[Verse 1]
Woke up
Steam on my mind
But the tap run ice this time
Pot on the stove
Flame don’t rise
Kids at the table with tired eyes
You send a letter
Not a man
“Check your policy
It’s in the plan”
How you sleep so soft and fine
While we boil rage in borrowed time
[Pre-Chorus]
You tell me “that’s just business”
Like my comfort don’t count as witness
We pay on the first
You forget us by the third
Guess our pain ain’t worth a word
[Chorus]
Cold showers
Cold company
You rich off our misery
You cut the gas
Then you cut the phone
Say we should’ve had some cover of our own
Cold showers
Cold company
But this block got harmony
We sing your name in every prayer we say
‘Cause karma got a bill on the way (on the way)
[Verse 2]
Elders wrapped in winter coats
Breath in the kitchen
See the smoke
You post photos of fancy halls
We line buckets down these halls
We call
You say “it’s in the lease”
Like a clause gon’ give us peace
You pass blame like you pass the buck
But this heat you dodging
You gon’ feel it stuck
[Pre-Chorus]
You tell me “that’s just business”
While my baby shivers in the distance
We signed for a roof
Not a frost in every room
Still you bloom while we consume
[Chorus]
Cold showers
Cold company
You rich off our misery
You cut the gas
Then you cut the phone
Say we should’ve had some cover of our own
Cold showers
Cold company
But this block got harmony
We sing your name in every prayer we say
‘Cause karma got a bill on the way (yeah, yeah)
[Bridge]
We light the candles
Share the rice (share the rice)
Turn this hallway to paradise (paradise)
You got the papers
We got the proof
Every icy drop drippin’ truth
[Chorus]
Cold showers
Cold company
You rich off our misery
You cut the gas
Then you cut the phone
Say we should’ve had some cover of our own
Cold showers
Cold company
But this block got harmony
We dance in the dark ‘til the break of day
‘Cause love bring the heat anyway (anyway)
