Freeze
C-Murder Lyrics

Evolution got me thinking bout the revolution
Reflecting on personal growth and change made me consider broader societal change

We gave n*ggas breaks, they lie to our faces
We showed kindness to others, but they betrayed our trust

We gotta save grace to be on pace
We must maintain dignity and respect in order to succeed

This the textbook rhyme style my time is now
Using tried-and-true rap techniques, it's my moment to shine

Been fucked up for a while and I'm just getting back
Going through tough times and now finally getting back on track

But I'm focused on the mission ain't no questioning that
Despite challenges, I am committed to achieving my goals

We been fighting some crime cause we never been faded
We've been dealing with obstacles and setbacks but haven't given up or lost our edge

I was fresh out the basement, now we rooftop staining
I once started from the bottom but now I'm making it to the top

Man I had to relax steady getting off track
I had to take a break from the hustle, as I was starting to lose my way

And I might've relapsed, had to go and clear my mind
There were moments of temptation and potential relapse, but I recognized the need to regroup and reset

If not now then when? (Yeah, c'mon)
There's no better opportunity than the present to make moves

Seems like I've been waiting for forever (What, what?)
It feels like an eternity trying to make it in this game

We been rapping for some years (How long?)
We've been in the rap game for quite some time

Time go on and we only getting clever
With experience, we only get better and more skilled

Man I need that money now (Give it to me)
I need financial support immediately

Swear to God man we tryna get that cheddar
We're committed to achieving financial success

All the shit we spit is cold (Cold, cold)
Our lyrics are powerful and impactful

Layer up man you better get a sweater
Prepare for the challenges ahead and stay protected

Ice, strife (Getting to it)
We're working hard and getting it done

Freeze frame looking back at life man
Reflecting on past experiences and lessons learned

I was talking to Scratt the other day bruh
Sharing a conversation with a friend named Scratt

What's the wildest thing you done for some box?
Asking a friend what the craziest thing they've done for sexual gratification

Tell me
Asking for a response to the previous question

Closet thing to the grave was a barrel in my face
Almost lost my life due to a dangerous experience

F*cking on the hoe I was tryna get a taste
Engaging in sexual activity with a woman I was interested in

But it's a crazy thing her folks smiled in my face
It's ironic that her family was friendly towards me despite their underlying racism

But racist in the shade, I couldn't point the blame
Despite their prejudice, I couldn't directly blame them for my hardships

Her pops drunk tryna reach for the heat
The girl's father was intoxicated and threatening violence

I thought we was bouta start playing MW3 yeah
In the midst of the chaos, I had a temporary thought about playing a video game

How can I seek what I yearn for
How can I chase my dreams and desires

If he pulled the trigger than a n*gga would've been gone
If the gun had been fired, I may not have survived

Ain't as simple that
The situation was more complex than just a simple threat

Had to jump a couple hurdles like I'm running the track
I faced a series of obstacles that I had to overcome

I was running in circles
I felt stuck or lost, as though I was going nowhere

Popping shit like a kernel
Engaging in boastful or arrogant talk

And you know I'm always snapping
I am always ready and prepared for action

You would think I'm a turtle
I am slow and steady in my approach, like a turtle

F*cking up in school coming home with referrals
I wasn't performing well in school and had disciplinary issues

Wasn't with the beefing I was lying and thieving
I didn't engage in conflicts, but I was dishonest and stole from others

She was dying I'm grieving
I was heartbroken over someone's death

Got up out the situation you prying I'm leaving
I got myself out of a difficult situation and won't disclose specifics

They was really just teaching life lessons for Sol
Difficult experiences taught me valuable life lessons

Already know how it goes
I am familiar with how things work

I ain't f*cking with hoes
I am not interested in engaging with promiscuous women

Try to get you caught up
People will try to bring you down or sabotage your success

Leave a nigga exposed
They will leave you vulnerable or without protection

Have you feeling real cold from ya head to ya toes
It can be emotionally taxing and leave you feeling alone

Gotta take all ya blows and keep the pain enclosed
We have to endure hardships and keep our suffering to ourselves

Heart break it got me dying from the inside
Emotional pain is affecting me internally and causing distress

Goodbye let her go that's what I realized
I came to the realization that I had to let go of a relationship or situation

Recognized that I gotta make a sacrifice
I understand that I have to give up something in order to achieve my goal

Put my pride aside this ain't no disguise
I let go of my ego and am being genuine and honest

(It's the Time Warp Trio for real)
Identifying the group performing the song

Ice, strife (It's nothing new man)
We're no strangers to hard work and difficulty

Freeze frame looking back at life man
Reflecting on the ups and downs of life
