Cold World
MellowHigh feat. Earl Sweatshirt and Remy Banks Lyrics

Swerving in a hooptie, but a nigga not drunk
I may be driving an old car, but I am not under the influence of alcohol

I'm high off of life, with a pinch of skunk
I am experiencing a natural high from living life to the fullest, with a little bit of marijuana

Maybe high off of determination, but I'm low on luck
I am motivated and determined, but I have been unlucky in my endeavors

Because we've been putting on for years, and people still be counting sheep on us
We have been working hard for a long time, but people still underestimate us

But its cool, I be that offspring dressed in all wolf clothing
But that's okay, I am the result of my ancestors' resilience and strength

With a mallet and a bell, just awaiting a rude awakening
I am ready for a wake-up call or a change in the current situation

Out here yellin' World's Fair until the name ring
I am proudly representing my group, World's Fair, until we gain recognition and success

Hailing from a place where every nigga wanna be king
I come from a neighborhood where everyone aspires to be successful and powerful

Plus this world is too cold, so I keep myself circle small
This world is harsh and unforgiving, so I only surround myself with a few trustworthy individuals

Puffing chronic with my dogs, chilly, but we holding down the city
I am smoking marijuana with my close friends, despite the cold weather, and we are representing our city well

And my burrow, feelin' unstoppable like Tetsuo
In my neighborhood, I feel invincible and powerful, just like Tetsuo, a character from the movie Akira

Akira in the membrane Queens get the money
I am referencing the movie Akira once again, implying that I have inner strength like the character in the movie, and I am representing Queens, NY

Yet I'm broke and going insane, stressed out my brain
Despite my financial struggles, I am mentally overwhelmed and stressed

'Til it left on a train to Connecticut for the weekend
My sanity has temporarily left me and taken a break, just like a train going to Connecticut for the weekend

Might extended stay until I'm diving in the deep end
It is possible that my mental state will worsen until I reach a point of no return

Of a pool full of Euros, Pounds, and Yen, let's get this money, man
I am referring to a metaphorical pool filled with different currencies, suggesting that I am determined to make money

L said it's cold in this world, sometimes it's hard for me to crack a smile
L, referencing Earl Sweatshirt, explains that life can be difficult and it's challenging for him to find happiness

That real shit is going out of style
Authenticity and genuine experiences are becoming less common and popular

These young niggas out here acting buck wild
Many young people are behaving recklessly and without care

We just need that real shit right now
We are craving authenticity and genuine experiences at this moment in time

For what it's worth, a nigga made his way from the dirt
Despite the challenges, I have risen up from difficult circumstances

All the times I went berserk, all ideas that didn't work
I have had moments of losing control and many ideas that didn't come to fruition

But we cherish when we hurt, we finished dinner and dessert
We appreciate the lessons learned from pain and adversity, and we celebrate our achievements

For every thought that hurt for the piece that I deserve I'm on the search
I am on a quest to find what I truly deserve and fulfill my potential, despite the hardships

Many times a nigga felt that he would give in
There have been moments when I felt like giving up

Every dream that I would witness with previous premonitions
Every dream I have had was predicted by my past experiences and gut feelings

I knew that I would be this
I always had a sense that I would become who I am today

It's never been a secret took a genius to believe it or an elitist to achieve it
I always knew my potential, and it didn't require genius intelligence or elitism to accomplish it

I'm runnin' overheated, but practice what I'm preachin'
I am working hard and pushing myself to my limits, while also practicing what I believe in

Never sleep and we catch you slippin' and throw you in the deep end
We are always alert and ready to take advantage of any opportunity that arises

I know some niggas died over pride, high
I am aware of individuals who have lost their lives due to their own stubbornness and ego

I know some fake niggas claim they ride, that's a lie
I know people who pretend to be loyal and trustworthy, but it is all a lie

I know some hating niggas that when I rhyme, they despise
I am aware of individuals who hate on me and my abilities when I perform and showcase my talent

Wish I could share these visions through eyes
I wish I could make others see and understand my creative visions and ideas

High like a fucking revolutionary
I feel a sense of empowerment and rebellion, similar to a revolutionary

I'm droppin' knowledge, and its only knowledge you should carry
I am sharing valuable information and wisdom, and it is the only knowledge you should hold onto

Bitch, I'm the truth and everybody know the truth is scary
I am asserting that I am genuine and honest, and it can be intimidating for others to face the truth

Looking for shit to scratch up off this bucket list
I am searching for experiences and achievements to tick off my list of goals

Found a tug of war between my mother and my fucking friends
I am caught in a conflict between the expectations of my family and the influence of my friends

Fucking bucket, bumping nothing in the summer
I am driving around aimlessly in a beat-up car during the summer, not caring about much

Trying to chug a fifth of Jack in case you wondering where the ruckus went
I am attempting to drink a large amount of whiskey to create chaos and excitement

I kept in the baggie of Oregano
Instead of drugs, I have only oregano in a baggie, pretending to be involved in illegal activities

Fronting like I'm selling dope, stunting with my effort low
I am pretending to be involved in drug dealing, acting cool and confident, while actually lacking motivation

Let the records show these niggas why they bitches neck is swole
I want my achievements and talents to prove to others why they feel inferior or envious

It's OFM to the death of us, pigs, try to hem us up
The collective, OFM (Our Future Music), will stay united and loyal to one another, even if the police try to arrest us

The best wrestler's back guzzling seconds up
I, as the best wrestler, am back and quickly consuming more success and victories

Using label checks to fuck around in the Cressida
I am spending the money I receive from record labels to have fun and enjoy myself in my car, a Toyota Cressida

And I'm advocating aggression
I am promoting assertiveness and assertive behavior

To any man who would test us, an avid fan of the presence of vodka
I encourage anyone who wants to challenge us to be prepared, as I am a fan of alcohol and its effects

This drink is like my first time hearing Flocka
The feeling I get from this drink is similar to the excitement and intensity I felt when I first heard Waka Flocka Flame's music

Hope is what the weed can't offer
Marijuana cannot provide the same level of hope and positivity that I need

Cheap ass, coughing, C class method actor, young nigga
I am a broke and unskilled individual, pretending to be more sophisticated and talented than I actually am

Dressing like I'm geriatric, said it's very active
I am dressing like an elderly person, but still claiming to be active and vibrant

Strong arm, steady swearing I could tear a mattress
I am displaying physical strength and confidence, boasting that I could easily tear apart a mattress

Track slapping 'em silly as Tom and Jerry tactics
The track I am performing on is impressively powerful and energetic, similar to the slapstick humor and antics in Tom and Jerry cartoons

Why you started? I fire harder than every rapper
I question why other rappers even started their careers, as I rap with more intensity and passion than all of them

Gassing these fairies, dare I say that he carry matches?
I am hyping up these fake and weak rappers, sarcastically asking if they can even light a match

Hey, you think it's a God damn joke, don't you?
You believe this is all a joke, don't you?

Well, let me tell you something boy
Well, let me explain something to you

It's life around here, and in life, you're gonna have to go to school
This is how life is in this environment, and in life, you will need to learn important lessons

L said it's cold in this world, sometimes it's hard for me to crack a smile
L, referencing Earl Sweatshirt, explains that life can be difficult and it's challenging for him to find happiness

That real shit is going out of style
Authenticity and genuine experiences are becoming less common and popular

These young niggas out here acting buck wild
Many young people are behaving recklessly and without care

We just need that real shit right now
We are craving authenticity and genuine experiences at this moment in time

L said it's cold in this world, somehow it's hard for me to crack a smile
L, referencing Earl Sweatshirt, explains that life can be difficult and it's challenging for him to find happiness

That real shit is going out of style
Authenticity and genuine experiences are becoming less common and popular

These young niggas out here acting buck wild
Many young people are behaving recklessly and without care

They just need that real shit right now
They are desperately seeking authenticity and genuine experiences

No confusion apparent, I know who I am
I am confident and clear about my identity and purpose

Responsibility enables me to move through life with agility
Taking responsibility for my actions allows me to navigate through life with ease and flexibility

Home donors, pressure in the endzone, but I breeze by skillfully
Even when faced with challenges and pressure, I handle them with skill and ease

Practice makes perfect said the wise man, or so his whole life span
The wise man believes that continuous practice leads to perfection, something he has learned throughout his entire life

They said a man was part of the sea
There is a saying that a man is connected to the vastness of the ocean

By hand, what? Could he divide land?
But how, using only his hands, can he separate land and make distinctions?

Coast West like a took a Vyvanse, I'm just a bystander
I am coasting along the West Coast as if I took a Vyvanse, a prescription drug used for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and I am merely observing from the sidelines

And what you capture in my stanzas is a crossbreed
What you find within my verses is a mixture of different styles and influences

Og and banana
A combination of old-school and new-school flavors

A jealous man I envy, cause a jealous man is friendly
I envy those who are jealous of me because their envy is an indication of their admiration and desire to be friends with me

Award him like a Grammy, or rather Emmy
I would give this jealous man recognition like a Grammy, indicating his high level of accomplishment or talent, or perhaps an Emmy for his acting skills

Television all science, and music is just enough to ear a Q-tip
Television is presented as scientific and factual, while music is considered only as important as cleaning one's ears with a Q-tip

Where the proof sits that smells like bull shits
Where is the evidence that supports these claims? It seems to be full of lies and deception

Ain't it a shame when a nigga can't be honest?
It is unfortunate when someone is incapable of being truthful or genuine

And it's whats-her-name that can't keep a promise
There is a person, whose name is not worth remembering, that consistently fails to keep her promises

Mind is with my Comcast
My mind is occupied with various thoughts, similar to how one's attention is always captured by a television with Comcast cable service

Watching what I do before it's on them dot-coms and hashtags, nigga
People are observing and monitoring my every move before it becomes viral on websites and social media platforms
