🔥 [Intro – 0:00–0:10]
(Ad-libs: “Yeah… Ice in my chest... Steel in my walk…”)
Spoken:
Grew up with struggle, so I move with muscle
Ain’t no love in this—just a cold hustle

🔁 [Hook – 0:10–0:34]
This a cold hustle, I ain’t here to play (Nah)
Got it out the mud, had to pave my way (Facts)
Heart on freeze, can’t melt no pain (Cold)
Smile on my face, but I fight all day (War)
Sleep don’t come when the rent still due (Never)
Trust don’t last when the envy grew (Snakes)
Loyalty thin like the lines I cross
Still stand tall through the wins and loss
(Ad-libs fade): Cold hustle... yeah, cold hustle...

💥 [Verse 1 – 0:35–1:16]
Used to have nothin’ but a box and a blade
Now I break bread with the wolves I raised
Tears in the night, but the day get mean
Still keep heat when I rock these jeans
Backdoor vibes when the hate get loud
Smile in my face but they plot in crowds
Mama said pray, but the pain too deep
I ain’t fold once, even starved for weeks
Still show love, but I peep that fake
Still ten toes, never bent, won’t break
Still can’t trust when the hands out wide
Cold in my soul, can’t let that slide
Movin’ in silence, I play that role
Whole lotta scars I don't let get told
Never needed luck, just a plan and grip
Cold hustle made me, I was built for this

🎙️ [Pre-Hook – 1:17–1:28]
(Background vocals + layered echo)
Coldest nights made the strongest mind
You don't sleep when your back’s on the line

🔁 [Hook – 1:29–1:53]
This a cold hustle, I ain’t here to play
Got it out the mud, had to pave my way
Heart on freeze, can’t melt no pain
Smile on my face, but I fight all day
Sleep don’t come when the rent still due
Trust don’t last when the envy grew
Loyalty thin like the lines I cross
Still stand tall through the wins and loss
(Echo ad-libs): Cold hustle... cold hustle...

💥 [Verse 2 – 1:54–2:35]
Bags on my mind, I don’t chase no hype
Life on edge, had to earn these stripes
Pain in my gut, but I move like stone
Cold to the touch, I survive alone
Never been fake, never played no role
Even in the dark, I control my soul
Fast life livin’ with a slow heart beat
I don’t show fear when it’s war in the street
Nigha turn ghost when the time got tight
Opps shaking hands just to dim my light
Whole lotta losses, But I still held ground
Whole lotta smoke, I don’t make no sound
Taught by the streets how to flip that pain
Turned that hurt into ice in my veins
Ain’t no plan B, just plan and hustle
Ain’t no soft love—just cold, just struggle

🎙️ [Pre-Hook – 2:36–2:47]
(Spoken / low vocal layer)
If they fold under pressure, they was never with you
All I got is my word and this cold pistol
---
🔁 [Hook – 2:48–3:13]
This a cold hustle, I ain’t here to play
Got it out the mud, had to pave my way
Heart on freeze, can’t melt no pain
Smile on my face, but I fight all day
Sleep don’t come when the rent still due
Trust don’t last when the envy grew
Loyalty thin like the lines I cross
Still stand tall through the wins and loss
