Hot And Cold - JohnnieB

Lyrics

Johnnie B On The Beat Call it a hot and cold run, ‘cause I’m switchin’ with the breath One minute fire in my chest, next minute ice around my neck I flip from summer into winter, every mood a different step Red and blue inside the mirror, but I’m both of them when they connect I jump fences in my mind, face-plant, then get up again JohnnieB stay balanced in the chaos, that’s the way it’s always been Call me a weather warning in the forecast once again Because I’m hotter than the sunlight, colder than the storm rollin’ in [Hook] I guess I’m hot and cold You can’t pin me to one thing, I’m a story unfold Try to label every chapter, but the truth won’t fold ’Cause I can switch the weather right here Turn fire into focus, turn ice into gold Why? ’Cause that’s how it goes—yeah, I’m hot and cold You can’t pin me to one thing, I’m a story unfold Try to label every chapter, but the truth won’t fold ’Cause I can switch the weather right here Turn fire into focus, turn ice into gold Yeah, I’m hot and cold Hi, I’m the whole one for entertainment, they call me The blend The hot one and the cold one both meet underneath my skin Call me frostbite mixed with wildfire, watch the whole room spin Hopin’ they feel it, ‘cause these bars got both extremes built in Treating rhymes like cold fronts colliding with a summer wind Every verse another season, every page another shift Running green lights through the future while the past still try to drift Fuck these stop signs, I’m the middle where the opposites exist On the pad of the center side, that’s all duality within [Hook] I guess I’m hot and cold You can’t pin me to one thing, I’m a story unfold Try to label every chapter, but the truth won’t fold ’Cause I can switch the weather right here Turn fire into focus, turn ice into gold Why? ’Cause that’s how it goes—yeah, I’m hot and cold You can’t pin me to one thing, I’m a story unfold Try to label every chapter, but the truth won’t fold ’Cause I can switch the weather right here Turn fire into focus, turn ice into gold Yeah, I’m hot and cold Caught five stars like I checked into a resort on the coast Bright lights shining on me while I move between the cold and smoke Cracked the ice and crossed the fire, that’s the balance that I chose I guess that’s what happens when both sides live inside your soul It’s why JohnnieB wears grey, because both colors play a role He can disappear in shadows, then shine brighter than gold Like a heat wave in December or a blizzard in July’s hold Then regroup back at home base where the whole spectrum unfolds Call us milestones ‘cause we travel from the future to the old Now they throw opinions at me, but I never let them hold Call it hot and cold living, every chapter that I’ve told Then they all surround the vision when they finally see the whole Tried to box me in a label, but the label got too small JohnnieB was built from contrasts, that’s why every wall falls Through all the trials and tribulations, still standing through it all Hot and cold, motherfucker, I’m the balance of it all [Hook] I guess I’m hot and cold You can’t pin me to one thing, I’m a story unfold Try to label every chapter, but the truth won’t fold ’Cause I can switch the weather right here Turn fire into focus, turn ice into gold Why? ’Cause that’s how it goes—yeah, I’m hot and cold You can’t pin me to one thing, I’m a story unfold Try to label every chapter, but the truth won’t fold ’Cause I can switch the weather right here Turn fire into focus, turn ice into gold Yeah, I’m hot and cold
