Cold World - DMX, DMX featuring 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

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

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

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

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
