Cold Blood
They say reptiles run it, suits with the scales Backroom heat lamps, diplomatic tails I’m like “okay,” sip juice, lean back in my chair ’Cause my sister got an iguana and I’m calm over there He just blinks slow, tongue out, mindin’ his biz If that’s the blueprint, I can live with the fizz Y’all act like every lizard got a plan for your soul But I held one on my shoulder, didn’t lose control So if a overlord pull up with a crown and a glare I’ll be like “nice skin, bro—what’s good in the air?” I ain’t scared of cold eyes or a hiss in the dark I’m more scared of paperwork and rent that don’t park They want you shook, they want you small But I seen calm in a terrarium wall If the truth got scales, cool—let it slide I’ll talk real smooth with my hands open wide I’m cool—(you cold) You cold—(I’m bold) If you run the world, then show me the code I’m cool—(you cold) You cold—(I’m bold) I ain’t bowin’ down, I’m just askin’ what’s old Cold blood, warm laugh, I don’t freeze, I don’t fold Cold blood, warm laugh—yeah, I’m cool with the cold They whisper “shapeshift,” I’m like “shape this beat” Catch me in the kitchen makin’ scales look sweet If you got a secret base, let me see the snack bar I heard y’all like heat rocks and a fancy cigar I’m jokin’, but listen—the fear be a cage Same story, new mask, different costume on stage They sell panic by the gallon, keep you glued to the screen While the real-life villains keep their hands washed clean So if it’s reptiles, cool, I’ll respect the craft But if it’s humans in a costume, that’s the bigger laugh Either way, I’m steady, I’m not runnin’ away I survived family cookouts—try me any day “Unverified.” “Unclear.” “High probability… of nonsense.” Then the drums come back like, “who’s in here?” I’m cool—(you cold) You cold—(I’m bold) If you run the world, then show me the code I’m cool—(you cold) You cold—(I’m bold) I ain’t bowin’ down, I’m just askin’ what’s old Cold blood, warm laugh, I don’t freeze, I don’t fold Cold blood, warm laugh—yeah, I’m cool with the cold Maybe the monster ain’t scales in the suit Maybe it’s fear in the room, wearin’ you cute So I pet the paranoia like “settle down, friend” If an iguana can chill, I can breathe to the end If they want my awe, they gotta earn my respect I don’t worship shadows—I just check what’s next “Stay calm…” “Cold blood…” “Open the file…” “I’m cool…” I’m cool—(you cold) You cold—(I’m bold) If you run the world, then show me the code Cold blood, warm laugh, I don’t freeze, I don’t fold Tell your council I said: “I can handle the cold.”
