about

Lamar Williams Jr. ruminates on bringing racial justice to the forefront and breaking generational apathy in “Cold As Ice.” Williams reflects on the blessings and strange curses of the pandemic and the heightened consciousness the time presented to slow down and fight systemic racism. Unlike past eras, this was a time where people from all walks of life and all backgrounds would stand up in the streets and put in actionable work to create changes in an oppression system and amplify the voices of people of color. With the hope that everybody can remain on the same team and continue to put in the work, he imparts a core value of love and its ability to heal, grow, and nurture in every situation. Produced by Eddie Roberts at Color Red Studios in Denver, CO, Williams is joined by James Dumm on guitar, Jiho Han on bass, and Will Trask on drums in a heavy funk-rock call for change.

lyrics

I can remember all the corner streets where I grew up
Watching the street lights to keep the time
I can remember how the world was when I was young
Living my life didn't feel like committing a crime

As much as I remember, these streets don't forgive men my age, you gotta be smarter now
Cause the way we paved lead men like me astray
It can be a hundred degrees outside, but it's still cold as ice

I can remember momma said, ""you gotta be patient""
But you can't wait now, the world never stops spinning around, spinning around
I can remember how it was, MLK and X made strides
But even now, there's bigger goals they had in mind

As much as I remember, these streets don't forgive men my age, you gotta be smarter now
Cause the way we paved lead men like me astray
It can be a hundred degrees outside, but it's still cold as ice

As much as I remember, these streets don't forgive men my age, you gotta be smarter now
Cause the way we paved lead men like me astray
It can be a hundred degrees outside, but you gotta be smarter now, cause it's still cold as ice
