Lyrics Cold World - DMX feat. Adreena Mills

Does it really get this cold in the summer
Does it really get this dark in the day
Do they really turn their backs when you talkin'
When they lay somebody else's head where you lay
Do they find it easy to be hard
I 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 is thicker than water
If a man can see then 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

'Cause this is a cold world,(what)
Cold world, oh
We make it this way, but we don't like it this way
I said this is a cold world,(what)
Cold world, oh
We make it this way, but we don't like it this way

Cats don't know what to say when they talkin'
So I just let a nigga say what he feel
Fuckin' with the kid, they gon' end up in a coffin
'Cause I'ma say what I gotta say with the steel
Niggas hatin' 'cause I got a job
I know it's their job to be hatin'
I'm a dog so I don't fuck with cats
'Cause they gon' have me livin in the state pen
It's bout time I reacted
Look at 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
Thought I'ma change by time, niggas don't know me
But you can't hold somethin'
You ain't got it, show me

This is a cold world
Cold world, oh
We make it this way, but we don't like it this way
I said this is a cold world
Cold world, oh
We make it this way, but we don't like it this way

The tunnel looks brighter from behind but you gotta keep movin', movin'
Because if life starts spinnin' in the right direction, who's losin, losin
See in the night, I pray to keep me breathin'
To see another day to give 'em something to believe in
'Cause I know it won't always be this way
When you're tryin' hard to make a change
