World So Cold
Freddie Gibbs Lyrics

The most perfect mistake I made
Acknowledging that the decision made was not perfect, but it played a significant role in shaping his life

Really knew that I gave it raw
He was fully aware that he gave his all in the situation

To any bitch I laid
Referring to the women he had relationships with, without necessarily valuing those connections deeply

But I did it whether love or Lust it ain't no thing
Regardless of whether it was love or purely physical desire, it didn't matter much to him

Just can't wait for you see the light Of day so I pick yo name
Anticipating the birth of his child, he eagerly chooses a name for them

Watch you take yo first breath stumble And take yo first step
Witnessing and supporting his child's early milestones

Speak yo first word, yes I'm so blessed
Feeling grateful and fortunate to witness his child's first words

To be a part of something greater than me So you you can be anything You dedicated to be
Recognizing that his child is a part of something bigger than himself and encouraging them to pursue their dreams wholeheartedly

Cuz I ain't dedicate myself to Nuttin' but these streets
Acknowledging that he has only committed himself to the life of the streets

So this how we gotta eat From pills to green leafes Rocks to white powder Butter to raise cheddar
Describing the various illegal and illicit activities he engages in to survive and make money

Got the blood of a thug but you Gon' be raised better than that
Although he comes from a background of criminality, he intends to raise his child in a more positive and nurturing environment

And I know that I'd be filled with joy Whether he blessed me with a Healthy girl or boy i'mma praise you
Expressing that he would be overjoyed regardless of the gender of his child and he will shower them with love

Even though it's hard to raise You in a world a world so cold
Acknowledging the difficulties of raising a child in a harsh and unforgiving world

It feels like I'm barely breathin' And the blood in my veins So close to freezin' my Momma raised me but she couldn't Save me from a world a world so cold
Feeling suffocated and overwhelmed by the challenges of life, recognizing that even his mother couldn't protect him from the harsh realities of the world

Cause when a nigga barely make it He forget how to ask for shit he just take it
When someone is struggling to survive, they may resort to taking what they need instead of asking for help

I can raise you but I can't Save you from a world a world so cold
Although he can provide for his child and be a father figure, he cannot shield them completely from the harshness of the world

Yo I can keep it in a Needle in a dope fiend vein 80s through the present seen The dope scene bang
Describing his familiarity with the drug scene and how it has persisted from the 80s until now

Lookin' at 80 years over 14 thangs Momma prayin' for a son with Hopes that he change
Reflecting on the potential consequences he faces due to his involvement in criminal activities, while his mother hopes for his redemption

Hope's that he'll get it together He make her nervous Just the thought of her attending A child funeral service
His mother worries about him not getting his life together and fears the possibility of attending her own child's funeral

What a horrifying sight to see Not a healthy way of life but It's the life for me
Acknowledging the destructive nature of his lifestyle, yet feeling trapped and unable to extricate himself from it

So now I gotta make life right for You or my life's a waste
Realizing that it is his responsibility to create a better life for his child or else his own existence would be meaningless

Me and yo Momma argue every time She see my face She beggin me to settle down but I don't play like that
Describing the strained relationship with his child's mother, who urges him to change his ways and become more committed, which he is reluctant to do

A rollin' stone so my home's Where I lay my hat you know I get right back
As a restless and transient individual, he doesn't have a permanent home and is always on the move

I ain't husband material so I don't spend My time like I spend my scratch
Admitting that he is not suited to be a faithful and committed husband, unlike how he spends his money frivolously

But I'mma clothe you, feed you Never gon' leave you in a world A world so cold
Pledging to fulfill his responsibilities as a provider and caregiver for his child, ensuring they have their basic needs met

She's seven months you gon' be Here in a lil' bit move yo momma in
Referring to the upcoming arrival of his child, planning to have the child's mother move in with him

Got the colors for ya room picked Baby shower, baby shoes, all type of new shit
Preparing for the arrival of his child by choosing decorations and buying new items for the baby, such as baby shower gifts and shoes

Sideline hoes I don't want nuttin' to do wit
Rejecting the involvement of other women in his life and focusing solely on his future as a father

How can I play y'all while I Watch her carry you around
Realizing that he cannot continue to engage in promiscuity while witnessing the pregnancy and the mother's love for their child

I got excited from pictures Of your ultrasound She told me I'mma have a son and I'm the one
Feeling joy and anticipation upon seeing the ultrasound images and being informed that he will have a son, sensing the responsibility that comes with it

And she at the doctor's office for a visit Can I come
Expressing the desire to be present and involved during the doctor's appointments and check-ups

Dead Silence, News got it dead in the room Pregnancy complications left you dead In the womb
A tragic turn of events as the news of complications during the pregnancy results in the loss of the unborn child, leaving an atmosphere of grief and silence

maybe I take the blame God Punish me for old sins
Reflecting on his past mistakes and feeling guilt for the loss of his child, considering it a possible punishment from God

The tears hit me when I think Of what you could have been
Overwhelmed by sadness when he contemplates the potential future and missed opportunities for his child

I flame jane try to smoke away the pain But I know the bond that We made wasn't in vain
Attempting to numb the pain through drug use, but acknowledging that the connection and bond they shared was significant and meaningful

Could have been my little Freddie But I guess you wasn't ready for a world A world so cold
Imagining the child as his own, named after himself, but ultimately accepting that they were not meant to face the harshness of the world
