Chorus
In this cold world hoes grow up out girls
Foes load a clip up send a bullet out a barrel
Tryna walk straight path look a lil narrow
Pa**ion and pain mix feeling till you hurl
In this cold world you never know
Boys grow men, but some men a never grow
Everybody's high, they try to keep it on low
Cold hearted folks, guess they going with the flow
Verse 1
This cold world will turn a man I to a monster
That's prolly why my song play with tonka
And why my daughter be sweeter than willy wonka
When I was street fighter we light up looking like Blanca
Running with my patnas opportunity dodged us
... But jail cells and hell easily found us
Juvenile up in hand cuffs...
That was tough but it only happen to me once
I seen punks succeed and leaders beat up
The honest man struggle and liars live with they feet up
And when that honest man try to make his ends meet up
He was greeted by police right after his last re up
Now the lottery is the only that he see luck
Tryna get them them franklins bring Em in like Aretha
King taught us to dream and Malcolm told us to keep up
Turn the other cheek or you can turn the heat up cuz it's a cold world
Chorus
In this cold world hoes grow up out girls
Foes load a clip up send a bullet out a barrel
Tryna walk straight path look a lil narrow
Pa**ion and pain mix feeling till you hurl
In this cold world you never know
Boys grow men, but some men a never grow
Everybody's high, they try to keep it on low
Cold hearted folks, guess they going with the flow
Verse 2
This cold world a turn a women to the corner
Just to make a couple dollars when she's already a quarter
Caught up between being a mother and somebody's daughter
But the way it's going down is not the way that she was brought up
I seen a women leave a good man with a good plan
Just to play her cards cuz that player had a good hand
But when the Deck shuffle, that lead to scuffle
That joker noticed ya times up
Clocked out & he punched you
Back on front street, that's where he put you
In the valley of the shadow of d**h is where it took you
From living on the edge waiting for him to push you
Hooked him with the p...y & you wonder why he f...ed you
Excuse my vulgarity...
But I don't think it's not other way that they hearing me
I ain't perfect just Ask the people comparing me
Apparently, I be transparent how they stare at me
Chorus
In this cold world hoes grow up out girls
Foes load a clip up send a bullet out a barrel
Tryna walk straight path look a lil narrow
Pa**ion and pain mix feeling till you hurl
In this cold world you never know
Boys grow men, but some men a never grow
Everybody's high, they try to keep it on low
Cold hearted folks, guess they going with the flow
Verse 3
This cold world will turn a baller into A.I
Have them broads open like Trey Songz, Say ahh
When that money go they slide off like KY
And When they say la vi, they don't even say bye
I seen a MC turn into to hammer for the camera
And go from Ja Ruling to sitting up in the slammer
They real as beanie Siegel so they riding like Danica
But what you gonna do when ya a** run out of stamina
These broads like Martin treated Pamela for years
But Gina be the reason that the show went off the air
Life is a roller coaster even tho it ain't fair
To elevate, take the elevator or the stairs
This cold world a give a young man gray hair
Living single have you crazier than Sinclair
Before belly I was thinking like sincere
Prepare to die, who in heavens wanna stay here
Chorus
In this cold world hoes grow up out girls
Foes load a clip up send a bullet out a barrel
Tryna walk straight path look a lil narrow
Pa**ion and pain mix feeling till you hurl
In this cold world you never know
Boys grow men, but some men a never grow
Everybody's high, they try to keep it on low
Cold hearted folks, guess they going with the flow
