Cold As Ice

[Intro: Kokane]
It seems like the times are getting worser
Before it gets better
Will we choose to raise your conscious mind
And keep your third eye open
To the real

[Chorus]
People in the ghetto
Is running around losing their minds
Cold as ice, cold as ice, cold as ice
So much, trouble
These are the signs of the times
Cold as ice, cold as ice, cold as ice

[Verse 1: Kokane]
Now the rich are getting richer
The poor are getting poorer
Standing on the back of the blacks to get more
They make a gang of T's off wars
If you don't have the right money
They're closing the church doors
I used to listen to Reverend T.D. Jakes
Until I found out that most of these preachers are hella fake
And got the nerve to say bless ya
Getting baptized by a Hollywood cross dresser
If Tyler Perry is your spiritual leader, you niggas lost
Niggas sell they soul at any cost
But I take a knee, like Kaepernick
Why y'all take a blind eye, I never stood for that shit, uh
The black youth is gone
Young niggas run around like children of the corn
Still catching bodies in your residence
While white folks, is training their kids how to be militant

[Chorus]
People in the ghetto
Is running around losing their minds
Cold as ice, cold as ice, cold as ice
So much, trouble
These are the signs of the times
Cold as ice, cold as ice, cold as ice

[Verse 2: Cold 187um]
Now, I understand why Prince wrote doves cry
Put my pain in my music, to stop the tears falling from my eyes
So many homicides, so much genocide
Banging over colors, knowing we love each other deep inside
As the world turns, ain't nothing changes
Politics, money and guns
It's like we living in a rerun
Non stop the A and the K, the bodies drop
The ghettos stay how I cook it, politicians stay on top
Land of the brave
My people were slaves, never got paid
While the master kicked back in the shade
And sipped lemonade
Got us in the ghettos like a plantation
We still grinding in the fields and eating the scraps from they table
And ain't much really changed since Jim Crow
Gay folks and immigrants get more than the negro
It's enough to drive you half out of your mind
The world is a ghetto, and these are the signs of the times

[Chorus]
People in the ghetto
Is running around losing their minds
Cold as ice, cold as ice, cold as ice
So much, trouble
These are the signs of the times
Cold as ice, cold as ice, cold as ice
