Chasing Paradise: Cold as Ice, Diamonds in Veins
Lyrics
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Expressing excitement or agreement
My whip cold as ice
Describing a car as extremely cool
My chick cold as ice
Describing a person as emotionally distant or cool
Diamonds cold as ice
Describing diamonds as very valuable and impressive
I got all the shine
Claiming to possess all the attention and admiration
I control the light
Asserting control over attention and focus
I get so precise
Expressing precision or accuracy
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Repetition for emphasis or rhythm
I ain't got no spare time, and I don't share time
Stating a lack of free time and unwillingness to share time
I been at this every night, working for paradise
Commitment to consistent hard work for a desirable outcome
If I show my happy side, I hope I wear it right
Concern about portraying happiness authentically
It ain't just ice in my chains
Highlighting valuable possessions in the form of jewelry
I got ice in my veins
Metaphorically expressing inner strength and resilience
You can't see through frames
Emphasizing the opaqueness of eyeglass frames
It's just me in my lane
Emphasizing a solo and focused journey
They can't speak to my pain
Claiming that others cannot relate to personal pain
So I can't address 'em
Unable to address or communicate with those who don't understand
Since I was five, always knew I was special
Recognizing a sense of uniqueness since childhood
They could be dope but man I got that pressure
Acknowledging personal excellence compared to others
Not on my level
Asserting superiority over others
They wanna see me fall like Pablo
Referencing the desire for the speaker's downfall
But I'm more like Orenthal in the Bronco
Comparing oneself to Orenthal James Simpson (O.J. Simpson) in a car chase
Always been a hundred, I ain't never been partial
Consistently genuine and unbiased
Always gave my all like I might not see tomorrow
Always putting in maximum effort, considering an uncertain future
Coming for the spot, they better know that time is borrowed
Pursuing success with urgency, aware that time is limited
And I need a warm welcome like Roscoe
Expressing a need for a warm and friendly reception
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Repetition for emphasis or rhythm
My whip cold as ice
Reiteration of a cool car
My chick cold as ice
Reiteration of a emotionally distant or cool person
Diamonds cold as ice
Reiteration of valuable and impressive diamonds
I got all the shine
Claiming to possess all the attention and admiration
I control the light
Asserting control over attention and focus
I get so precise
Expressing precision or accuracy
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Repetition for emphasis or rhythm
I ain't got no spare time, and I don't share time
Stating a lack of free time and unwillingness to share time
I been at this every night, working for paradise
Commitment to consistent hard work for a desirable outcome
If I show my happy side, I hope I wear it right
Concern about portraying happiness authentically
If I could have your time
Expressing a desire to have someone's time
If I could have your time
Repetition of the desire to have someone's time
If I could have your time
