[Verse 1:]
Cold nights trying to make a dollar
Her boyfriend's fist just made her holla
Shawty studying to be a scholar
But he keep losing focus from the sound of that blocker
I pray this old lady don't call the copers
Like she a crime stopper f**ing peep hole watcher
Mama know the way I'm living siri
Bundles in my pocket like I'm carrying stacks obituary
Rest is peace to my slime
Forever one of the doppest of his time
See real n***as do real things, BIG said that
So I live by that 'cause BIG said that
I'm from a place where young n***as don't praise the Lord
They praise the n***a who bust his chopper and move raw
Sound f**ed up but his life though
And I don't know you what you talking about the price for
[Hook:]
Cold nights cold as stair cases
Going hard where I'm from that's just a clear basics
Cold nights cold as stair cases
I don't know which is worse the snitch of the statement
Cold nights cold as stair cases
Cold nights cold as stair cases
Going hard where I'm from that's just a clear basics
[Verse 2:]
Pray for me 'cause I ain't trying to get court
Only thing I hate more than her period is going to court
n***a, we grind out till the work done
And that grind going over time till when the first come
Dutch guts on the steps five blunts in rotation
Who is go to next
Typical hood sh**
She like what you smoking on I'm like that good sh**
Every hussler in my world pray for a good flip
Wake up hit the bank bust a check with a good lick
They say tomorrow ain't promise so I'm on it today
My daughter gotta eat, f** what you have to say
Cold nights cold as staircases moving sh**
I show you real harlem nights no sh** going quick
Lil n***a got 25 before he turned 20
Now his so called homie f**ing his girl, how friendly
[Hook:]
Cold nights cold as stair cases
Going hard where I'm from that's just a clear basics
Cold nights cold as stair cases
I don't know which is worse the snitch of the statement
Cold nights cold as stair cases
Cold nights cold as stair cases
Going hard where I'm from that's just a clear basics
