We live in a cold, cold world [x4]
|
|
These folks is killing for less money than they can borrow
|
Create and you will sorrow for families left feeling hollow
|
Then the son of a gun victim fleshing out his anger
|
Coloring cartoons of strangers who getting strangled
|
And the daughter let a stranger, the school call him a counselor
|
Do some dirty things, but he promise that he would counsel her
|
Baby momma can't identify the man that killed him
|
It's the same low down dealer that she always get her pills from
|
And the son is getting older, streets is making him colder
|
But his momma's out cold, cause she ain't never quite sober
|
His sister's 15, but you probably think that she grown up
|
'Cause she was with some men, acting way too grown up
|
And don't nobody care though, the schools ain't teaching
|
McDonalds selling poison, got people working for cheap an
|
The military, drug's, or prison only way to eat, man
|
It's cold in the streets, let the track bring the heat in
|
|
We live in a cold, cold world [x4]
|
|
This world's cold like no clothes and snow blown
|
Like when the devil take the breath out of a baby's nose
|
And the people won't hear more metaphors and word-play
|
My sister's sick of stripping, she need hope up in my words, man
|
She pull up to the mall where she valet her little Mercedes
|
Wishing she had some romance, healthy family, couple babies
|
And the gentleman she love, he already got a wife
|
So she's accepting her plight, she's a lady of the night.
|
And she saw 'em in the park with his daughter, they holding hands
|
Arm around his woman's shoulder, he ain't give her not a glance
|
She accepts her sad reality, she doesn't stand a chance,
|
One woman gets the man, the other woman gets the dance.
|
|
It's a cold world, real cold world
|
Jermaine called that thing, man where is we going turn
|
A lot of people thinking I'm on an hopeless endeavor, nah
|
I know someone who can change the weather forever, ever
|
|
We live in a cold, cold world [x4]
