lirik lagu nico roberts & nfl - super bowl lx halftime show

[intro]
the national football league welcomes you to the apple music superbowl 60 halftime show

[part i: carousel]

[verse]
spinnin’ through the highs, crashin’ in the lows
caught between the lights and the shadows that i know
she say, “you a god,” then she curse me out in french
i just laugh and pour another shot behind the stench
designer pain, i wear it like it’s prada in the rain
i fake a smile in interviews, but i’m barely sane
my mama told me, “boy, get off that ride before it snaps,”
but i’m addicted to the tempo of the claps and the traps
hotel mirrors show a man i don’t know
but the crowd screams louder every time i let go
love letters on the dashboard, drugs in the sink
i told her i’d call her back — i didn’t even blink
i move like a ghost, but i pay like i’m rich
my enemies close, and my mind like a glitch
every girl i touch end up colder than before
every brother i lost still bangin’ at the door
i’m numb to the static, the fame got a smell
and this life? just a broken carousel

[part ii: concrete flowers]
[verse]
cold night, heart beatin’ like it’s dodgin’ a crime scene
love felt like blood on the pavement, never clean
you said forever, i believed it like a dumbo
now i’m tryna sweep my dreams out the cumulus and the dustpan
roses never grew in these gutters, i knew that
but you threw petals on my pain like a true act
told me you’d ride till the wheels crack off
but you bailed when the road got rough and the calls dropped
i seen demons in your smile, but i kissed ’em
played savior in a game rigged from the system
i used to dream ’bout a house with no hurt inside
now i sleep in metaphors and the truth you hide
you were poison in a pretty uh, wine glass
i drank deep, toastin’ love that was never meant to last
every moan was a prayer to forget my sins
now every silence screams like the end begins
you say i changed—nah, i just saw the light
how you gaslight and ghost all in one night

[chorus]
concrete flowers, bloom through the pain
love in the trenches, kissin’ in the rain
you broke me open just to watch me grow
now i’m th~rns and fire, baby, let it show
i gave you heaven in a h~ll~built room
you left me shattered, but i still make bloom
from crackin’ pavement, somethin’ beautiful grew—
a garden, but it still looks like you
[segue]
the game ain’t just about yards, it’s about how far we push, and i’m here to tell you, no one can bench the people

[part iii: roll]

[verse]
all of my demons just dance in the lobby
leave your respect, i was raised off of robbery
hoppin’ out coupes like the trunk’s full of prophecy
talk to me different, i’m not what you thought of me
dark as the alleys i bled in, uh
mama said, “boy, don’t let them pretendin’ in”
i was in heat with the fangs out
labels said, “clean it,” i blacked out
fame is a guy and i’m married to karma
sins on my back like a balenci armor
told julian, “wait,” now she cryin’ in prada
runnin’ from life in a two~door honda
i ain’t got peace, i got paranoia
put it on wax, they gon’ label it poison
ride like a psycho, drip like a tyrant
roll with the gods, can’t vibe with the silent
i was built for the silence, trained in the riot
never went viral, i stormed like a tyrant
k!ll a trend, i’m a walking climate
all these new kids just dressing in violence
loyalty lost in a gram post
i put pain on the beat, that’s a d~mn oath
she said, “you cold,” i said, “boy, i’m froze”
built my name off of “never told”
roll through the fire like i’m chosen
still got scars from the words unspoken
still got ties with the street and label
still got god tryna lift this cradle
i’m the light and the dirt, same candle
told her i’m cursed, she said, “you a scandal”
told her, “don’t judge, just roll with the handle”
i ain’t tryna save stuff, i dismantle
[part iv: patience, then bomb]

[verse 1: nico roberts]
back in the city, the wolves still howlin’ at night
bullet sh~lls still sing lullabies under streetlights
i been duckin’ feds, prayin’ the whip don’t get traced
cash in the duffle, swear it still smell like the safe
hate a truce, boy, i’m here for the whole d~mn plate
ain’t no peace talks, i’m turnin’ dreams into hate
dirty cup lean, got my mind in a race
still a king with a crown that i never misplaced
chain hang low, like the block on a sunday
ops talk loud, but they never come my way
man, i’m nico, i don’t bend, i don’t fold
got the desert on my side, make the ice heart cold
all my dawgs on the leash ’til the prey start runnin’
we don’t do second chances, we just keep gunnin’
burn a label advance, i been rich off the corners
made my first hundred bands before i ever saw a warner
still got the scar from that night in the lot
sh~t went left, but i’m glad that we still got shot
every chain i wear is a trophy from war
every verse i spit got blood in the core
boy, i’m a martyr, i die for the block’s last breath
keep the strap tucked close like i’m hidin’ from death
hit the gas on the coupe, let the engine just roar
got the clip so long, it could settle the score
whole game scared when i walk in the spot
never trust stuff that a fake guy got
my words weigh more than your favorite’s career
and the crown fits perfect when the king’s still here
dude, i’m back with a vengeance, burn your little threats
only see red like a bayonet
all the things i been through turned the man to a ghost
now the bomb’s in the room and i’m too d~mn close

[verse 2: kendrick lamar]
yeah…
back when i was on rosecrans, chasin’ that first taste of light
good kid in a mad city, tryna make wrongs right
mama prayin’ every night, but the block don’t sleep
every corner had a story, some i still can’t speak
seen the homies go ghost before the summer was done
either locked in a cell or facin’ heat from a gun
i was writin’ in my journal like the words could heal
but the pain don’t fade when the wound too real
boy, i came from the bottom, had to claw for breath
talk sl!ck to my name, better watch your step
when gkmc dropped, thought the world might change
but the block still bleeds, and the streets still strange
kept a bible in the left, pistol under the bed
kept my dreams in the middle, prayed they’d keep me fed
got plaques on my wall but the hood still calls
and the voice of my past still echoes through halls
they said fame’s just a blessing, but it’s half a curse
whole world want a piece, gotta watch my purse
got a chip on my shoulder from the nights i starved
had to learn to play smart in a deck full of cards
man, i’m still that kid with the bike and the hopes
but the pain in my chest always ride in the spokes
from poetic justice to the d~mn. applause
still feel the compton wind when i’m breakin’ laws
had dreams so big they could burn the sky
now the bomb’s in my hands and i’m too d~mn high
from the liquor store steps to the grammy stage
still carry every name that’s been lost to rage
and the fake stuff don’t stop, it just change disguise
gotta see through the smoke with the pain in my eyes
good kid? yeah, but i turned to a wolf
now i bite with the pen when the lies need proof
still sippin’ from the flask of my early youth
still searchin’ for god in a world so uncouth
boy, i bomb for the truth, i don’t bomb for a trend
every verse could be my last, every line’s my end

[part v: nerve]
look—
they had the nerve to say i fell off, i just flew up
got receipts longer than the nose on they crew cut
fake smiles in the dm, venom in they group chat
talk behind my back ’til i pop where the roof at
i been calm too long, let me bark a lil’ louder
y’all washed up — like dishes after clam chowder
tried to block my shine, but my light got angles
i got stripes in the dirt — you just tangled in bangles
i don’t hear that hate, it don’t ring in my section
y’all boys pressed like a shirt at a funeral procession
no love lost, no sleep took either
i’m chillin’ like a ghostwriter strapped with a heater
y’all chase clout, i chase legacy and equity
you throwin’ shade? that’s just jealousy with jealousy
i seen ‘em switch more than ig thoughts with filters
your crew foldin’ quicker than pack~a~day quitters
came from the mud, now i walk on tile
still keep it grimy like the floor of a trap aisle
they had the nerve — now they duck and delete
better talk with respect when you mention a beast (eugh)

[part vi: newcomers]

[intro]
love has truly been good to me
love has truly been good to me
not even one sad da~
yeah, they thought i was temporary
but we permanent ink now
i’m the newcomers
time to show ’em how i enter

[verse 1]
i came in like a glitch in the system
kickin’ down doors, they ain’t wanna list him
name buzzin’ like static through cracked phones
every bar like karma — it come back strong
industry full of clones and yes~men
we the virus in the code — don’t press “send.”
too loud for the quiet rooms they built
i got trauma in my voice and a blade for guilt
say my name with respect, not emojis
you post subs — i post trophies
you flex likes — i flex legacy
tryna tap in? nah, don’t message me
this for the loners and fighters
the quiet kids turnin’ into biters
newcomers, yeah we changin’ the code
like: “who let them in?” us. now the building explodes

[hook]
newcomers, kickin’ through the walls they made, (love has truly been good to me)
we don’t ask — we take our place. (not even one sad day)
came from nothin’, now we decorate
this our moment — no time to wait
newcomers, never backin’ down again
told the world “h~llo” through pain
you hear the drums? you feel the weight?
we legends now — remember the name

[verse 2]
i ain’t asked for a feature, i became the feature
used to scribble on desks, now i school the teachers
labels scared ’cause we don’t bend or kneel
we independent with a major feel
they tried to blackball — we painted the room
now it’s basquiats hangin’ over every tune
grew up on noodles and replays
now it’s lobster while i reload the 808s
haters actin’ like we overnight fame
but this took ten years and infinite pain
they said “you too raw,” well that’s the plan
now i’m mixin’ so amazing with a stick in hand
every line a spark, every beat’s a war
we ain’t new to this, just new to the floor
broke the locks, now we run the halls
tell luther thanks — we made the call

[bridge]
love has truly been good to me
so amazing to be loved

[verse 3]
they said “calm down,” i turned it up louder
bloodline full of kings — i’m my ancestor’s power
these blogs don’t validate pain
but every hater just adding propane
see, i walk like i’m chosen, rhyme like i’m owed
they threw dirt — now i bloom from the mold
no stylist — this drip came from pressure
no ghostwriter — these bars came fresher
sam cooke in my cadence
but the beats feel like warzone bass hits
runnin’ with a team full of wolves
no sheep in this pen — just scars and jewels
we ain’t ask for approval, we took the mic
told ’em all: “get used to this sight.”
yeah, i’m loud ‘cause i had to be
when silence just led to tragedy
now i roar with a purpose
newcomers — here to scratch the surface

[hook]
love has truly been good to me
love has truly been good to me
newcomers, breakin’ all the rules they wrote
we the ones that sunk they boats
no co~sign, still we float —
legends now, we built the quote

[segue]
we are the phenomenon. superbowl, i love you

[outro]
the national football league and apple music thank you for watching the super bowl 60 halftime show
