Cold World
Intro – hushed, ominous] Yeah… Cold city, quiet prayer… Some wars you fight alone with God watchin’. [Verse 1 ] The air cold, angels whisper when the street tempt Every urge a test sent, flesh want what it can’t get City breathe sin, neon signs preach release But restraint is my weapon, I don’t hand power to weak Cargo pants light, not spillin’ my essence They dump energy daily, still beggin’ for blessings I guard what was given, I steward the flame If God breathed it in me, I don’t spill it for gain Rats in a hurry, everybody tryna eat But famine of spirit got ‘em starvin’ in the streets Scriptures in my head louder than desire “He who rules himself is stronger than a warrior” Pressure rise, I don’t fold, I transmute Pain turn purpose when the Lord refines you Everybody want pleasure, nobody want truth But discipline the road where the few get through [Hook – dark, prayer-like] Cold world, but I don’t move careless God over flesh, yeah, I walk with awareness I don’t release for a moment I consecrate for the calling What I hold becomes power When I give it back to God [Verse 2 – internal rhymes, spiritual warfare] Temptation knock like it pay rent Same demon, new suit, same intent They say “everybody do it,” yeah, I know That’s why everybody tired and spiritually broke I fast from impulse, train my discipline Lust tryna tax me, I don’t negotiate with it They chase relief, I chase alignment God don’t rush souls, He refine ‘em Every urge resisted stackin’ interest Spirit over body, this a long investment I don’t need release, I need resurrection Die daily to self—that’s real perfection They leak life force then pray for strength I preserve mine, that’s obedience When nights get long and the flesh get loud I kneel down low, don’t let pride get proud [Hook – layered, darker] Cold world, but I stay centered Mind on God when the flesh get desperate I don’t spill it for the feeling I submit it for the mission Power multiply when I put my discipline in Him [Bridge – spoken, almost sermon-like] Every urge ain’t meant to be obeyed Every desire ain’t from God Some things are holy because you withhold them [Verse 3 – reflective close] World charge admission just to feel alright But peace don’t cost, it require surrender Strong spirit forged in the quiet remember I been walkin’ blocks where I used to fall Now temptation pass me, I barely look at all Not ‘cause I’m fearless—‘cause I fear God That’s the kind of fear make weak habits dissolve I was built to create, not compulsively drain Seed meant for future, not momentary gain So I hold it, I pray, I let purpose ignite Chosen ain’t loud—it’s controlled and precise [Outro – soft, reverent] Yeah… Cold city… Warm spirit… God first. Always.
