Cold World
I-Rocc Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uh cold world bitch I'm out here by myself
Uh cold world I don't really need help
Uh cold world, I put them racks up on the shelf
My Heart cold, I swear I'm numb to pain
I'm on to sum, I pray I make it through the rain
Nothing but fake love, boy I put that on name
I miss big bro, you know I'm screaming free Jermaine
I make these songs for myself, don't want the fame
The ones you love treat you bad so I just keep my distance
Love you the most when I'm venting just sit back and listen
Chasing bags, I'm looking back from rags to richest
And I been through so much growing up in the trenches
Say on my soul, you can't walk uh mile in my shoes
And I'm still 10 toes down after everything I've been through
I know they hate to see me breathing everyday eating
Hate to see you broke, getting money really easy
Go to sleep what I'm dreaming, this money what I'm dreaming
Can't be sipping on the drink ain't got time to be leaning
Going broke to get high, man you niggas really feening
Rest in peace king von, I say I love you then I mean it
I don't do no capping in these songs i ain't preaching
I can't have him round, if la homie steady leaching
Get up and get a bag, man you niggas really sleeping
Catch up no mustard, man y'all got me sneezing
Shoutout to nene I swear I love you and I mean it
You stamped the blue hearts, I ain't tryna turn them black
Its 2022 I cut you off no coming back
Ain't got time to be playing, I'm on a mission getting racks
It really fucked me up, found out my grandma on crack
Uncle died on my bday still asking where he at




Them the 2 I love the most, lord why you did me that
So much pain up in me, you play with me you getting stretched
