Streets Colder

[Verse 1]
They might have a lot to say, but ain’t gon’ never face you
You gotta learn to embrace it, don’t let it break you (Break you)
It’s hard as hell tryna make it, even hard to save me (Tried 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 company 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 low-key, this bitch tryna get caught
Shе knowin’ if she get seen out with P, it take hеr stock up
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 (They 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’
And my other cousin caught two homicides, I really hate that (Uh)
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, got a driver 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 them got they 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 up

[Chorus]
Streets gettin’ colder and colder
Streets gettin’ colder and colder
Streets gettin’ colder and colder
Streets gettin’ colder and colder

The title itself—“Streets Colder”—symbolizes how the environment he once trusted has grown unforgiving and ruthless. Lil Baby raps about loyalty being rare, success making him a target, and the pressure to stay strong despite emotional scars. Through a cold, reflective tone, he admits how fame hasn’t insulated him from pain—it’s only sharpened the dangers around him. The track blends vulnerability with resilience, showing a man who’s armored up emotionally because the streets have only grown colder the more he’s risen.
