spirits divine
We risin' from the mud, destinies align
[Outro]
Yeah, we live and we learn, money to burn
Forever earn, city lights, we yearn
Keep the faith, never turn, the streets confirm
In this game of life, we always churn
