Cold World

[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 (?)
