Streets Colder Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They might have a lot to say, but they gon’ never face you
You gotta learn to embrace it, don’t let it break you (Break you)
As hard as ya’ll tryna make it, even hard to save me (Hard to save me)
Started off in the trap house and took it major (Major)
Got a gang task tryna fuck us off, switched up my whole entourage
Puttin’ all my hundreds up only, using my credit card
Shawty spread her bullshit, won’t speak about the better part
Took it from a block to a two hundred foot yacht
Everything good when it’s good until it’s not
Got my mind on my money, I ain’t thinkin’ ’bout no thot
‘Posed to be, keep it lowkey, this bitch tryna get caught
She knowin’ if she get seen, I will [?] and take a stock
Had to get outside my comfort zone, I’m on it, now I’m focused
I was startin’ to feel stagnant, I had to switch the motion
Two hundred in Chanel, how the fuck she ain’t gon’ post it?
I hit her in a Rolls-Royce one time, and then I ghosted her
I’m overly the coldest
[Chorus]
Streets gettin’ colder and colder
Streets gettin’ colder and colder (Gettin’ cold)
Streets gettin’ colder and colder (This shit too cold)
Streets gettin’ colder and colder
[Verse 2]
Brodie damn near lost his marbles, takin’ Percs, I helped him shake back
Cuz told me he ain’t never gettin’ no job, he rockin’ face tat’
In my hood a cousin caught two homicides, I really hate that
Tryna get away like tryna find a needle in a haystack
Give a damn if I’m rich, I give you a loan, I want it paid back
Lately I been on business time, gotta drivin’ in a Maybach
Niggas ‘posed to be gangsters postin’ like bitches, man, I hate that
I’m a product of poverty, know how to polish this shit up
My lil’ niece and my nephew done got their college funds tucked
I’ma practice, so I master it, I ain’t dependin’ on no luck
I was goin’ through some stuff and didn’t want to rap, almost said “fuck it”
They been patiently waitin’ on me, I gotta turn ’em up
[Chorus]
Streets gettin’ colder and colder
Streets gettin’ colder and colder
Streets gettin’ colder and colder
Streets gettin’ colder and colder
Streets Colder Meaning
[Verse 1]
In the first verse, Lil Baby reflects on the criticism and challenges he faces, emphasizing the importance of embracing adversity rather than letting it break him. He describes his rise from the trap house to a luxurious lifestyle, marking his growth and success. The verse conveys feelings of betrayal, as Lil Baby mentions how his entourage switched up and the pressure of maintaining success amidst constant scrutiny. The lines about using a credit card and keeping things lowkey suggest a desire for privacy and financial stability, while the mention of a woman adds complexity to his emotional landscape—though he is driven by money, he also struggles with relationships and fleeting connections.
[Chorus]
The chorus highlights the central theme of the song: the streets getting “colder and colder.” The repetition of this line underscores the sense of increasing danger and emotional detachment that comes with living a street life. It reflects Lil Baby’s understanding that while success can bring comfort, it also comes with greater isolation and harder challenges, symbolized by the “colder” streets.
[Verse 2]
In the second verse, Lil Baby expands on the harsh realities of the streets, noting the destructive behavior of his peers, such as his friend taking Percs, and the violence in his neighborhood. He also emphasizes the loyalty and responsibility he feels toward others, offering a loan to someone even when he has no financial gain in return. This verse paints a picture of Lil Baby’s conflicted emotions, balancing his success with the weight of his roots in poverty and the responsibility to help those around him. He also touches on his personal growth, mentioning how he’s now focusing on business rather than street life, a shift that signals both maturity and a commitment to securing a better future.
[Chorus]
The chorus repeats once again, emphasizing the emotional toll the streets have on Lil Baby and the harsh environment he continues to navigate. It serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggles he faces, despite his success, with the streets continuing to grow colder in his journey.
