Cold
Stormzy Lyrics

Coldest nigga alive, I'm so cold
I am the most cold, ruthless and unforgiving person there is.

You niggas get on my nerves, you're so old
You are all so predictable and boring that it annoys me.

I painted my whip in the vid like a prick, now I'm carless (Cold)
I made a foolish mistake of damaging my car for the music video and now I don't have it anymore.

Now it's a Uber ting, I've still got this regardless (Cold)
But even without my car, I can still make it happen and get things done with Uber.

Who? What? Them man there? Nah, them man are harmless (Cold)
I am not impressed by those men, they have no power or impact on me.

I just went to the park with my friends and I charted (Wow)
I am so talented and successful that even hanging out with my friends ends up being a chart-topping event.

I have never been a victim, never been a target (Cold)
I am too strong and powerful to ever be a victim or a target of others' attempts to harm me.

The girls love this shit, yeah, they love it like Barfest (Cold)
Women are highly attracted to my cold and ruthless persona, and they express it openly like they do at a music festival called Barfest.

Hashtag merky, the label and I'm coming like Darcus (Cold)
I am proudly and assertively representing my record label Merky, and I am making a major impact like influential British music executive Darcus Beese.

I was on the roads when Giggs made "Talkin' Da Hardest" (Wow)
I have been part of the grime music scene for a long time, and I was there when the legendary artist Giggs released his iconic song "Talkin' Da Hardest".

Look, rude boi, done him on sight One time, check two, bun him on sight
I am so quick to take down my enemies that I can do it in the blink of an eye, without hesitation or fear.

Niggas ain't brave, I can see it in your face Let me tell you about the days I was runnin' on a hype, like
I can tell that you are weak and cowardly just by looking at your face. Let me remind you of the days when I was running with passion and excitement.

Who are you, where you been, where your snow line? Where your stacks? Where your strap? Where your crow line?
I am questioning your identity, your background, your drug supply, your money, your weapon, and your criminal connections.

Big pump don't stuntop when it's showtime Kinda funny how I didn't need a cosign
I am so self-sufficient and confident that I don't need anyone else's approval or support to make a successful entrance on stage.

Shut your mouth, you ain't squeezin' Pussy boy, I just leave him
You are all talk and no action, you are weak and cowardly. I won't waste my time and energy on you.

I been cold a whole season I should call my next song "Freezin'" (Cold)
I have been consistently and relentlessly cold and ruthless for a long time, and I should make my next song even colder and more ruthless.

Touch the mic, then just wheel 'em (Ey) You man are got too much feelings (Alright
I am so talented and charismatic as a rapper that I can easily excite and impress the audience, while you other rappers are too emotional and sensitive.

Late night, I'm at Neasden Filet-o-Fish and I'm breezin'
I am relaxed and enjoying fast food in a low-key area of London called Neasden, after a long day of work and hustle.

Ain't dropped nothin' for a minute, I'm fine (Cold) Roll to the booth, then I bill it with rhymes (Cold)
I have not released any new music for a while, but that doesn't bother me because I am still cold and confident. When I go to the recording studio, I produce high-quality lyrics and beats immediately.

Know a couple OGs that are livin' off crime (Cold) But a young black boy made a milli off grime (Wow)
I am aware of some older criminals who are still making money illegally, but I am proud to be a young black artist who achieved financial success through legitimate means in the grime music industry, which is often discriminated against or overlooked.

So tell Boris Johnson, "suck your mum, we don't care" (we don't care, bruv) And tell them riot feds, "oy buss your gun, you won't dare (you don't dare, bruv)
I am addressing the British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and the police or law enforcement agents known as "riot feds", and I am daring them to respond to my disrespect and defiance. I am representing the voice and spirit of young black people who are fed up with being marginalized and oppressed by the system.

All my young black kings, rise up man, this is our year (our year) And my young black queens right there It's been a long time comin', I swear
I am calling on all young black men and women to unite, empower themselves, and claim their rightful place in society. We have been neglected and oppressed for too long, but the time has come for us to shine and claim our victory together.

If you don't turn this up, it's no fun You ain't heard of us? You're so dumb
My music is so energetic and entertaining that if you don't increase the volume and participate fully, you are missing out on the fun. And if you have never listened to or appreciated my music, you are ignorant and unintelligent.

Can't be scared of pussy or youts You can have your burner tucked, I won't run You can have all the hype, I won't dust Man can't bluff me out, I call bluffs Them boys get fucked about and call us
I am not afraid of anyone, especially not fake gangsters or young people who think they are tough. Even if you carry a weapon or have a lot of fans or followers, I won't back down or run away. I am confident and assertive and I can expose your lies and weakness easily. And when you realize that you cannot defeat me, you will have to admit my superiority and pay me respect.

Oh my god, it's Big Mikey Copped a whip, it's so pricey I should call my next one "Icy"
I am announcing my entrance with pride and authority, and I am showing off my expensive car that I bought with my own money. I am teasing my fans with the possibility of naming my next car "Icy" to keep up with my cold and ruthless image.

Touch the mic and get lively Don't draw me out, I'll ask nicely Do the road and do wifey I wonder why they don't like me Cuh I'm Cold Cold Cold
I am encouraging other rappers to match my energy and creativity and deliver their best performances. I am warning anyone who disrespects me that I will give them a chance to apologize or retreat, but if they persist in their aggression, I will respond swiftly and mercilessly. I am also curious why some people dislike me, but it doesn't matter because I know I am cold and ruthless, and that is all that matters.

Right now everything's cold as a cold cold summer (yeah, cold) Everything's cold Hashtag merky, twenty-f I been cold the whole season I should call my next song "Freezin'" I been cold the whole season I should call my next song "Freezin'" I been cold the whole season I should call my next song "Freezin'" I been cold the whole season I should call my next one "Easy"
I am reiterating my cold and ruthless persona and the fact that everything around me, including the hottest season of the year, feels cold compared to me. I am promoting my record label Merky and my age of 20-something as symbols of my youth and innovation. I am repeating my idea of making my next song about being extremely cold, and I am ending the song with a casual and confident remark about how easy everything is for me, because of my coldness and toughness.
