South Nights

If you ain't cold, then you will fold
If you ain't cold, then you will fold
If you ain't cold, then you will fold
If you ain't cold, then you will fold

Big homie told me pain was progress
I've been locked in my room, thinking that is nonsense
If love is a game then I'm a novice
Must have fell from heaven when I lost a goddess
Plotting how I'm a prophet
Make you regret the day that you left, I lost it
Blank stares thinking they all gossip
Like do I stack up?
Pondering the nonsense
This not what I'm used to
Life's so surreal, like I'm watching it on YouTube
In my own world, only looking straight through you
See myself in the mirror, got me wondering like who you?
I don't know no more
I don't wanna go no more
I just wanna stay at home
I don't wanna cope no more
I just wanna smoke some more

Sipping liquor, reminiscing
Missing your hugging and kissing
To your memory, I'm addicted
If love is blind, my eyes tinted
Sipping liquor, reminiscing
Missing your hugging and kissing
To your memory, I'm addicted
If love is blind, my eyes tinted

Caught blinking
Life could change in an instant
Caught blinking
Lifeless while I'm thinking
Caught blinking
Now I'm wishing things were different
Caught blinking
Tell me what's real and what isn't

Told homeboy shit's real and I'll only say it once
Ain't no guarantees in this life
You gotta take it as it comes
In the strip club throwing ones
In a foggy head space set to match
All the smoke in my lungs
Kicking back while 'em drums play uh
I'll get it right maybe one day
But for now I'm in the wind
Doing sixty down a one way
I use to think it was pain or progress
Come to find out that the pain was progress
Like it's one in the same
Use to hear my old head
Thought that he had nothing to say
But he was schooling me
Put me onto game, I later found out
Keep your friends tight
Big circles never round out
Militant buzz, sound off to get the sound out huh
Now, what it do?
Got a girl problem? Man, that's nothing new
Need a few more? My man, they coming through
Sounds a bit deep like
Like, what is one to do?
And I get that
Pain is good, don't forget that
This life moves on, don't get left back
And when it's all done, then that's that
Just let it go

Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

I use to think love and life were simple
No topic we can't talk through as long as we both civil
Simple in practice, not so much when dealing with reactions
The opposite of love is never hate, just true inaction
Sitting back wondering where it all went south
This life is a trip, I just hope it, all pans out
In the end, it's all a blur
We make the most, and watch it go
Take the time out when we can, all in hopes that time would slow
What a difference a moment makes
A world of difference in any case
When the right words are sputtered out before the moment's too late
Before the sun sets, before you settle for less
Before you go ignore the weight sitting upon your chest
I've come to realize the world of ease is overrated
After all what is a peak without a sense you finally made it?
After all what is a handout when you know you shoulda waited?
After all what is a win if you're not here to celebrate it?
