[Intro]
Yeah…
Through the storm, through the silence,
We still rise…
[Chorus]
Who got ya back when it’s cold outside?
When you’re freezing for the answers, just to feel the sunrise.
Keep your head to the sky, don’t let your spirit die,
’Cause the sun gon’ shine, even when you don’t see why.
Who got ya back when it’s cold outside?
You gotta trust in your soul, let your heart be the guide.
[Verse 1]
Rub against ya skin more than a little—
Nigga, surprise, the sun is seldomly seen in my part of town.
I know it sounds depressing, but that’s just the get down.
So it’s so important you get up and never sit down.
Keep the motion going like locomotive,
Train ya mind like a Buddhist monk, stay focused.
That’s why I’m staying coasting from coast to coast,
Away from the commotion, seeking peace the most.
Take a trip through the Indian Ocean,
Take a seat on the beach, meditate to the heavens above,
And listen to the beat… of nature—
Yeah, it’s a beautiful sound.
A big difference from sex, money, violence, and gun rounds.
PTSD for sure, never forget the sounds—
Of boom, boom, boom, and pap, pap, pap,
Everybody had to duck down in the buildings I was staying at.
Feels good to get away from that, travel the map.
[Chorus]
Who got ya back when it’s cold outside?
When you’re freezing for the answers, just to feel the sunrise.
Keep your head to the sky, don’t let your spirit die,
’Cause the sun gon’ shine, even when you don’t see why.
Who got ya back when it’s cold outside?
You gotta trust in your soul, let your heart be the guide.
[Verse 2]
And I advise my whole city to do the same,
’Cause ya know what they say about stress on the brain.
It’ll make ya body break down, little pieces that crumble,
Hard to catch ya breath when ya soul begins to fumble.
Losing every bit of strength and the will to mumble,
A few words before traveling back to essence.
I pitch lessons fast, how mfrs catch up,
Slippery fingers is usually the excuse, that’s why they missing—
The point, like a number 2 pencil stencil the flow
Inside of ya soul.
Soul to soul, man to man, woman to woman and—
It’s never over, the flow don’t stop.
Drop shiny-ass jewels on these niggas,
Illuminating bright like bottles of liquor tops.
Figure I give you more than you can sip or chew—why not?
I got a lot to get off my chest, my heart don’t stop,
Beating to this whole existence is put to rest.
Rest assured, I broke down the door like under arrest.
[Chorus]
Who got ya back when it’s cold outside?
When you’re freezing for the answers, just to feel the sunrise.
Keep your head to the sky, don’t let your spirit die,
’Cause the sun gon’ shine, even when you don’t see why.
Who got ya back when it’s cold outside?
You gotta trust in your soul, let your heart be the guide.
[Verse 3]
Hard to sleep at night, too much to digest,
At one time—two time for the rhyme and flow.
Activated from the weed and the beats that move slow,
Straight through my veins like unofficial cure
To the madness that surrounds us,
Boxing gloves type shit that constantly pounds us.
Leaving the world burnt out, no leg to stand on,
But you gotta stand up even when you feel broken
Through this damn storm of inconsistencies,
Similar to ticking time bombs—
5, 4, 3, 2, 1, the detonation of the .com era begun.
As time moves fast, it gets scarier and scarier,
Nothing colorful here, too many grey areas.
But just know, ain’t nothing artificial about this flow—
This is real intelligence that took years to grow.
Gradual movement is the way to win for sure,
Knowledge, wisdom, and understanding—
Cuts through your mind like a sword.
[Outro / Chorus]
Who got ya back when it’s cold outside?
When you’re freezing for the answers, just to feel the sunrise.
Keep your faith through the pain, let your purpose survive,
’Cause the light gon’ come, even through the dark night sky.
Who got ya back when it’s cold outside?
You do… you do… let your soul be the guide.
