birdapres - the winter lyrics

[verse one]
i think you know what i’m here for
taxi cab picked me up at the airport
far away from the people i care for
i guess i’m homesick
no sh-t, therefore
this better be worth a million dollars
snowflakes falling the size of silver dollars
i dream of mics and crowds
the sound they make when the lights go down
the cab moves slow into town
god d-mn, there’s a whole lot of snow on the ground
it’s got to be like 4 feet deep
stop at a red brick house on ward street
this is my new home at least til i’m famous
and get some attention from one of the majors
roommate writes for one of the papers
for guns cops raided one of my neighbors
and it was on the news
i watched then went out to pay some dues
d-mn it’s freezing and hard to breath
broke some ground it’s hard to leave
when you scr-pe together rent ain’t that a joke
i called home and begged my folks
they supported me from a distance
it could have been cause i lacked persistence
nah

[hook]:
“it was the winter…it was cold…it was a cold winter”

[verse two]:
glutton for punishment he’s back on a plane
guess what – it’s christmas time again
this time he’s got some dough socked away
and some songs he wrote to put on display
plus he understood the culture better
started out like a personal vendetta
this time he won’t starve, he’s working
a few lean years changed him as a person
he’s scared of mics and crowds
of jam packed places and what might go down
compet-tion is fierce, his position is worse
can’t shake the suspicion he’s cursed
a lot of these rappers see through the facade
and put him on blast when he drops his guard
toronto got softer but still looked hard
and they’d like nothing more than to pull your card
did what he’d been conditioned to
his deck might have been missing a few
nah, the cards were there for the most part
what he calls a career gets off to a slow start
summer left and the cold winds came back
homesick or some sh-t, he don’t blame that
landlord issues
but no it ain’t that
if all else fails he’ll just claim that

[hook]:
“it was the winter…it was cold…it was a cold winter”
