Colder

Rest in peace to my dog and my fallen soldiers Fightin' demons everyday my heart getting colder Got the weight of the world restin' on my shoulders Not gettin' any younger only gettin' older Now I’m at top tryna hold my head up high Wonder where my peoples at, know they somewhere in the sky All these L’s I took made me numb, I can’t even cry With my skin and my gender, gotta wipe my own eyes When the club dies down, and the party’s over Everyone’s gone, now you all alone and sober Gotta be your own rock, strong like a boulder Stand up, face the world, gotta keep composure And they’ll say they understand, But you know they really don’t If you hanging by a strand They gon' leave you all alone Struggles of a black man Makes you grow a back bone At the same time nowhere really feels like home Can’t rely on one another And I think that’s really sad We supposed to be brothers Coming from different dads Niggas kill each other everyday It’s become a fad It’s a shame it’s annoying Like a YouTube ad But I’m here to make a stand Cause I know that we better We the sons of kings We are strong, we are clever And it’s time to show the world That we really are a treasure Motto for 2020 is Apply more pressure Rest in peace to my dog and my fallen soldiers Fightin' demons everyday my heart gettin' colder Got the weight of the world restin' on my shoulders Not gettin' any younger only gettin' older Now I’m at top tryna hold my head up high Wonder where my peoples at, know they somewhere in the sky All these L’s I took made me numb, I can’t even cry With my skin and my gender, gotta wipe my own eyes Hope you resting well Lauryn, you was gone too soon Same thing with my boy Nick, hit me like a typhoon Life changed so changed so suddenly after high school Wish I could turn back time to a lotta afternoons At Dallas’s crib with the squad we was lit Broke bread countless times, bought some food that we’d split Now my town’s like a shell, yeah I gotta admit When I think of what it used to be it’s hurts a little bit I owe it to parents cause they really raised me right I never back down no I’m not afraid to fight The music is my wings and I wanna take flight My city’s goes left, but I wanna live right I busted my ass workin' hella long nights Tired from the grind, hope my future is bright Cold world, protect yourself from the frostbite At the end of the day, we gon' be alright Rest in peace to my dog and my fallen soldiers Fightin' demons everyday my heart gettin' colder Got the weight of the world restin' on my shoulders Not gettin' any younger only gettin' older Now I’m at top tryna hold my head up high Wonder where my peoples at, know they somewhere in the sky All these L’s I took made me numb I can’t even cry With my skin and my gender, gotta wipe my own eyes
