Cold Lyrics

Cold by Akala

• Can I take you back for a minute
• Its not just lyrics
• I live it im spillin my spirit
• On the beat like streets cold as blizzards
• Late night drownin' my sorrow in a bottle of spirits
• Was a sweet child, that characters missing 
• No trace, now it's bora in coat and screw face
• Colder, soldier, angry young male
• Don't ask how, you already know the tale
• Never lived with my father
• Nasty break up with my mum and her partner
• And of course, times was harder,
• Moms did her best with the strength she could muster,
• But she so stressed it was us that would suffer
• Plus school teachers hate me, say that im feisty
• Play all kinda mind games to try break me
• Helped turn a innocent kid, into a ignorant pig,
• Fuck em anyway, I still got straight A's
• Winter was real, no gas
• I went to bed in full clothing
• Back when my world was closing in and mom was sick
• I can't explain the pain when the news came
• Sorta like the blizzard that came after the rain
• My mind was a prison, I visioned the worst
• Ran home from school, wanted to get there 
• Didn't want either of my sisters, to find first what I pictured
• Moms was too strong, she just soldiered on
• Dad, I ain't mad,
• Don't think I don't understand,
• But I still had to learn how to be a man,
• Standing on my own two, not the way you supposed to,
• Funny how the cycle repeats,
• Nobody showed you, 
• Wouldn't believe I told you what I had to go through,
• Pressure couldn't fold me, but turnt my heart cold G,
• What don't kill you make you strong supposedly,
• That must be why nobody can hold me.
• Yeah I had a struggle, but really its sugar-coated,
• When you think of all the millions barely 
• living and hopeless,
• In the news Mother and child, bellies bloated,
• Put yourself in their shoes, knowin' death is approachin,
• But its not fate, its bait, they were thrown in
• The deep end of the endless ocean of mans sin
• Politics, religion, man philosophise,
• Got technology and television,
• Still don't know why the worlds a weight 
• on top of your shoulders,
• But we fold up, true we can't hold up them boulders
• I been through the shit, but came out like roses
• I'm blessed, don't ever think I don't notice,
• I know I got a path, but it's hard to stay focused
• Specially on these roads, where foes are like roaches
• Foul and I crush em and I won't even notice
• If I lose my way, I just want you to know this
