Cold Ones

[Intro] Get 'em Bro Yeah [Verse] Uh From the mud Where I came from Rain poured Pain don't last But the pain sure So my aim sure Told you Nig ah Came with my main thang Who you with? We don't do no small change Cool We rich Told 'em "Hit my damn line if you try and get rich" Uh Cold ones on the porch Of course Cool breeze in the wind Fresh-cut lawn Auntie on the way I got a few plates gone Playin' Badu I'm just tryna write songs Got a cousin out in Texas And he goin' for the 'Boys Shout out to the H Baby I'm a Colt boy Mama hit my line and told me "Make a lil' noise" I just hit the gas and the engine start to roar We was tryna score like "4th & 4" Hut one Hut two Hut three Like "Hike" Put the right things in my life I'm nice Please don't try to treat me like Mike I'm Ike Might've just jumped off the bike On my pedal Pushin' for the top I'm pushin' for a medal Always was a star They don't put me on the channel Took a lil' break But I'm still on schedule I still make magic Uh Give 'em cold classics Uh I still write verses Uh I still serve the masses Lames want access Nah Swag still nasty Yuck I still rap great Yeah I still rap good Uh Still ride foreign Gettin' to the bag in the early mornin' If I said I love you Then I swore it Told me take my time And then I poured it Took a little trip And then I floored it Put me on the list with the legends Got a few questions God Why they treat us like peasants? I know that I'm special Ah Why you go against the grain? Why you entertain all the lames? Ah [Chorus] Cold ones, cold ones Posted where the road runs Cold ones, cold ones Boy, you better know somethin' We been in the field Now it's time to show up Hands to the sky Yeah, we came to blow up [Verse 2] Ayy I was out here learnin' lessons in the dark Where the lights low Heart cold But the mind slow Now I'm movin' like I know where the signs go Mama prayed for me Now look how the time go Late nights Early flights Then the day come Bad vibes We don't need none Stay runnin' From the same place Now they say somethin' Went from back row To the front and I ain't say nothin' Gold in my teeth when I grin, that's a symbol Old friends changed on me Now the circle gettin' simple If it ain't about growth Then the convo too little I been buildin' up a wave Let it ripple, let it ripple Still got the cold ones, still got the drive Still got the fire even when the temps dive If the whole world watchin' Ima still shine Tell 'em I'ma do it till the day that I retire [Chorus] Cold ones, cold ones Posted where the road runs Cold ones, cold ones Boy, you better know somethin' We been in the field Now it's time to show up Hands to the sky Yeah, we came to blow up [Verse 3] Ayy Now the pressure on my back but I don't fold though Everything I touch got a little bit of gold glow Had to keep it real I don't do the fake flex Same soul, same goals I just set the pace next Big dreams, small sleep That's the trade-off Been there, done that Took the pain and paid off If you hear my name now It came from the basement Started with a spark Now the whole team racin' Shorty said she like the way I move when I'm focused I told her, "Keep up" This a different kind of motion We don't do the talkin' We just make 'em notice And if they want smoke Tell 'em come and get the whole clip Yeah Cold ones in the cup But the heart still warm Storm after storm Still I transform From the dirt to the dream Now we break norms Standin' on the business In the same form [Chorus] Cold ones, cold ones Posted where the road runs Cold ones, cold ones Boy, you better know somethin' We been in the field Now it's time to show up Hands to the sky Yeah, we came to blow up [Verse 4] I ain't never had it easy Had to make it from the nothin' Now they see me Everybody say they love me But it's funny how they switch When the money make it ugly I keep it tucked away Blessings in the pipeline Watch me in my prime time Way past the sidelines Cold world, still I got a warm heart Played my part Now it's time that the awards start I been in the lab with the vision and the cadence Every line calculated Every move been patient So when I step in, it's a statement No replacement Whole city on my back And I wear it with assurance Tell 'em I been workin' till the sunrise No fear in my eyes I was born for the run-by If the doubt come around I just let the truth talk Cold ones, cold ones Watch me when I walk [Bridge] Ayy From the rain to the shine From the hurt to the rise I been carryin' the weight Still I kept my head high If they don't understand Let 'em watch from the side I was built for the cold Now I'm burnin' inside [Final Chorus] Cold ones, cold ones Posted where the road runs Cold ones, cold ones Boy, you better know somethin' We been in the field Now it's time to show up Hands to the sky Yeah, we came to blow up Cold ones, cold ones Yeah, we came to blow up Cold ones, cold ones Yeah, we came to blow up [Outro] Look Just get out my way 'cause I got the plays I know that I know that
