Its So Cold In the D
T Baby Lyrics

It's so cold in the D
The reality of living in Detroit is harsh and difficult

How the fuck do we 'pose to keep peace?
With so much violence and crime, it's hard to maintain peaceful relationships

What's all on a nigga's mind?
The constant pressure and danger weighs heavily on one's thoughts

Murkin' and doin' time
Killing and getting locked up are common struggles in the D

Mason, he was like a brother to me
The loss of a loved one, especially one who was close like family, is devastating

Shit we all use slang blaze up a tree
They used to smoke together and hang out, using slang words and having fun

Playin drinking games and shit Always into big things and shit
They were all about having a good time and doing risky, exciting things

It was gettin' wicked and shit
Things were starting to get dangerous and out of control

And all we did was just kicking the shit
They were just hanging out and having fun, not realizing the danger they were in

But someone took his life, I couldn't believe it
Their friend Mason was killed, and it was hard to accept that such a tragedy could happen

I'm havin' memories of what we used to do
The memories of happier times with Mason are all that remain

But now he's gone, can't do what we do
The loss of Mason has left a void in their lives that can never be filled

You know we only done it for the fucked a crew
All of their reckless behavior was just to impress their friends and fit in with the group

Being in the D is bad for your health
Living in Detroit comes with a high risk of violence and danger

How the fuck do you 'pose to stack of papers
It's difficult to accumulate wealth and success when you're constantly facing danger

When these niggas want your wealth
Others in the community may be jealous or desperate, leading them to target those who appear successful

It's hard in the D when you tryin' to keep peace
Trying to stay safe and maintain calm relationships in this environment is a difficult task

You don't have to worry about those sass niggas tryin to protest, cuz that was givin' you stress
Mason no longer has to deal with the stress and danger of confrontations with others

We know you was with ridey That's why the niggas try this
Because Mason had a reputation for being tough, others may have targeted him out of jealousy or to prove themselves

It's sad to see my nigga gone to that better place now
Though they are glad Mason is no longer in danger, it's still devastating to lose him

All real niggas gone, and the worms are left
Many of the good people have been lost, leaving only the bad behind in some neighborhoods

To you big baby And/or T baby
A shoutout to himself, either as T Baby or Big Baby

Can you get that nigga Sweet Pea And everybody else from the block Anybody fucks with us We always stab the cock
An aggressive warning to anyone who might try to mess with their crew

We've got much love for you my baby
A tribute to Mason and their deep affection for him
