[Intro]

Racks on racks, [?]


[?]

My family warm, my city is cold

Stuck to the plan and I never did fold


[Verse 1]

The baby is growin', I'm buyin' a field

I'm walkin' a throne, I'm still in my feels

But nobody knows, I shiver with chills

I'm rockin' a boat, the watch that I own is Everose Gold

I live in the hills like Drizzy or Cole

The pain in my heart has never been told

My family warm, my city is cold

The life that I live has never been shown

A star on a pitch, a rapper at home

I'm cashin' the checks, the diamonds are froze

You see the deals and you see all the hoes

But nobody sees all the work on the roads

I coulda just stopped, I didn't, I rose

Now it's just sold out venues, fifty for doin' a show

I never could know that this was thе path my Jesus had chose

Lost all my faith and it took all its toll

Stuck in a drought, my confidencе low

All of the money I had nearly blown

Bills kept comin' and comin' and comin' and comin'

One day, I was offered a loan

The devil would free all my stresses and groans

Bless me with money, the house and the Rolls

But one thing he said was he wanted my soul

God in my heart, must've said no

Stuck to the plan and I never did fold

Prayed for forgiveness, the life I was livin' was killin'

And eatin' my conscience as own

Pain in my heart has never been told

My family warm, my city is cold


[Chorus]

Ooh, shit tucked, rose clock, fold up

No trust, fake love, fake spud

VVs on me (Me), CCs on she (She)

Cold breeze, cold breeze

Devil's playin' on me (Mm)

Baby angels I need (I need)

I'll be pushin' that P

One push, no keys

Straight cash, no knees

Cold home, cold street

My city's cold


[Verse 2]

Sinners, we open the door, can we chill with the winners?

Hungry and poor like the dirty gorillas

Weak at the core and they're eatin' our dinners

Show no remorse for the paper they bring us

Twenty-first century, they're callin' us niggas

Gangs on the street with the blow and the dingers

And this is the life that we live, so we live with resent

I'm one step away like a five-a-side pen

Weak at the knees, the tackles that scarred

The few that had left, they're closin' the clubs

And openin' jails for the youth

I see but I choose to forget

Free in the mind, I'm the essence like Tems

Paintin' a picture, the culture is dead

Most of the time, all we want is respect

Chance for community, more opportunity

Love and the peace, Black and the whites all in unity

Less RIPs on the tees

All of my bros, they're sent through the world all alone

I'm here, drop a text if you need

New and in balanced, Black, so I'm reppin' the scene

Like Saka or even Raheem

Stop all the jealousy, envy and greed

Said at the start, the baby is grown

I'm buyin' a field, I'm walkin' the throne

I'm still in my feels, but nobody knows

I shiver with chills, I'm rockin' the boat

Watch that I own, it's Everose Gold

I live in the hills, like Drizzy or Cole

Pain in my heart has never been told

My family warm, my city is cold
