cold hearted

“Cold Pavement” Hook: Cold pavement where I learned how to stand tall, Sirens in the night, we was dodging every downfall. Pain in my chest, but I never let it show, From the bottom of the map, now they watching how I glow. Verse 1: Cracked sidewalks, mama praying by the window, Empty fridge nights turned a boy to a soldier. Same old block, just a different kind of pressure, Friends turn ghosts when the fast life get colder. Had dreams bigger than the corner store lights, Writing pain in a notebook late night. Every scar on my soul got a story to tell, Came from living in a place where hope don’t sell. They doubted every move, said I wouldn’t be nothing, Now I’m chasing every goal, I ain’t running from nothing. Learned loyalty rare, had to cut off the fake, In the jungle where you smile but it’s snakes in the grass. Hook: Cold pavement where I learned how to stand tall, Sirens in the night, we was dodging every downfall. Pain in my chest, but I never let it show, From the bottom of the map, now they watching how I glow. Verse 2: Lost too many brothers to the streets and the system, Pouring out my thoughts ‘cause the world never listened. Heart full of fire, mind full of vision, Trying to make it out clean from a life full of friction. Grandma said, “Baby, keep faith through the storm,” Even when the rain make the whole world mourn. So I hustle every day like tomorrow ain’t promised, Turn struggle to strength, turn the pain into progress. Now my name ring loud where the doubt used to be, Every step that I take got my past chasing me. But I keep moving forward, never back to them nights, When survival was a gamble and the future wasn’t bright. Hook (Outro): Cold pavement where I learned how to stand tall, Through the darkest of the nights, I survived it all. Pain made me strong, yeah it carved my soul, From the streets to the stars, now I’m chasing my goal. “No Love Outside” Hook: No love outside, just pain in the breeze, Young soul cold, heart numb in the freeze. Sirens keep crying while the night stay loud, Had to stand on my own, couldn’t lean on a crowd. No trust in the streets, everybody disguise, Smile in your face but got hate in they eyes. Came from the mud where the lost ones crawl, Now I’m screaming “we made it” for the ones that fall. Verse 1: Dark alley dreams with the weight on my chest, Trying not to drown while I fight with the stress. Seen real tears fall on concrete floors, Same place we was kids playing tag by the stores. Hunger in my stomach, anger in my veins, Had to learn quick how to survive through the pain. Every closed door made the hunger grow bigger, Turned a quiet little boy to a cold-hearted figure. Nightmares real, I don’t sleep too long, Too many dead faces keep singing my songs. Talking to the sky like “God, you hear me?” ‘Cause the streets too loud and the future unclear. Hook: No love outside, just pain in the breeze, Young soul cold, heart numb in the freeze. Sirens keep crying while the night stay loud, Had to stand on my own, couldn’t lean on a crowd. Verse 2: Lost friends young to a war with no name, Just candles and shirts and a mama in pain. Court dates, jail gates, chains on dreams, Trying to stay clean while I dodge these schemes. I was broke, wearing hope like a faded coat, Now I’m chasing every dollar just to stay afloat. They don’t see the scars ‘cause the smile too wide, But it’s thunder in my soul that I try to hide. Still walking through fire with my head up high, If I fall, tell the world that at least I tried. From the bottom where survival was the only law, Now I’m carving my name in a world that’s raw. Outro Hook: No love outside, but I rose from the dirt, Turned every deep scar to a lesson that hurt. If the streets took me, let the truth be told— I was built from the pain… that made me cold.
