[Intro]

Feel like I'm just lost

Satan got my mind (Father, help me)

But I'm tryin' to break free

I don't know which way to go (I really don't know)

I just don't know (Tell me, Lord)

I just don't know (I just don't know)


[Verse 1]

I sit alone in the basement facing, chasing these wicked demons

Got thoughts up in my head of my daddy wasted semen

Had to hurl in the bedroom, 911 'cause I'm not breathin'

Feelin' like death is gettin' closer and I can't stop from succeedin'

Do I run to the mirror? Look at me and pull the trigger

Honky said body found dead in the park, well, shit, it's just another dead nigga

My future lookin' weary, hear me

Bitty-bitty that wanna flex, he wanna hustle

Never lay down or bring the tussle

Take my life in one night

Now I'm havin' visions

Do or Die based on decisions

Movin' bricks, stones is the missions

But I wanna be free and fly away like pigeons

I'm missin' my family and all

But I just don't know, God

'Cause I just forgot the dog in the backyard

And he jab with the left and he hit hard

But I pray to God, my God


[Chorus]

They ask why I stay blowed

'Cause the world's gettin' too cold

We yellin' out that O

Watch the world unfold and picture this (Picture this)

Cold, cold world

They ask why I stay blowed

'Cause the world's gettin' too cold

We yellin' out that O

Watch the world unfold and picture this (Picture this)

Cold, cold world


[Verse 2]

Picture two worlds collidin', every civilization dyin'

Catchin' bullet holes, you can still hear they mamas cryin'

And every second is the grave laid tight

Niggas gettin' murdered and losin' paper and they life

These days ain't so bright now

This is a message to our shorties, gotta pipe down

I know we all wants to wear the crown on the streets

We hear the sound of the heat and every round is takin' you six feet

I heard the cops killed you last week

You got shot tryna take the phone off the seat

Rest in peace, I know it's better where your eyes sleep

God, take us by the hands as we ride deep

No longer seek for the things that weaken the flesh

Did we believe and have faith when it bothered us?

I understand that we all must return to dust

And leave behind everything that our hands have touched

God, this world is too much


[Chorus]

They ask why I stay blowed

'Cause the world's gettin' too cold

We yellin' out that O

Watch the world unfold and picture this (Picture this)

Cold, cold world

They ask why I stay blowed

'Cause the world's gettin' too cold

We yellin' out that O

Watch the world unfold and picture this (Picture this)

Cold, cold world


[Verse 3]

Popped a fist, took a breather

Heard a voice for the one mind

Nigga tried take my lifeline

Get it back into my right mind

Seein' blood on the sleeve and the black 9

Please, God, is it my time?

Hold on, seen this face before

Black as the night was

In the place where no light was

Wonder what the wind blew in

Be low with a slug to the womb

Hope it ain't time for the tomb

Looking for the hospital room

Feelin' kinda dizzy from the bloodshed

Turn around and heard a thug said

"I got a place we can all fled"

Hopped in a '99 Navigator, all red

Pull off quick before we all dead

Took the back roads, sippin' Hennessy

Then I relocated to the Astro

It was now that the bulletproof vest go

Holler let's go

Pull a chrome M3 with the mask on

Just a minute, took a testicle

Then we leave it by the vestibule

And it's best to know

Every dog got a day, got a chance to pray

Gotta change for the best, though

Don't wanna die in my bed slow

And even in my best clothes

Let's say a prayer for the world and the cold ones

From the old to the small ones

Just to say that we all one

Father, listen, this world is cold as—


[Bridge]

This world is cold

This world is cold (Father, listen)

This world is cold

This world is cold


[Chorus]

They ask why I stay blowed

'Cause the world's gettin' too cold

We yellin' out that O

Watch the world unfold and picture this (Picture this)

Cold, cold world

They ask why I stay blowed

'Cause the world's gettin' too cold

We yellin' out that O

Watch the world unfold and picture this (Picture this)

Cold, cold world
