[Verse 1]
I came up where the cold bite hard
Concrete dreams and a cracked front yard
They talk tough, but they fold too quick
I been in that storm, I was built for this
Same old blocks, new smoke in the air
Red on the curb, I don't ever act scared
Mind like a blade when the room go quiet
I don't need luck, I been made by riots
Backseat plans with the map half torn
Mama prayed hard while the rent stayed worn
Now they want peace when the score get hot
I want truth in the face of a lie they got
One phone ring, whole mood switch quick
I don't blink twice, I don't miss my grip
If I say it's up, then it's up for real
I been in the dark and I know that feel
[Pre-Chorus]
Keep it low
Move like a ghost
One wrong step and the whole block knows
Hear that hum
Feel that cold
I'm too far in to let it go
[Chorus]
Cold block code
Cold block code
Say less, move
Cold block code
Cold block code
We don't fold, we don't fold
(Cold block code)
Cold block code
[Verse 2]
Talk slick, but your hands too soft
Your whole big story got a fake-ass gloss
I was in the cut with the pain on loop
Counted every loss, then I turned it into proof
Three missed calls, I was gone all day
Had to feed that fire, had to find my way
Old school fear in a brand new coat
Still hear my name when the wind hit low
I don't chase clout, I chase that check
And I keep my word when I break that neck
Every little doubt get crushed in the lane
I put ice in my stare, not a smile, not a chain
If they want smoke, I bring tenfold back
Every scar on my skin got a code in that
I'm too deep now, can't switch my route
Built from the mud, let the whole world pout
[Bridge]
One step in, then the room go thin
I seen fake love fold and the fake kings spin
I don't need much, just a clear-eyed view
And a cold hard truth when I walk on through
[Chorus]
Cold block code
Cold block code
Say less, move
Cold block code
Cold block code
We don't fold, we don't fold
(Cold block code)
Cold block code
[Outro]
Yeah, I learned that lesson in the bitter wind
If it's real, it stays when the pressure in
Cold block code
Cold block code
