Cold Light Of Day

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I want to turn this black mourning to a brighter day I want to turn this dark mind to a lighter shade Don't want to waste time, I want to change lives I want to take flight from the cold light of day But my reality hits And that's where sadness, hardship and tragedy lives I handle my biz with people from the land down under Sometimes I'm feeling like a man outnumbered Work life drudgery hurts like buggery And hollowing my soul like termites tunneling Our politicians preach promising purity The main promise that they keeps followed by cuity Get it? Promiscuity jokes I make them But this whole world is the joke I'm raised in Amazed at the pain it may produce And so I change, so I change, so I change my tune It's like... [Chorus] "Cold" "Cold light of day" "Cold light of day" "Cold light of day" "Cold light of day" [Verse 2] This is stress release, welcome to the rest in peace The death of my cousin means that I never sleep McCartney state of mind; let it be With a drink that I flee to like a refugee But my poisons ain't killing me softly When I fiend an almighty high - god speed Truth being the human being is not free When they're tuned in to heaviness like drop D Nu metal, new mortar, new concrete Working like a slave pays for my boss feed When I should be making you shake your cans like Dondi But instead I'm the one that's shook - Mobb Deep I've got to milk my music till I've got cream 'Cause my sons eyes are 2Pac - on me Looking if I've got the goods to raise him properly While living life at 5th gear in top speed It's all like... [Chorus] "Cold" "Cold light of day" "Cold light of day" "Cold light of day" "Cold light of day" [Verse 3] When I think of all the times that I should have said, "F it" I didn't say, "F it", instead I gave effort Careful what you wish for, you might just get it I've spent a lot of life in being Dialectrix Admittedly, my struggles can be quite pathetic But then again they've lit my soul like pyrotechnical shows The devil you know will meet us in the future And if you snooze, you lose like fighting Freddie Kruger I need prosperity for longevity But prophetically we never see the complexities ahead Getting me to bless Plutonic drum rhythms And turn pain into euphoric upliftment My world's at war, peace is the obstacle War is time - constant and unstoppable Time is my enemy, limiting what's possible But enemies are friends whenever they're unconquerable [Chorus] "Cold" "Cold light of day" "Cold light of day" "Cold light of day" "Cold light of day" "Cold" "Cold light of day" "Cold light of day" "Cold light of day" "Cold light of day"
