Cold Pavement [Intro] Yeah… Cold nights… Empty pockets… Heavy mind… Still breathing… ⸻ [Verse 1] Concrete raised me, pressure made the steel, Learned young the streets don’t care how you feel. Every handshake came with hidden intent, Every dollar gone before it ever got spent. Seen loyalty disappear over pride, Had to learn real fast who was down to ride. Some chased clout, some folded for a name, I kept my mouth shut and survived the game. Never feared hunger, I feared staying broke, Dreams weighed heavy like the smoke I choked. You can judge me from the stories that you hear, But you weren’t standing where I stood those years. ⸻ [Hook] Ride or die… No excuses. Head high… Keep moving. No handouts… No mercy. Built from the bottom… Now they gotta see me. ⸻ [Verse 2] City kept testing every move I made, Smiles in my face while they sharpened blades. Everybody talking when you’re on the climb, Nobody around when you’re doing time. I don’t wear pain like it’s fashion now, I just keep stacking every brick somehow. Every scar on me paid another debt, I’m still alive—that’s my biggest flex. ⸻ [Verse 3] I don’t chase legends, I become my own. Built every step without a silver throne. If tomorrow calls, I’m already there, Heart made of iron, soul beyond repair. The road stays long, but the tank stays full, Mind stays sharp when the nights turn cruel. If they write my story, let the record say, I never let the darkness take my name. ⸻ [Outro] Real ones don’t speak loud… They just survive… Fade…
