[Intro]
Yo, I feel like I'm home, I wanna welcome you, to a place I've very familiar with
Everybody get up! Everybody get up! Yeah, the winter!
[Verse 1: The Audible Doctor]
Where the frost freeze like police shouting at innocent teens
And the block seems to settle looking barren as the trees
That's where I'm from where lungs get stung from a brisk breeze
Cut your inhale short and get that shaking in your knees
I watch the sky fall and look at the place that raised me
Through the snow I rose out the earth to break free
And as I struggle through the layers of ice a raised seed
I could never forget all the advice that made me
They told me reach for the sun and follow your dreams
Cuz though they gonna chop you down go 'head and sprout a new leaf
And though they build over it now there still be cracks in the street
With life poking through to show you you ain't sh** in the grand scheme
I plan on being a supernova you won't recognize
Till years later when my shine pierces your eyes
And as my light shines greater than the sun in your skies
I reflect upon the snow covered ground and clear ice
Cuz it's the winter
[Hook: Davenport Grimes]
Ohh ohh ohh, it's the winter
It's the winter, it's the winter
It's the wint-ohh ohh ohh it's the winter
It's the winter, it's the winter it's the win...
[Verse 2: The Audible Doctor]
This is the place that made me what I've become
The type of place where you can literally see the breath leaving someone
I paint pictures with the tip of my tongue
Gripping this pen I write heat just to keep my fingers from being numb
And while you sleep I'm up punishing drums
Cuz I don't ever want to freeze and fall off like icicles in the sun
Through cycles everything runs and you can see it through the time lapse
But my raps be more like frozen frames that my eye catch
I've seen cats turn cold when exposed to the elements
Some put layers on to protect what seems delicate
It makes it hard to connect no love like we're celibate
I let me sh** blow in the breeze just for the hell of it
Uh, I appreciate the winter that stings
All the knowledge it brings so shake the flakes when they cling
Don't ever let them hold you down like you just waiting for spring
Flame throw through the cold all alone as you sing
It's the winter
[Hook: Davenport Grimes]
Ohh ohh ohh, it's the winter
It's the winter, it's the winter
It's the wint-ohh ohh ohh it's the winter
It's the winter, it's the winter it's the win...
[Outro]
I just want to thank you all, for taking a little journey with me, to a place I call home, I appreciate that...the winter...
