Cold Heart, Hot Engine KBR

New York drill and Philly drill fused with bro-country, country rock, hip-hop and trap; polished modern production places low, dark lower-register vocals upfront, with layered harmonies widening the choruses; ringing six-string electric guitars lead heavy sliding 808s, punchy drill drums, sharp hi-hats, minor-key piano and powerful bass; driving drill bounce; deep gritty male vocals with a raspy melodic country edge deliver rhythmic rap verses, then a powerful full-voice belt on huge catchy melodic choruses, aggressive drill breaks and explosive country-rock bridges

[TITLE: COLD HEART, HOT ENGINE]

[INTRO]
Yeah...
Ayy, let that six-string ring
808 underneath that engine
Some things you can't outrun
But you can leave 'em in the dust

[VERSE 1]
Blacktop burning, got the wheels in motion
Too many miles and a heart full of oceans
Small-town blood with a city-state mind
Learned real quick how to leave things behind

I don't need saving, I don't need a hand
Built my foundation out of broken plans
Got a little fire that I can't explain
And a whole lot of miles running through my veins

I've seen good hearts turn into stone
Seen people change when the money gets grown
I keep my word, never sell my name
If you stand for nothing, you got nothing to claim

[PRE-CHORUS]
Don't tell me the road's gonna be easy
Don't tell me the world owes me a thing
I've got a little fire underneath me
And a whole lot of fight in my bloodstream

[CHORUS]
COLD HEART, HOT ENGINE
Got these wheels turning, got no reason
To look back, to slow down
I was born to make my own way out

COLD HEART, HOT ENGINE
Still got dreams and a tank full of reasons
Let that six-string scream tonight
If the road gets rough, I'm alright

Cold heart, hot engine
Yeah, I'm still breathing

[POST-CHORUS]
Ride, ride
Let the whole world see
Ride, ride
Ain't no stopping me

Cold heart!
Hot engine!
Yeah!

[VERSE 2]
New York pressure with a backroad soul
Philly drums hit when the bass gets low
Six-string talking while the headlights shine
Got a little more grit than the average guy

I don't chase people, I don't chase fame
I don't need a crowd just to know my name
Every wrong turn taught me something new
Every closed door showed me what to do

I've been counted out, I've been underestimated
Had a few good things get complicated
But I don't fold when the weather gets bad
I turn that pain into the best I've had

[DRILL BREAK]
Look!

No fear!
No doubt!
Ten toes!
Riding out!

Hard roads!
Long nights!
Big dreams!
Still fight!

808 knock, let the guitar ring
Whole damn town gonna hear that thing
From the city blocks to the county line
Cold heart, hot engine, built to ride!

[CHORUS]
COLD HEART, HOT ENGINE
Got these wheels turning, got no reason
To look back, to slow down
I was born to make my own way out

COLD HEART, HOT ENGINE
Still got dreams and a tank full of reasons
Let that six-string scream tonight
If the road gets rough, I'm alright

[BRIDGE — COUNTRY ROCK]
I've had my share of empty roads
Carried more than anybody knows
But every scar and every mile
Made me who I am inside

I don't need the world to understand
I just need the strength to take a stand
And when that morning sun comes through
I'll still be riding, still be true

[FINAL CHORUS]
COLD HEART, HOT ENGINE
Hear that thunder underneath me breathing
No looking back, no slowing down
I'm still standing on this ground

COLD HEART, HOT ENGINE
Got a full tank and a reason for believing
Let that six-string scream tonight
I was made for this kind of life

COLD HEART!
HOT ENGINE!
Yeah, I'm still breathing!

[OUTRO]
Six-string fading...
808 still knocking...
Backroads to the boroughs...
