Cold Nights

Cold nights, dark roads, heart made of stone

I don’t trust love, I trust what I own

Fast life, slow sleep, phone never off

They smile in my face but pray that I fall

Cold nights, dark roads, blood in my tone

Came from the bottom, built me a throne

No handouts, no hope, just pain and pride

I walk through the fire, no fear in my eyes

Mama said “pray”, I said “watch me grind”

Had nothing but hunger and thoughts on my mind

Same ones who laughed wanna eat at my plate

But loyalty rare, yeah, that shit don’t age

Street lights glow when I’m riding alone

Demons in my head, but my face still cold

I learned real quick who real, who fake

When your pockets empty, they change their face

Knife in my back, but I smile again

Turned all my scars into diamonds and gems

I don’t talk much, I let silence speak

Every move planned, yeah, I barely sleep

Cold nights, dark roads, heart made of stone

I don’t trust love, I trust what I own

Fast life, slow sleep, phone never off

They smile in my face but pray that I fall

Brother in jail, told me “don’t waste time”

Life too short, gotta chase that shine

I seen good kids turn lost in the street

Same corner, different fate, same concrete

No hero story, just blood and rain

Every win came wrapped in pain

I don’t need friends, I need respect

Cross that line, you won’t hear regrets

Money talks loud, but silence louder

Moved so clean, they call me a ghost

Heart so numb, I feel no closure

Only trust God and the road I chose

Cold nights made me who I am

No tears left, just a master plan

If I fall, I fall on my feet

From the dark to the throne — remember me
