Big Sean Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Yeah, it's so cold in the muthafucking D
I'm talking 'bout real cold mane
I'm talking 'bout June 19-mothafuckin'-86
On the west Side off 8 Mile Road
Living with my pops while he was
Working at a mufuckin' post
Office right around
The corner, I was working at McDonalds
Getting up
In the morning doing that breakfast shift i
Was so cold on the mothafuckin' eggs, they
Called me Young Eggs
Mane i mean I had it locked and
Loaded i was gon' fuck around and
Go to school out there too the coaches
Wanted me to come to Cooley
High and play basketball and do my
Thang but you know what man
The experience I had
In Detroit was a hell of an experience
Because it shaped me, it molded me, it grew
On me i came back from Detroit
I was new and improved i remember I wrote me
A song i said uh, "I went to Detroit
To make my move i'm on track
Now I'm back, and I'm new and improved"
That's how I came back from Detroit
You understand
Me i was new and improved so all
My folks out there in the D, it's so
Mothafuckin' cold from the West
Side to the East
Side y'all know what it is i used
To stay on Whitehill Street on the East
Side too, right by the Eastland Mall, ya
Dig so I mean I'm well rooted and tooted
And suited and booted part of the D
Is part of the G and the LBC

LYRICS:

Ye it's so cold in the motherfucking D
I'm talking real cold man I'm talking about June 19 motherfucking 86
On a west side off 8 mile road
Living with my pops while he was working at a motherfucking post office
Right around the corner I was working at McDonalds
Getting up in the morning doing that breakfast shift
I was so cold in the motherfucking eggs, they call me young eggs
I mean I had it locked and loaded I was gonna fuck around and go to school out there
To the coaches wanted me to come to Cody High and play basketball
And do my thing, but you know what man, the experience I had in Detroit was a hell of an experience man
'Cause it shaped me, it molded me, it grew me
I came back from Detroit I was new and improved
I remember I wrote me a song, I said I went to Detroit to make my move a more track
Now I'm back and I'm new and improved
That's how I came back from Detroit you understand me I was new and improved
So all to my folks out there in the D, it's so motherfucking cold from the west side to the east side
Y'all know what it is, I used to stay on white street on the east side too
Right by the east line mall you dig
So I mean I'm well routed, and tutored and suited and booted
