Cold World

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Roscoe] My best friend died at 14 years old I guess that's why my heart feels so cold I'm deaf, dumb and blind, my eyes and ears closed Heavenly father, please watch over my dear soul I'm lost in the sauce, they call me a lost cause 'Cause I'm quick to launch off, I kick it with raw dogs And it won't be long 'fore I get to prison at all, yo My preacher's try to tell me how my livin' is wrong So as I walk through the valley of the shadow of death It's hard for me to not do somethin' that I'll regret It's hard to not go back to where I sat on the steps And sold crack cocaine and get back on debt Cold Jack and Mary Jane coursin' through my veins Any minute a shell could divorce me from this game Dear Lord, it's a shame, if you live by the sword Then you die by the sword but the sword still remains [Chorus: Whitney Peyton and Roscoe] (It's a cold world, will it be over? We are (?) We're goin' nowhere in this) This world gotta change 'cause this killin' each other and dyin' We been killin' and dyin' for not a thing The world is insane, I'll never trade my soul in for nothing Not even the world (?) (Cold world, will it be over We are (?) We're goin' nowhere) This world gotta change 'cause this killin' each other and dyin' We been killin' and dyin' for not a thing The world is insane, I'll never trade my soul in for nothing Not even the world (?) [Verse 2: Whitney Peyton] I was raised in a closed mind society That tried to make me somethin' that I never had inside of me I always had a rivalry in school, that's why I tried to leave They told me I wouldn't make it off my music, well, they lied to me They would rather see me go get married, be a housewife But I just wanna rap and write, I guess I didn't come out right I spilled my heart downright upon this pad and found life So, just in case you curious, this is what passion sounds like I will always remember, it was a Thursday My friend took her own life the day after her birthday When you're a child every problem seems so massive For every step you take it feels like you takin' two backwards Reality shows don't promote what really matters They don't care if you're intelligent, you sell if you're attractive This is the message and image that we throw at kids Then wonder why they growin' up idolizin' these crackheads [Chorus: Whitney Peyton and Roscoe] (It's a cold world, will it be over? We are (?) We're goin' nowhere in this) This world gotta change 'cause this killin' each other and dyin' We been killin' and dyin' for not a thing The world is insane, I'll never trade my soul in for nothing Not even the world (?) (Cold world, will it be over We are (?) We're goin' nowhere) This world gotta change 'cause this killin' each other and dyin' We been killin' and dyin' for not a thing The world is insane, I'll never trade my soul in for nothing Not even the world (?) [Verse 3: Cool Nutz] Ain't nothin' guaranteed, life is the illest The struggle remains so I'm stuck bein' a realist So many nights I was caught up in the wrong It's a challenge out there so I raise my baby strong Hear the hunger in my pen-game Young, black and thuggin' so death is the endgame On the bricks with a loser's mindset Hope it's a fortune on this Earth so I better find that In my youth had dreams in the classroom Cop that sack and never turn back I was a part of the problem, bruh Buried my friends, that's way too often, bruh Seen 'em all in a coffin, bruh Life's full of issues and now I gotta solve 'em, bruh So my kids have a future now Be a role model and I can only show 'em how [Chorus: Whitney Peyton and Roscoe] (It's a cold world, will it be over? We are (?) We're goin' nowhere in this) This world gotta change 'cause this killin' each other and dyin' We been killin' and dyin' for not a thing The world is insane, I'll never trade my soul in for nothing Not even the world (?) (Cold world, will it be over We are (?) We're goin' nowhere) This world gotta change 'cause this killin' each other and dyin' We been killin' and dyin' for not a thing The world is insane, I'll never trade my soul in for nothing Not even the world (?)
