Cold Plates

Verse
Walking through the shadows with my eyes low
Watch the money pile up in the silo
They talk a lot of talk but they don't know
How I keep the engine running when the lights blow
No favors, no handouts, I paid the toll
Selling out my spirit just to keep control

Chorus
It's a cold world, keeping my eyes on the plate
Never hesitate, dodging the bait
Yeah the ice cold, keeping my hand on the gate
We don't negotiate, rewrite the fate

Verse 2
Heavy is the crown but it fits right
Walking through the alley in the dim light
Got the bass shaking up the floorboards
We don't play around with the scoreboard

Chorus
It's a cold world, keeping my eyes on the plate
Never hesitate, dodging the bait
Yeah the ice cold, keeping my hand on the gate
We don't negotiate, rewrite the fate

Bridge
Step back, look at the mess you made
Sharp tongue cutting like a razor blade
Now we run the game, yeah we got the key
Nothing in this world is ever coming free

Chorus
It's a cold world, keeping my eyes on the plate
Never hesitate, dodging the bait
Yeah the ice cold, keeping my hand on the gate
We don't negotiate, rewrite the fate
