[Intro]
It's a cold world! So cold!
It's a cold world! Better bundle up!
[Verse 1: Impakt]
Fresh out the woods where wolves roam and snakes scheme
Where friendly faces lurk and sell you fake dreams
You can slip if you not in control
Watch out for the beast that'll swallow you whole
In one hit I get the venom and send 'em into the slaughterhouse
I get 'em just where I want 'em and then I knock 'em out
Temperature rise when the heat is on, I won't fold
I fear no evil, another victim to the mind control
I'll rip you apart, get the fuck out the water if you can't swim with the sharks
I'm a great white, deep in the realness where the fakes suffer
You hear that tickin'? Then you best done fuckin' take cover
On all these specific heathens that in need of some stickin'
Lay in the fetal position, believe you're leavin' addicted
Feelin' the sickness, need a prescription, refusing to take
I'm moving the place, get strangled 'til you're blue in the face
[Interlude: Prodigy, Panama P.I., & Big Pun]
There's a war going on outside no man is safe from
As we move through these evil streets
There's a war going on outside no man is safe from
The foundation, you're facin' a whole army
[Verse 2: Swann]
Welcome to the dark windows, the evil symbolic imagery
Where everything exists as a part of The Devil's infantry
Head of the industry, demons out for your every penny
Sign the dotted line and see where your soul will slowly end up
Fed up with the action, the government flippin' on civilians
Pestilence is spreadin' rapidly, so women and children feed off of the lies they tell us
Dependent on last resorts, New World Order's fuckin' us, making us people poor
Just a number in society under a telescope
Anunnaki abductin' our bodies for an anal probe
This cold world that we live in always sick and never givin' a breath
We fight for revolution, it ain't a quest
[Chorus: Jah Youth]

[Interlude: Prodigy, Panama P.I., & Big Pun]
There's a war going on outside no man is safe from
As we move through these evil streets
There's a war going on outside no man is safe from
The foundation, you're facin' a whole army
[Verse 3: Methadist]
In this cold world, it's all called life, so fuck the government
Hold these, fuck the police, put your tongue on it
The North Pole, get your shit stuck, I laugh because of it
There's no love, shiver your back and froze up and covered with
Sleet, snow, big bad blizzards, give 'em no other shit
Like an avalanche, rollin' up on 'em tighter than rubber grips
Squeeze tight, say goodnight, that's all some other shit
Jack Frost, tell 'em to back off or get crushed with it
This cold world created cold cats with cold smiles
Cold hearts carry cold chrome
We carry sharp blades, pack ice picks, whatever works
And so fuck it 'cause it's all about who gettin' who first
[Verse 4: Raw B Snatch]
It's a cold world but listen I would never rock a furry coat
Keep it hood with the raw, street is on some heavy dope
Dead in the middle of Little India's where I'm at
Silly with the riddles, you'll get killed up in my habitat
Shout out to Regent Park, big ups to Walpole
Jane and Finch, Scarborough, Malvern, and L'Amoreaux
Life's a tightrope, I'm up here balancing
I'll do the devil's work 'til it's lights out and I'm down with him
Resident Evil, no pessimist equal
You'll get hit by the strays of a Desert Eagle
No money's laundered so the cheddar's legal
Act loco then you endin' up a dead amigo
[Interlude: Prodigy, Panama P.I., & Big Pun]
There's a war going on outside no man is safe from
As we move through these evil streets
There's a war going on outside no man is safe from
The foundation, you're facin' a whole army
[Verse 5: M Deezy]
It's a cold world, my jewels lookin' the same
My older homie told me hate is just a part of the game
Learn to accept it, yeah, it comes with fortune and fame
The block's hotter than the kitchen when I'm whippin' up caine
There's a war going on outside no man is safe from
You either lose your life or take one
I've been ridin' out since day one
Them haters livin' a lie, see the pain just by the look in my eyes
My shit's the same, why you lookin' surprised
Fess up, hot doggin' in this bitch, catch up
They want to see me wet up, I'm cheffin' when it's beef
Married to the game, forever loyal to the streets
