Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah
Still here
Still hungry (uh)
Listen
[Verse 1]
Hoodie on, same block
Cold wind through the bus stop
Mama prayin' that the storm stop
I just learned how to duck shots
Late rent, late calls
Landlord trippin' on the missed logs
My cousin caught up in that pitfall
I been tryna build a way out, brick wall
Phone screen crack, but it still glow
Timeline flexin', they in silk clothes
I was in the kitchen with a chipped bowl
Turnin' all this pressure into sick flows (yeah)
[Chorus]
It get cold in my city, but I stay hot
Turn the pain into flames, watch the page pop
Came up, no handouts, just a brave heart
If they ever count me out, I just restart
Cold in my city, but I stay hot
Turn the cuts into crowns when the beat drop
They can try to shut the gate, I just break locks
Cold world, but I walk it like a straight shot (straight shot)
[Verse 2]
New day, same grind
Still see sirens in the daytime
Lil bro askin' if the chain shine
Told him "Nah, it’s in your brain, shine" (for real)
Grandma Bible on the desk chair
Next to the scale and the best prayer
Homies split sides like the web there
I just keep my circle small as a chest flare
Coach said I wouldn't see the next year
Teacher said I wouldn't leave the west here
Now they gotta watch me from the best tier
I been writin' every doubt in the sweat here
[Chorus]
It get cold in my city, but I stay hot
Turn the pain into flames, watch the page pop
Came up, no handouts, just a brave heart
If they ever count me out, I just restart
Cold in my city, but I stay hot
Turn the cuts into crowns when the beat drop
They can try to shut the gate, I just break locks
Cold world, but I walk it like a straight shot (yeah)
