Northside Fever (melo)

Look at the frost on the glass

I’m pushing a heavy black mass

Ten toes on the pavement

Waiting for the payment

My nigga the heater stays under the seat

Cold world cold metal no heat

I walk like a ghost on the street

Dead winter wind when we meet

Body is shaking from pills

I’m living for none of the thrills

Walking out the back door

Blood on the wood floor

Sick of the snakes and the fakes in the yard

Living it bitter and living it hard

Ice in my lungs when I’m drawing a card

Playing the part with a soul that is scarred

Pulling the mask over eyes

Listening to all of your lies

Got nothing to say

Coming my way

Black on the jacket and black on the soul

Staring down deep in the bottomless hole

Taking a life is the only control

Counting the tax that I took for the toll

Empty inside of the chest

Never been put to the test

Left him in the ditch

Don’t be a snitch

Look at the grip on the throat

Water is filling the boat

I am the wolf in the coat

Whatever you heard is a quote

Shadows are chasing the car

I’m taking this way too far

Ice on the chain

Nothing but pain

Broken and bitter and blacked out tonight

Praying for peace but I’m ready to fight

Losing my mind in the middle of light

Wrong for the way that I’m making it right

Standing out here in the snow

Nowhere for losers to go

Watch it all freeze

Down on your knees

Bury the truth in the dirt

Used to the feeling of hurt

Sleeping in just a t-shirt

Waiting for someone to spurt

Northside where the mercury drops

Ducking and dodging the cops

Tired of the games

Killing the names

I saw it I grabbed it I kept it for me

Wishing for something that nobody see

Bound by the habit but wanting to be

Free of the weight but I’m never quite free
