Cold As Stone” (Killer Version)

Verse 1] (tight, percussive delivery)

Clock in — sun down

Clock out — sun up

Fourteen hours straight

Just me and my luck

Same faces, fake grins

Handshake, then cut

Smiles at my front door

Knives in my gut

Said “we a team,” right?

Funny how it ends

They share all my secrets

I just share the rent

I gave ‘em everything

They gave me a show

Talking in circles

Thought I’d never know

⸻

🔥 [Pre-Chorus] (build, tension rising)

Now I don’t say much

I just move in silence

Every scar turned strategy

Every loss is guidance

Yeah they talk, let ‘em talk

I don’t owe ‘em nothing

I was built in the dark

Now I’m turning it to something

⸻

💥 [Chorus – DROP] (big, chantable, wide)

I been working through the pain (through the pain)

Long days, long nights in my lane

Used to have a heart

Now it’s stone in my chest

Had to lose that trust just to give my best

I don’t need new friends

I’m good on my own

If you weren’t in the dark

You won’t see my glow

Twelve — fourteen — grind till I’m bones

I stayed real, you changed

Now I’m cold as stone (cold as stone)

⸻

🎸 Post-Chorus Hook (crowd chant)

Cold as stone…

Cold as stone…

Built it alone…

Now I’m in my zone…

⸻

[Verse 2] (more aggressive tone)

Break room, blank stares

All teeth, no soul

They toast when I’m there

Then hope that I fold

Heard my name in rooms

I ain’t stepped in

Plans that I built

Turned into their win

Used to take it personal

Lose so much sleep

Now I treat it like weather

Rain gonna fall, that’s the street

So I stack these hours

Like bricks in a wall

Every scar, every rumor

Just making me tall

⸻

🔥 [Pre-Chorus] (bigger)

I don’t chase love

I don’t chase approval

Turned pain into focus

Turned doubt into fuel

Yeah they switched, that’s fine

I just leveled alone

You played both sides

Now I’m carved in stone

⸻

💥 [Chorus – BIGGER]

I been working through the pain (through the pain)

Long days, long nights in my lane

Used to have a heart

Now it’s stone in my chest

Had to lose that trust just to give my best

I don’t need new friends

I’m good on my own

If you weren’t in the dark

You won’t see my glow

Twelve — fourteen — grind till I’m bones

I stayed real, you changed

Now I’m cold as stone (cold as stone)

⸻

💔 [Bridge] (strip → explosive build)

I ain’t bitter — I’m better

Cut the ropes, lost the weight

You can talk — whatever

I’m too busy staying late

(build drums + synth)

Yeah I switched up — tougher

But I kept my soul

You turned on me for nothing

I turned pressure into gold

(pause — silence hit)

Now watch me…

⸻

💥 FINAL CHORUS (anthem level)

I been working through the pain (through the pain)

Long days, long nights — no escape

Used to have a heart

Now it’s stone in my chest

But that stone made me stronger than the rest

I don’t need new friends

I built my own throne

If you weren’t in the dark

You won’t see how I’ve grown

Twelve — fourteen — grind till I’m gone

I stayed real, you changed

Now I’m cold as—

⸻

🔥 OUTRO (DROP / CHANT LOOP)

STONE

Cold as stone

Built it alone

Now I’m in m
