[Chorus] I know the world is so cold The world is so cold, but you can never shiver You can never let them see you down I know the world is so cold The world is so cold, but you can never shiver You can never let them see you down [Verse 1] There's no way you can go without a goal taking action Whether it's your pa**ion, not letting life pa** you By, but no matter what, there's always somebody laughing at your dream of owning Porsches Tell them to hold their horses Stop them in their tracks like a space bar, pause bu*ton Pause, cousin, but whose dick is y'all s**ing? Y'all bugging on that insect ish Because y'all don't never uff with a brother, that incest ish It's obvious that this is my life, I'm invested everything that I owe From the skin to the bow This is all that I breathe It's like the power of will, it's all in my will so you can take it all when I leave I'll take a bow when I leave if this earth is a stage Then my life is Broadway with Janelle Monáe I'm feeling A-OK and you should be too when you're dealing with the lames Try to keep it in your brain And... [Chorus] I know the world is so cold The world is so cold, but you can never shiver You can never let them see you down (They want to keep us, they want to keep us, they want to keep us down) I know the world is so cold The world is so cold, but you can never shiver You can never let them see you down (Down, down, down) [Verse 2] Down where they need me to be But now I am done with rest like I ain't needing to sleep My eyes are wide open, mind wired and focused Future is about as clear as the lens in my bifocals But I don't focus on the past or the present When my a** hit eleven, I was past all the presents Ain't like I ever meant it, we're growing up, just being a little bit different It was a real big difference And that's the type of sh** that set me apart like a distance I knew I was special like Olympics But I ain't playing discus, my life is for real Ambitions is getting skinny, looking like it's for real But when I'm losing the weight, that means I'm tired of waiting That means I fired the patience and then I hired to take it As about as high as I'll take it, I don't need no weed And I don't need no weed when I got me, me, me You see... [Chorus] I know the world is so cold The world is so cold, but you can never shiver You can never let them see you down (They want to keep us, they want to keep us, they want to keep us down) I know the world is so cold The world is so cold, but you can never shiver You can never let them see you down (Down, down, down) [Verse 3] I know a lot of people asking, "what it takes to be a legend like Neveral?" You're going to have a couple of haters, trust me, I know, I have several As long as you keep getting better They will never ever, ever, ever, ever get on your level So just let them talk as much as they want Because all that talking they doing can never to the stuff that they want So while they laying in bed, and they dreaming at night You up, perfecting your craft, achieving at night Trust me, I'm right I know! [Chorus] I know the world is so cold The world is so cold, but you can never shiver You can never let them see you down (They want to keep us, they want to keep us, they want to keep us down) I know the world is so cold The world is so cold, but you can never shiver You can never let them see you down (Down, down, down)
