Akala – Cold Lyrics
Lyrics
- 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
