Cold Nights, Hard Times

Yeah…

Ain’t no love in the block, just pain in the wind,

Had to fight for my soul, just to lose it again…

(Verse 1)

I was raised in the dark where the sirens hum,

Where the pain don’t fade and the silence numb,

Lost bro to the streets, man, my mind go dumb,

Tryna smile in the mirror but I can’t play dumb.

Mama prayin’ every night, “Lord save my son,”

But the streets got grip, yeah, I can’t outrun,

Got scars in my chest, that’s a war I won,

Still feel cold when I face that sun.

(Hook)

I’m from where the tears turn to tattoos,

Dreams die fast, ain’t no pass-through,

Life hit hard, yeah, it smashed you,

Heart made of stone, can’t attach, fool.

(Verse 2)

Every night feel long, every day feel dead,

Tryna sleep but the pain still talk in my head,

Seen my dawg in the box, now he talk to the feds,

Trust gone broke, now I walk with lead.

I don’t fear no man, but I fear my thoughts,

Every L that I took was a lesson I caught,

Used to pray for peace, now I pray I’m not caught,

In a world so cold, loyalty gets bought.

(Hook)

I’m from where the tears turn to tattoos,

Dreams die fast, ain’t no pass-through,

Life hit hard, yeah, it smashed you,

Heart made of stone, can’t attach, fool.

(Outro)

Yeah… the block don’t hug you back,

It just test who break, who snap, who trap,

I been down bad but I still adapt,

Heart full of pain, but I spit real rap.
