it's a cold world
but it's warmin' up
we ain't got no choice but to run it up
it ain't just one
it's a hundred of us
might not mean much to you
but mean somethin' to us
it's a cold world
but it's warmin' up
we ain't got no choice but to run it up
it ain't just one
it's a hundred of us
might not mean much to you
but mean somethin' to us
wanted
black man hunted
shot down
gunned up
handcuffed
punished
fightin' for the basics
to them
we just a number
willie lynch-ed you niggas
you still wanna kill your brother?
made you pledge allegiance
lied and told you we was equal
read between the lines
being black is still illegal
killed off all our leaders
no more power to the people
here we go again
this shit lookin' like a sequel
and they know it's shady
treat they pets more humanely
i know y'all ain't crazy
mr. foreign
project babies
if we don't come together
then it's never gonna change
'cause niggas killed my daddy before i could say his name
it's a cold world
it's a cold world
but it's warmin' up
we ain't got no choice but to run it up
it ain't just one
it's a hundred of us
might not mean much to you
but mean somethin' to us
it's a cold world
but it's warmin' up
we ain't got no choice but to run it up
it ain't just one
it's a hundred of us
might not mean much to you
but mean somethin' to us
they keep killin' us
no charges
hope you niggas watchin'
what? we just gon' keep on marchin'?
we gon' keep on bangin'? twistin' up them fingers?
'til we make some changes
niggas can't do no complainin'
wait
hold up
let me finish
y'all know that i get it
yeah
it's plenty hood niggas out here doin' good business
but you know they don't see that
if you black
you sell drugs
and police cannot protect what they afraid of
jealousy breeds enemies
these niggas be envious
made it out
gave back
you took that
can't be serious
politician private prisons got us fillin' up the jails
we can't keep on beggin' for a time to help ourselves
it's a cold world
it's a cold world
but it's warmin' up
we ain't got no choice but to run it up
it ain't just one
it's a hundred of us
might not mean much to you
but mean somethin' to us
it's a cold world
but it's warmin' up
we ain't got no choice but to run it up
it ain't just one
it's a hundred of us
might not mean much to you
but mean somethin' to us
