lirik lagu ethos the rapper - cold sweat
[verse 1]
i remember way back when, smoking for the very first time like i was there again, spun out on a bed
friends steady askin’ me if i was dead like nah i just wish that i could truly explain to you all the craziness that i’m seein’ in my head
couldn’t hear a thing you said, ya’ll go ahead and carry on, i’m gonna enjoy the buzz by myself before it’s gone, felt like the king of babylon
nothing could compare to how the music sounded and the people that surrounded me, astounded, grounded by the weed, thought
this was all i’d ever need guess i’m gonna plant a seed to the gate
[chorus]
head’s a bit warm, i may be sick, the gateway is looming and it looks cryptic
head’s a bit warm, i may be sick, the gateway is looming and it looks cryptic
just don’t be like me and make the mistake of takin’ sh~t that man made
i was chasin’ new thrills and it led me to chills, and it k!lls me to think of all that i did when i was sick
[verse 2]
started over from a teen, here’s what i mean, had to go and get my l’s again, buy a car again
find a place to live again, had to get both of my kids again, i love ’em more than anything in the world
and thought i lost ’em, and i gave it all up for a drug that was a f~ckin’ waste of my time, and i did a lot of damage when i strayed from the path
but i’m workin’ on amendin’ it as quick as i can but it takes awhile and no, i’m not defending it i know what i did
i don’t want my kids to go down the same road, i left an aftermath and i hope that one day
i’ll forget that they weren’t enough then for me to quit
and i’ll be the first to admit i was equally as selfish as the drugs were, i finally get it
and that’s why i don’t regret it one little bit but it was hard to overpower it
had to hit a bottom, livin’ in a car, in and out of jail, i even broke a jar at the laundromat
just to eat the candy like “where’s the brick at?”
[verse 3]
6 years passed quick since i left the clinic, everyone was tired of my sh~t even momma was a cynic but i was there to kick the notion
that i’d ever put in motion anything to do with that again, my devotion was there then, and it’s there now
no i’d never throw away everything the universe wanted to endow, i wonder how i ever used to live like that
slept in the very same laundromat i stole the candy from, and the man i had become was someone really numb
just a scum of the earth pan hand who got kicked from his own band that finally lost enough
to get the strength to rise above and leave the wasteland with a plan
[chorus]
come a long way, nothing to say, i’ve waited so long for the day
come a long way, nothing to say, i’ve waited so long for the day
[verse 4]
now i jones for astrology and the magic of mycology and it helps with my anxiety and it also helps shape my philosophy
so you best not bother me with any of your petty sh~t, don’t need to put in any effort to outwit i’m a g~nius but a misfit
my rhymes aren’t fit for a half~wit, so quit
tryin’ to bring the drama but you drive a honda and it’s not an ’83 and that’s a pity and you’re lookin’ like the kind of guy
that rocks the loud pipe in my city, lookin’ like bono want the biddy, with a face full of acne, would you just look at it
got his bill rolled up, goggles on, he’s ready to ski
[chorus]
come a long way, nothing to say, waited so long for this day
come a long way, nothing to say, waited so long for this day
[verse 5]
i’m right where i wanna be, crafty, mapped out a plan that some would call a fantasy but soon that plan’s gonna start payin’ off
for me and my family, i don’t cold sweat anymore, that’s a sure fire bet and i’m in debt to the universe for showin’ me the way
and allowing me to reimburse you all with the verse
[chorus]
come a long way, nothing to say, waited so long for this day
come a long way, nothing to say, waited so long for this day
[end]
oh, the selfishness
oh, the selfishness
[chorus]
come a long way, nothing to say, waited so long for this day
come a long way, nothing to say, waited so long for this day
