Cold Chain

[Verse 1]
Rain on the chain link
Mud on the soles
Same four walls
Same story told

Mama left soup
On the stove too long
I was outside
Trying to act strong

Blue on the corner
Red in the rear
I learned real quick
Who disappears

Phone on six percent
Patience on none
I keep my face still
Till the work get done

[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t call me back
If you ain’t real
Don’t hold my hand
If you can’t feel

I been low
I been bent
I been counting
Every dent

[Chorus]
Cold chain, cold chain
I been running in pain (cold chain)
Cold chain, cold chain
Same dark, different name

Cold chain, cold chain
You can hear when I move (cold chain)
Cold chain, cold chain
I got nothing to prove

[Verse 2]
Door got kicked
Now the frame lean left
I was halfway gone
Still taking my breath

Corner store glare
On a busted glass pane
Seen my old crew
Turn to smoke in the rain

They talk like kings
When the week feel nice
But the rent come due
And the mask won’t hide

I keep one eye up
And one eye shut
’Cause trust got teeth
And it bites too much

[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t call me back
If you ain’t real
Don’t hold my hand
If you can’t feel

I been low
I been bent
I been counting
Every dent

[Chorus]
Cold chain, cold chain
I been running in pain (cold chain)
Cold chain, cold chain
Same dark, different name

Cold chain, cold chain
You can hear when I move (cold chain)
Cold chain, cold chain
I got nothing to prove

[Bridge]
If I go quiet
That mean I’m near
If I look away
That mean fear

I seen good men
Fold to dust
I seen bad luck
Turn to trust

[Chorus]
Cold chain, cold chain
I been running in pain (cold chain)
Cold chain, cold chain
Same dark, different name

Cold chain, cold chain
You can hear when I move (cold chain)
Cold chain, cold chain
I got nothing to prove
