Cold World, Pt. I

From the album System Failure by Scottychams

Chorus

Yo, yo and

It’s a cold world

Where everybody’s iced out

I just snatched the dice and

I’m about roll right now

Verse 1

Yo

Living it’s a cold world

A cold world

The truth is going unheard

But y’all have been herding

To the dream

That they been selling

But aint nobody telling you

They leading you to hell in truth

You don’t choose

You’re all lined up

Just to get in too soon

I got to make a move

I mean loving is the mission

Following your passion and then

Always sticking with it

This the only way

You’re ever going to get it

Cause y’all heard it

I’ve said it

I’m talking to the masses

All these kids whose in the classes

Stripped of happiness

For realistic aspirations and vocations

Yo that shit can be contagious

But now I’m standing up to scream

Fuck minimum wages

I’m in rage and though we faceless

The day must

Arrive

Just in time

To never coincide

With these lies

I’m repping up the 9

All the time

I’m following my vision

And I’m trying to switch it

But now they taking mine

And I’m making all these rhymes

Before free speech is finally criminalized

Or we slaves to the banks

And money funding tanks

I’m all up in this dank shit

I’m not thanking no one

Like yeah

We got blessings

But they hide amongst the stressings

And it’s testing my patience

Like pay up

I ain’t one complain but

This a pretty fucked up way

To run the game

But if I say otherwise

You’ll label you insane

But I don’t need a label

Got you thinking on the mainstream

We should all think for one

But rep the same team

Humanity

That’s the vision

Using all this music

To finally get some switches

Kicking it back while we spliffing

Waiting for decisions

That were predetermined

Issues to distract you

While they preaching sermons

And I’m trying to change the verdict

Chorus

Yo, yo and

It’s a cold world

Where everybody’s iced out

I just snatched the dice and

I’m about roll right now

And I’m about roll right now
