DMX — Cold World

[Intro: Adreena Mills] Does it really get this cold in the summer Does it really get this dark in the day Do they really turn they backs when you talkin' Would they lay somebody's else's head where you lay Do they find it easy to be hard And find it even harder to be easy You know sometimes I close my eyes and I wonder If I ever left how much you'd miss me Oh, somebody told me blood was thicker than water If a man can say that he can recognize his own daughter And if hell is below would you pay the price to go Then I can make it to heaven for sure [Hook: Adreena Mills] This is a cold world (what), cold world We make it this way, but we don't like it this way This is a cold world (what), cold world We make it this way, but we don't like it this way [Verse 1: DMX] Cats don't know what they say what they talkin' So I just let a nigga say what he feel Fuckin' with the kid they gon' end up in the coffin 'Cause I'ma say what I gotta say with the steel Niggas hatin' 'cause I got a job I know it's they job to be hatin' I'm a dog so I don't fuck with cats 'Cause they gon' have me livin' in a state pen It's about time I reacted Look what y'all did to this rap shit Knowin' niggas is wrong, come on with the cat shit Wack shit, get niggas torn down, slapped quick Blam, blam, blam, go down that quick Actin' like the truth was gone And I'm sayin' gotta deal with the ruthless one It's 2 piece, leave your faggot ass toothless son I go hard, dog don't do it, too late, it's done Hold up, I'ma show you why dog is the illest, kill this You might not catch it, but you'll feel this The realest nigga to ever do it The realest nigga to ever go through it and y'all gon' bring me back to it Y'all gon' make me lose my mind Middle name is grime, came from crime You thought I'ma change with time, niggas don't know me Let your man hold somethin', you ain't got it, nigga show me [Hook: Adreena Mills] This is a cold world, cold world We make it this way, but we don't like it this way This is a cold world, cold world We make it this way, but we don't like it this way [Bridge: Adreena Mills] The tunnel looks bright up from behind but you gotta keep movin', movin', movin' Because if life stops spinnin' in the right direction whose losin', losin', losin', losin' See in the night, I pray to keep me breathin' To see another day to give them somethin' to believe in 'Cause I know it won't always be this way When you tryin' hard to make a change
