[MUSIC]

Tryna get demons up outta me(demons) Turn to a beast, eat your arteries (beast)

Deceasing opponents so properly (opponent) Unleashing the dark side what got to me (got)

We come to take this shit over (hey) Foot on the gas, hear the motor (skrrrrt)

Switchin' my thoughts, I'm bipolar (woo) I stare in the eyes of a cobra (sssss)

Say you want smoke, come get it (come on) You wanna play dumb, I'm wit' it (wit' it)

I'm about to take over the city (hey) I came with my committee, gang with it (gang)

Came for the bag and the profit (bag) Lookin' for the wave when we got it (wave)

Nigga, you ain't scare nobody (booo) Bop-Bop, that's a whole body (bop)

(Cold case, cold, cold case)... On the dark side, if you keep cold, it's a cold case

(Cold case, cold, cold case)... In my right mind, I can write rhymes 'til I road rage

(Cold case, cold, cold case)... It's a yellow ten on my left wrist, and that's all place

(Cold case, cold, cold case)... On my knees, thanking God that he got me through the pain

Danger, danger I don't fit in, I'm a stranger

Believer, believer I can't take out all the evil

Empowerment to all my people I can prove to you I'm a leader

Run through the money, no Visa Forgive me 'cause my life illegal

Searchin' for the bag and the prize (bag) On a mission lookin' for them bad guys

Can't run no play over my head, I'm real wise Look at his eyes, wide, think he traumatized

Take me as a joke, I'ma hang 'em on the rope (rope) 'Cause where I'm from, we don't play like that on our side (nope)

Better not freeze 'cause we know you're gon' choke (choke) Talk behind my back but your shots backfired

I know you tried but you never could survive I see the fear that's in your eyes (eyes)

I'm like Ford, they tryna hide They criticize in disguise (criticize)

They know I can only tell the truth (truth) They know all you do is tell lies (lies)

I'm about to take over the city, tell me you just with it 'Cause I know my squad gon' ride (ride)

(Cold case, cold, cold case)... On the dark side, if you keep cold, it's a cold case

(Cold case, cold, cold case)... In my right mind, I can write rhymes 'til I road rage

(Cold case, cold, cold case)... It's a yellow ten on my left wrist, and that's all place

(Cold case, cold, cold case)... On my knees, thanking God that he got me through the pain

Danger, danger I don't fit in, I'm a stranger

Believer, believer I can't take out all the evil

Empowerment to all my people I can prove to you I'm a leader

Run through the money, no Visa Forgive me 'cause my life illegal

Come on, say you want smoke come get it (hey)(wit' it)

You wanna play dumb, I'm with it (gang, gang, bag)

Lookin' for the wave when we got it (Lookin' for the wave when we got it)

Bop-bop, that's a whole body (bop)

Danger, danger I don't fit in, I'm a stranger

Believer, believer I can't take out all the evil

Empowerment to all my people I can prove to you I'm a leader

Run through the money, no Visa Forgive me 'cause my life illegal

Danger, danger I don't fit in, I'm a stranger

Believer, believer I can't take out all the evil
