Lyrics
Intro
Hot air blow from the subway grate
City don’t sleep, just meditate
Verse 1
Steam rise up through concrete cracks
People rush by with heavy backpacks
Some got coke in plastic packs
Some got dreams they can’t unpack
I watched a man with shaking jaw
Hands twitch like broken law
Eyes empty from what he saw
That white line don’t fix no flaw
I keep distance from that edge
Seen too many fall off that ledge
I roll leaf instead
Let my rhythm pledge
Hook
Roll One & Chill, breathe in deep
Gelato Glow Records don’t play cheap
We build catalog that keep
Long after trends fall asleep
Verse 2
Subway vent confession talk
Truth slip out when people walk
No one really wants to stalk
Their own reflection in the dark
I ain’t holy, I ain’t clean
But I seen what I seen
Addiction ain’t a movie scene
It’s hospital lights and machines
Bridge
Bassline low like distant train
Guitar string bend like subtle pain
Smoke circle slow again
No shame
Verse 3
Gelato Glow Sessions on the late drive
We survive
Through vibe
And craft alive
No powder dreams in my regime
Just organic steam
And self-esteem
Inside the scheme
Outro
Steam fade thin
Night fold in
Same skin
Stronger within
