cold nights in lagos - ehizdans lyrics

[intro]
yeah
cold nights, just me and my shadow again (uh)
they only show love when the cameras are on (facts)
i came from the block where the dreams get delayed (real talk)
but i still thank god, i ain’t fade like the rest (nah)

[verse 1]
i remember days, i was down to my last (my last)
now the money comes slow, but it’s steady, it lasts (steady)
fake friends still around, tryna get in my path
but i see through the smoke like a tinted glass (for real)
mama told me, “boy, stay calm, don’t stress.”
even when thе world goes left, be blеssed (be blessed)
i lost too much just to settle for less
so i move in silence, no time for the press (shh)
they don’t know half the things i faced
man, the hunger used to twist my waist (uh)
no transport, still i showed up late
had to chase every dream like rent can’t wait (facts)
i was broke, but my faith was rich
had plans in my head, i could never ditch
now it’s airpods on, i don’t hear any pitch
from the ones who laughed when i took that risk (never that)
now they wanna see me, talk ‘bout fame
but they weren’t there when i took that blame (nah)
from lagos stress to a worldwide name
i built this fire from the coldest flame (flame)
[chorus]
yeah, cold nights in lagos, still i shine through the pain (shine)
they don’t know what it takes just to stay in the game (nah)
all these scars on my soul, but i’m numb to the flames (to the flames)
if they ever cross me once, they won’t do it again (never again)
cold nights in lagos, i was praying for a sign (for a sign)
made a name out of the dirt, now i’m crossing the line (yeah)
if it ain’t real love, i just leave it behind (behind)
now i’m built from the struggle, and it sharpened my mind (my mind)

[verse 2]
studio late nights, that’s church for the pain (uh)
confessions on the mic, healing deep in my brain (facts)
they ain’t show love when i starved in the rain
but they’re calling my name now, i’m close to fame (crazy)
man, i did this all from a tiny room
had no power, used candles to fuel my mood (real talk)
now i light up the stage, they assume i’m cool
but they never saw the wars i had to pull through (nah)
i was praying for peace, they were praying i’d fall
didn’t care when i slipped, they just laughed through it all (hmm)
but pain made me sharp, now i’m cutting through walls
and i’m standing on heights they can’t reach at all (yeah)
i move humbly, but i think like a king
real ones know what my silence can bring (uh)
they love to chat, i don’t say a thing
i just let results do the talking within (facts)
i got cousins who dream but can’t find a lane
got brothers still trapped in the chase for fame
but i told ‘em, “bro, if you move with aim
the world gon feel your hustle and respect your name.”
[chorus]
cold nights in lagos, still i shine through the pain (shine)
they don’t know what it takes just to stay in the game (nah)
all these scars on my soul, but i’m numb to the flames (to the flames)
if they ever cross me once, they won’t do it again (never again)
cold nights in lagos, i was praying for a sign (for a sign)
made a name out of the dirt, now i’m crossing the line (yeah)
if it ain’t real love, i just leave it behind (behind)
now i’m built from the struggle, and it sharpened my mind (my mind)

[verse 3]
yeah, i came from where the lights go off too soon (too soon)
still dreamt big under half*lit moons (uh)
lagos city heart got a different tune
where you learn to grow th*rns just to guard your bloom (facts)
now it’s hard to trust, i’ve seen too much
fake smiles, fake love, fake prayers, and such (uh)
they say, “you changed.” i just leveled up
i was broke, now i’m wise, that’s a different touch (yeah)
i used to write bars just to hide my pain
now my pain pays bills, that’s a holy gain (gain)
they talk loudly, but the truth remains
i’m the same young boy that the block once stained (real one)
look, i don’t need any validation
all this hunger turned to motivation (yeah)
they doubted my sound, now it’s innovation
i’m the storm before the celebration (vibes)
now i walk like i know my worth
‘cause i bled through the soil of the lagos earth (facts)
from the dirt i rose, now i see rebirth
every line i drop, it defines my turf (my turf)
[chorus]
cold nights in lagos, still i shine through the pain (shine)
they don’t know what it takes just to stay in the game (nah)
all these scars on my soul, but i’m numb to the flames (to the flames)
if they ever cross me once, they won’t do it again (never again)
cold nights in lagos, i was praying for a sign (for a sign)
made a name out of the dirt, now i’m crossing the line (yeah)
if it ain’t real love, i just leave it behind (behind)
now i’m built from the struggle, and it sharpened my mind (my mind)
