Cold In My City

[Intro]
Track suit creased
Bank card clean
Came from least
Chase that dream (yeah)

[Verse 1]
Used to count coins in a cafe
Now it’s contactless for the whole plate
Said I’d turn pain into upgrade
Now my ex tryna text on a drunk day
I was outside
Rain on my North Face
Whole hood said “bro
You’re a lost case”
Now I do flights
Mum on a short break
Still same kid
Just stepped with a sore waist
Weight in the pouch
That’s gym talk
Jakes do laps on a spin walk
Talk on my name
That’s kid talk
You ain’t ever prayed that the pin’s wrong
You ain’t ever hugged mum with a stained tee
Lied to her face like “it ain’t me”
Whole block grey
Tryna paint green
Turned one side hustle to a main scene

[Chorus]
Cold in my city but I’m comfy
Came up hungry
Now I’m chunky
They wanna love me
They was on me?
They never helped when it was on me
Cold in my city but I’m cosy (cosy)
Turned all the L’s to a trophy (trophy)
She wanna post me
Say she knows me
But where was you back when it broke me?

[Verse 2]
Still get flashbacks
Council flat
Four in the crib
One box
One mat
One little plug
That’s one group chat
Whole life changed off one good pack
Now it’s VPN on the iPhone
Talk in codes when I type tone
She said “you’re cold
You’re ice cold”
I just blame life on the milestone
Friends went ghost when the case came
Same ones back when the chain came
I don’t say much
Let the bank say
If it ain’t bread
It’s a blank page
Bro got a job
That’s a big flex
Another one stuck in the big text
Judge talk mad with a straight neck
Whole fam pray he can dodge checks (free bro)

[Chorus]
Cold in my city but I’m comfy
Came up hungry
Now I’m chunky
They wanna love me
They was on me?
They never helped when it was on me
Cold in my city but I’m cosy (cosy)
Turned all the L’s to a trophy (trophy)
She wanna post me
Say she knows me
But where was you back when it broke me?
