Cold World

Doesn't really get this cold in the summer

Doesn't really get this dark in the day

Boy they really turn their backs when you talking

When they lay somebody's else's head where you lay

Know that i ain't easy to be hard

I find it even harder to be easy

You know sometimes i close my eyes and i wonder

If i ever left how much you diss me

Yo somebody told me blood is thicker than water

If a man can say then he can recognize his own daughter

And if hell is below would you pay the price to go

Then i can make it to heaven for sure

This is a cold world, (what)

Cold world

We make it this way, but we don't like it this way

This is a cold world, (what)

Cold world

We make it this way, but we don't like it this way

Just don't know what they say what they talking

So i just let a nigga say what he feel

Walkin with the kid they gonn end up in the coffin

But i'ma say what i gotta say with this deal

Niggas hating you fly in the town

Might as well be charging while they hating

I'm a dog so i don't fuck with cats

If they gon' have me living in this fake pen

It's about time i be at them

Look what you all did to this rap shit

Know a nigga is wrong, come on with the cat shit

Wack shit, get niggas torn down slap quick

Bam, bam, bam go down that quick

Acting like the chauffeur's gone

And i'm sayin' got mill with the ruthless one

It's 2 piece, if your faggot ass 2 persona

I go hard, no dog don't do it, too late it's done

Hold up, i'ma show you why a dog is the illest, killest

You might touch it, but you feel it

The realest nigga to ever do it, the realest nigga to ever do it

And y'all gon' bring me back to it

Y'all gon' make me lose my mind

Middle name is crime, came from crime

You thought i'ma change in time, niggas don't know me

But you been holdin something

You ain't gotta get show me

This is a cold world, (what)

Cold world

We make it this way, but we don't like it this way

This is a cold world, (what)

Cold world

We make it this way, but we don't like it this way

The tunnel looks bright up from behind but you gotta keep moving

Moving, moving because if life stops spinning in the right direction

You lose it, lose it, lose it, lose it

See in the night, i pray to keep me breathing

To see another day to give them something to believe in

'cause i know i won't waste me this way

When you tryin' hard to make a change.
