Cold nights

Intro – melodic)

Yeah…

Cold nights…

Still tryna find the light…

Ayy…

(Hook)

I came up from them cold nights, city don’t sleep,

Takin’ chances every day, but the risk run deep.

Mama prayin’ for her son, tell her love don’t leave,

Tryna turn a lil’ dream to some big boy things.

Yeah, I been on my grind, ain’t no rest for me,

Tryna heal these wounds that they can’t ever see.

Everybody say they real, they pretend to be—

But I learned you only solid if you kept it G.

(Verse 1)

Lost bros in the streets, that’s the life where I grew,

Seen pain turn a kid to a man too soon.

Used to walk home late with the cold wind blue,

Now the roof panoramic when I slide on through.

Heart froze, but I’m workin’ on the thawin’ out,

Mind full of demons that I never wanna talk about.

I remember days I ain’t have a safe spot,

Now the safe spot filled with the pain I bought.

But I still keep goin’, gotta move with the motion,

Lil’ bro look up, so I’m holdin’ the focus.

City so wild, you get lost in the ocean,

But I came too far, now I’m floatin’, I’m floatin’.

(Hook)

I came up from them cold nights, city don’t sleep,

Takin’ chances every day, but the risk run deep.

Mama prayin’ for her son, tell her love don’t leave,

Tryna turn a lil’ dream to some big boy things.

Yeah, I been on my grind, ain’t no rest for me,

Tryna heal these wounds that they can’t ever see.

Everybody say they real, they pretend to be—

But I learned you only solid if you kept it G.

(Verse 2)

I been tryna find peace, but it’s hard in the Bay,

When the sun go down, all the hope fade away.

Still I’m pushin’ on the gas, ain’t no time I can waste,

’Cause you never know who plottin’ when they smile in your face.

Seen friends turn foes when the money came quick,

Seen love turn cold tryna fix that shit.

But I still show heart even when it get ripped,

’Cause the pain make a boss, I’ma stand on this.

New whips, new checks, but the past still haunt,

Every W I get got a L in the front.

I’m a product of the struggle, but I’m not what they want—

I’m exactly who I needed, and I stand on that front.

(Hook – final)

I came up from them cold nights, city don’t sleep,

Takin’ chances every day, but the risk run deep.

Mama prayin’ for her son, tell her love don’t leave,

Tryna turn a lil’ dream to some big boy things.

Yeah, I been on my grind, ain’t no rest for me,

Tryna heal these wounds that they can’t ever see.

Everybody say they real, they pretend to be—

But I learned you only solid if you kept it G.
