Coldest Town
I don't know why I'm here
Or where I am going anymore
Mama tried to save me from the street war
But I don't need no saviour, yo, I'm good
Yeah, we 'bout to ride hard
If I'm gonna get this paper, then I gotta move slow
Steady, stay ready, 'cause it's worth waitin' for
Daddy up and left when I was a baby
Now I'm the man of the house, yo, life is crazy
All the pretty girls be all on me
They be like, "Langston, don't leave"
But I gotta roll out and chase these dreams
Gotta take what you need, yeah
(Oh) walk like you got a purpose
(Yo) can't let 'em see me nervous
(Oh) 'cause this right here is the coldest town
(You) you can't let it bring you down
And the streets seemed like the only thing to turn to
Dirty money seemed really clean and wit too
It's a jungle, but I'm ready to rumble
My third eye don't close for anyone (anyone)
I, I am coming for what's mine
Oh-oh
(Can't let them see)
Walk like you got a purpose (yo)
Can't let 'em see me nervous (oh, can't help I'm nervous)
'Cause this right here is the coldest town
(You) you can't let it bring you down
You, you, you
You, you, you can't let it bring you down
You, you
You, you, you can't let it bring you down
You, you, you
You, you, you can't let it bring you down
You, you
Or where I am going anymore
Mama tried to save me from the street war
But I don't need no saviour, yo, I'm good
Yeah, we 'bout to ride hard
If I'm gonna get this paper, then I gotta move slow
Steady, stay ready, 'cause it's worth waitin' for
Daddy up and left when I was a baby
Now I'm the man of the house, yo, life is crazy
All the pretty girls be all on me
They be like, "Langston, don't leave"
But I gotta roll out and chase these dreams
Gotta take what you need, yeah
(Oh) walk like you got a purpose
(Yo) can't let 'em see me nervous
(Oh) 'cause this right here is the coldest town
(You) you can't let it bring you down
And the streets seemed like the only thing to turn to
Dirty money seemed really clean and wit too
It's a jungle, but I'm ready to rumble
My third eye don't close for anyone (anyone)
I, I am coming for what's mine
Oh-oh
(Can't let them see)
Walk like you got a purpose (yo)
Can't let 'em see me nervous (oh, can't help I'm nervous)
'Cause this right here is the coldest town
(You) you can't let it bring you down
You, you, you
You, you, you can't let it bring you down
You, you
You, you, you can't let it bring you down
You, you, you
You, you, you can't let it bring you down
You, you
