Cold World

[Hook: Jay Spade] + (Common "The Corner" samples) The world is cold The block is hot as a stove It's so hot The world is cold, the block is hot as a stove [Verse 1: Jay Spade] It's a cold, cold world I'm so, so thorough, Manhattan is my borough From New York City, a witty and sly fellow Smoking on some piff to keep my mind so mellow Chillin' in the cut with a cup of that Hennessy Watching all these gimmicks and pretend-to-be's mimick me Silly You, there could never be another me Whether punchlines or lyrically Niggas try but they'll never finish me These city streets blazing like Cajun "Hot as a stove" the cops won't stop until you caged in I keep my laces tied, just in case I gotta book it I ain't tryna catch a case or spend a night in central bookings [Bridge] You gotta feel me This the first hand perspective From a kid that was rejected now I'm lyrically respected The flow, yes, I perfected I'm so focused on ascension.. That means I'm on the come up You better pay attention [Hook x2] Hot summers and cold winters I bundle up With a bundle in the concrete jungle, just to get some bucks I hit the store for a dutch and I roll Keep some weed on me when I'm alone or whenever I'm on the road It's a, cold night in the heart of the city Catching frostbite posted in the dark for some pennies And I don't, want to get knocked for some bad luck Tossed in the back of the car with handcuffs Damn son, I just need a answer Asking God "please, can I get a sign?" The only thing the cops trying to give me is hella time Feeling petrified as the paranoia kicking in Twist another spliff, just to drift and start chillin' The world is cold, The block is hot And I'mma make it to the top I think the world should know I done overcame obstacles Rose above the storm without form What seems impossible is possible [Bridge] You gotta feel me This the first hand perspective From a kid that was rejected now I'm lyrically respected The flow, yes, I perfected I'm so focused on ascension.. That means I'm on the come up You better pay attention [Hook x2]
