[Verse 1] Steam rises off the court at six AM While the city’s buried under white again No skates, no sleds, just these worn-out kicks Dribbling through the frost Basketballs my only fix [Verse 2] October snowflakes stick to my windowpane In April it'll be the same old pain I don’t build snow forts or chase northern lights Just boot up 2K through those frozen nights Dreamcast to PS5, different rosters same dreams Dame Dolla on my screen while pipes freeze Game winner and I'm causing screams on stream [Hook] This ain’t hockey country for me Just hardwood heat And Threes from deep Out there? A tundra, bleak and wide In here? My sanctuary, fire burns inside [Verse 3] Negative forty—my bones won’t lie But I lace up anyway, watch the nets sigh Empty gym echoes, breath hangs in air Ball hits the floor like a heartbeat in despair Basketballs a winter sport, just not where i'm from never even learned to ice skate Loved basketball from day one Just me, the rim, and one more bucket turns to 50 more Game 7 on the same team as Jordan I knew even in fantasy that I ain't gonna win that one [Hook] This ain’t hockey country for me Just hardwood heat And threes from deep Out there? A tundra, bleak and wide In here? My sanctuary, A fire burns inside [Bridge] They say embrace the chill, find joy in the cold and white But joy’s a crossover, breaking ankles under fluorescent gym lights My Canada’s not about the ice—iits about work in the gym It’s about footwork, follow through and spin inside its about next gen Rythym shooting A digital dynasty The W, the rec, pro am, my career, myteam, the park and getting wins I’m locked in [Hook] This ain’t hockey country for me Just hardwood heat and a threes from deep Out there? A tundra, bleak and wide In here? My sanctuary, A fire still burns inside [Outro] Backward cap like I'm still young , frost on my window frame But the game stays warm—always the same Another day, another W Not for winter Memories Another "G-G" Another Dub for the win
