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
