These folks is killing for less money than they can borrow

Create and you will sorrow for families left feeling hollow
If you create harm, you will regret and cause unhappiness to the families left behind.

Then the son of a gun victim fleshing out his anger
The son of a shooting victim is expressing his anger.

Coloring cartoons of strangers who getting strangled

And the daughter let a stranger, the school call him a counselor

Do some dirty things, but he promise that he would counsel her

It's the same low down dealer that she always get her pills from

And the son is getting older, streets is making him colder

But his momma's out cold, cause she ain't never quite sober

His sister's 15, but you probably think that she grown up

'Cause she was with some men, acting way too grown up

And don't nobody care though, the schools ain't teaching

This world's cold like no clothes and snow blown
The world is as cold as being out in the snow with no clothes on.

Like when the devil take the breath out of a baby's nose
The world is also as cold as when the devil takes the life of an innocent baby.

And the people won't hear more metaphors and word-play
People don't want to hear poetic language and figurative speech.

My sister's sick of stripping, she need hope up in my words, man

She pull up to the mall where she valet her little Mercedes
She drives to the mall in her small Mercedes convertible.

Wishing she had some romance, healthy family, couple babies
She wishes she had a romantic partner and a healthy family with children.

And the gentleman she love, he already got a wife
The man she loves is already married.

So she's accepting her plight, she's a lady of the night
She accepts her fate and continues to work as a prostitute.

She accepts her sad reality, she doesn't stand a chance
She realizes she does not have a chance to change her current lifestyle.

One woman gets the man, the other woman gets the dance
One woman gets the commitment of the man, while the other woman only gets his physical affection.

It's a cold world, real cold world
The world is very cold and unforgiving.
