Raz Simone - Cold lyrics

[Verse 1] These days, s** is like a handshake We thought we had it down, but the plans changed I remember saving myself, for marriage but a few notches just came on this belt (Oh oh...) Me inside of a woman When I leave I take a piece of her soul I try to hold on cause I don't like letting mine go But in this fast life, nothing moves slow So we honor a few principles With loyalty to only a few individuals People are surprised when pastors are more hypocritical Than your average criminal I'm just trying not to freeze up in the cold Weaving in the snow, the battlefield of connected souls The weapons we hold, will pierce the flesh to the bone The methods I've chose, will make a house less of a home Fast fixes, our families turn the microwave on We like to play God But take on too long of a case load Then we pray LORD Behind the bars of a jail owned By men who'd rather see us oppressed till we have frail souls -Than sell hope They stick it to us like velcro [Hook] Cold The way they be doing my kind They say I'm too Cold The way I be living my life They say I'm too Cold From the sh** that I've seen What I've been thru, just living my dreams Cold The way I be feeling sometimes I be feeling too Cold [Verse 2] Word, that's what a brother be tripping on I would say f** b**hes But that's a different song If you getting money, we can get along Did I do right by all the women who did me wrong? They blaming the poisons that they be sipping on Like that vodka cran last night was way too stiff and strong Bending laws, that's why I was hanging all on that n***a's arm Cold Reverse-osmosis-menopause Do you think it's okay to lie because you've been lied to? Or to play your man because your last lover two-timed you? Hurting people hurt, and lies are like the flu Deception is contagious and who really likes the truth? Check your Santa Claus, your parents even lied to you For no apparent reason, your parents even two-timed you, too And that's not something that I would do I told my son Santa Claus was fake and he said, "you're lyin' dude." [Hook] [Verse 3] Never trust a man without a watch Watch out for a woman without a job Lack luster, lack purpose, lack structure Back busters, looking like leeches with crutches These days, I be pointing 'em out Taking the right at the fork in the road while they go south They try to make me re-route They wonder why I be out of the way And wonder why I don't answer my phone for a thousand days Look my brother, I'm just trying to get up out this maze And figure out some things, plus I got amounts of rage That shouldn't be let out this cage Unless it's from my mouth to page I'm about some change, you're about some change I'm about to change my number and get up out the states Pull out the calamari, and pull out the steaks Order everything on the page and leave without a taste And listen as the stories perspire about me from out their veins [Hook x2]
