🎤 “Cold Streets, Warm Heart”
(Verse 1)
Yo, I came up where the rain never really stops,
Dreams in my head but my pockets full of rocks,
Mama working late just to keep on the lights,
I was learning early how to fight for my rights.
Cold nights, no heat, we were breathing frost,
Every penny mattered ‘cause we counted the cost,
Friends in the hood, some got lost to the game,
Others just faded, nobody the same.
(Hook)
Hard life, but I still keep movin’,
Even when the pain hit, I ain’t losin’,
These scars on my soul, yeah, they cut deep,
But the fire in my heart’s something I still keep.
Hard life, hard road, I still ride,
Through the storm, through the rain, I survive,
I been down, I been broke, but I rise,
You can’t kill a dreamer with a real drive.
(Verse 2)
I seen hunger turn friends into strangers,
Seen trust break down, life full of dangers,
Every choice feels like rolling them dice,
One wrong move and you pay with your life.
But I ain’t folding, nah, I’m built too tough,
I done crawled through dirt, I done slept in the rough,
Turn the pain into verses, the verses into hope,
Let the beat be the rope when I’m learning to cope.
(Hook)
Hard life, but I still keep movin’,
Even when the pain hit, I ain’t losin’,
These scars on my soul, yeah, they cut deep,
But the fire in my heart’s something I still keep.
Hard life, hard road, I still ride,
Through the storm, through the rain, I survive,
I been down, I been broke, but I rise,
You can’t kill a dreamer with a real drive.
(Outro)
So here’s to the ones still fightin’ in the dark,
With a spark in their chest and a lion in their heart,
We don’t quit, nah, we build from the pain,
We turn the struggle into gold, and dance in the rain.
