Cold Ain’t New to Me

Yeah…

Alexander Capálot

Still here

Still breathing

⸻

Cold ain’t new to me, pain like routine

I been outside where they buryin’ dreams

Heart got scars that’ll never be seen

Smile on my face, but I’m grindin’ between

Every L came with a secret blessing

Every friend turned lesson

Had to learn who to keep, who to dead quick

Now I move like I’m destined

⸻

They doubted me once, I ain’t givin’ no second shot

Put my life in these verses — I been through a lot

Ain’t no handouts, I bled for this plot

Now the same ones hatin’ just watchin’ me pop

⸻

Cold ain’t new to me

I walk through fire, I ain’t lose my feet

Tired of people just usin’ me

Now I write pain with fluency

No, I ain’t fold, I grew to be

Somethin’ they said I’d never see

I don’t chase love, I choose to breathe

Cold ain’t new to me

⸻

I was down bad, couldn’t even vent

Felt like God just watchin’ me bent

Now I talk truth, no need to pretend

Got demons I buried, not makin’ amends

They want the fame but not the weight

They want peace but swim with snakes

Me, I built from all the breaks

Turned the hate into somethin’ great

⸻

Now they call when the light on me

But where was they when the night on me?

Had to learn how to fight lonely

Had to learn how to write lonely

⸻

Cold ain’t new to me

I walk through fire, I ain’t lose my feet

Tired of people just usin’ me

Now I write pain with fluency

No, I ain’t fold, I grew to be

Somethin’ they said I’d never see

I don’t chase love, I choose to breathe

Cold ain’t new to me
