Cold Shoulder

[Verse 1: Jimmy P.] I express lyrics in ways that you can relate to How would you feel if someone said in your face that they hate you? I got it daily- stuff to rarely smile over Get in my shoes, this is shit you walk a mile over Record labels don’t want me- they’re my family I’m angry cuz I don’t think people can understand me I don’t want a hand out, just wanna stand out Get this cash fast, some paper to help my man out Might’ve heard my demo and fell in love with the punch lines This is real rap, talking about the crunch time That happens when you’re the one that is standing between You and your dreams of cream and being in magazines And when it seems like things just can’t go any worse Don’t stop cuz you’ll never know how close you were To being on the billboard charts, it’s all over You gave up your soul and the goal to the cold shoulder [Hook: Jimmy P] A cold wind is blowing and I know it Cuz I’ve had a cold shoulder all of my life So stop giving the cold shoulders [X2] [Verse 2: Jimmy P.] How am I supposed to write without an inspiration? Dedicating this to those facing situations Create frustrations, making you all complacent Living in a basement, awaiting the payments Living check to check has got me in my room pacing Gotta bust my ass or else I’m on the pavement I know I can make it if I work hard enough Try hard enough, push, kick and strive hard enough I write lyrics every day and respond to my fan mail Running with my momentum and don’t ever stand there My shot came here fast but it can go even faster That means I have to grab ahold of the dream that I’m after A dream deferred is not in my literature I’m a little bit more mature, more competent with words They can say men can move mountains- I’ma start with a boulder Holding the weight of the world on my cold shoulders [Hook] [Verse 3: Jimmy P.] Freedom of thought, bleeding, feeding all of the chaos Reading your palm, meeting dead and gone in a séance Taking crayons, writing messages and confessions My mind is being read; my brain waves can be detected To get inside my head is the job of a new detective I must be a deviant who’s needing to be corrected It’s ineffective, thinking the thoughts of the masses They were clearly brainwashed, their thoughts not so reactive My actions are all acting, so I look interactive However I’m held captive, feeling like I’ve been trapped in A brand new world where the struggle has got me covered Feeling pretty troubled from watching Big Brother And my doublethink is on the brink of extinction With thoughts that sink in, have you started thinking? About your life changing as you get older? Have a warm heart but keep the cold shoulder [Hook]
