Cold World

[Intro: Tasha Catour] Gunnin' Gunnin', Gunnin' Everybody want something for their nothing [Hook: Tasha Catour] (x4) We live in a cold, cold world [Verse 1: Lecrae] These folks is killin for less money than they can borrow Create annual Sorrow for families left feeling hollow Then the son of a gun victim flashing out his anger Colorin cartoons of strangers who're getting strangled And a daughter let a stranger, the school call him counselor Do some dirty things, but he promise that he will counsel her Baby momma can't identify the man that killed him It's the same low town dealer that she always get the pills from And the son is getting older, streets are making him colder But his momma's out cold, cause she ain't never quite sober His sister 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 McDonald's selling poison, got people working for cheap and The military, drug's, or prison the only way to eat, man It's cold in the streets, let the track bring the heat in [Hook] [Verse 2: Lecrae] This world's cold like no clothes and snow blowing 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 and she valet her lil' 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 the lady of the night And she saw him in the park with his daughter, they're 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, another 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 [Hook]
