Intro
Cold nights, split meals, but your smile still shines through We light the room with dreams ’cause the lights won’t do it too
Pre-chorus
We ain’t rich, but the love still pays in ways cash can’t replace If loyalty’s the last luxury, you’ve kept mine in a safe
Verse 1
Arguin’ over gas money, pockets soundin’ like they laugh But you still ride with me, even when the tank hits half Four-for-four dinners, we split it like we split the truth Sayin’ “one day we’ll feast,” and I believed it ’cause it’s you Your phone died again, so we share one charger in the car Windows frosted, but our plans stay burnin’ like a star Bills stacked to the ceiling, still you hold my shaky hand Proof that love ain’t fancy, it’s survivin’ what you can
Chorus
If we make it out this season, it’s ’cause we fought to breathe You stayed when it hurt, not when it came time to leave Warm hearts in a cold world, that’s real luxury Love built in the struggle hits deeper than diamonds to me
Verse 2
Late shifts got you limpin’, but you dance in the kitchen still Two-stepin’ over worries, spinnin’ hope into a meal Eviction note on the door, but your laugh said “not today” You turned stress into humor, that’s your broke-love alchemy way Loan collectors ringin’, you reject it with a grin Say, “We pay ’em when we rich, right now we pay with discipline” We dream over dollar menus, talk futures on borrowed cars If loyalty’s the flex, then baby, we already stars
Bridge 1
Cold apartment, warm hands, that contrast kept us alive Rich in everything but money, poor pockets, wealthy pride
Verse 3
Now look, fridge still empty, but the vision gettin’ fed You stitching up my confidence when doubt tore every thread We manifesto better days on cracked countertops Said, “One day this kitchen marble”, and I swear I heard it knock If dreams cost somethin’, then we paid in tears and time But broke love teaches wealth: patience, sacrifice, grind Your loyalty ain’t borrowed, it lives rent-free in my chest If love grows best in struggle, then ours grew to be blessed
Chorus
If we make it out this season, it’s ’cause we fought to breathe You stayed when it hurt, not when it came time to leave Warm hearts in a cold world, that’s real luxury Love built in the struggle hits deeper than diamonds to me
Bridge 2
We ain’t rich yet, but we richer than we used to believe We turned “barely surviving” into “watch what we achieve”
Chorus
If we make it out this season, it’s ’cause we fought to breathe You stayed when it hurt, not when it came time to leave Warm hearts in a cold world, that’s real luxury Love built in the struggle hits deeper than diamonds to me
Chorus
If we make it out this season, it’s ’cause we fought to breathe You stayed when it hurt, not when it came time to leave Warm hearts in a cold world, that’s real luxury Love built in the struggle hits deeper than diamonds to me
Outro
Cold nights don’t scare us, we survived colder times One day we’ll toast to these days, say they built our climb
Inside the recording
Cold nights, split meals, but your smile still shines through We light the room with dreams ’cause the lights won’t do it too
We ain’t rich, but the love still pays in ways cash can’t replace If loyalty’s the last luxury, you’ve kept mine in a safe
Cold nights don’t scare us, we survived colder times One day we’ll toast to these days, say they built our climb
