Doesn't really get this cold in the summer Doesn't really get this dark in the day Boy they really turn their backs when you talking When they lay somebody's else's head where you lay Know that I ain't easy to be hard I find it even harder to be easy You know sometimes I close my eyes and I wonder If I ever left how much you diss me Yo somebody told me blood is thicker than water If a man can say then he can recognize his own daughter And if hell is below would you pay the price to go Then I can make it to heaven for sure
[Hook] This is a cold world, (what) Cold world We make it this way, but we don't like it this way This is a cold world, (what) Cold world We make it this way, but we don't like it this way

[Hook] This is a cold world Cold world We make it this way, but we don't like it this way This is a cold world Cold world We make it this way, but we don't like it this way
The tunnel looks bright up from behind but you gotta keep moving Moving,moving because if life stops spinning in the right direction You lose it, lose it, lose it ,lose it See in the night, I pray to keep me breathing To see another day to give them something to believe in 'Cause I know I won't waste me this way When you tryin' hard to make a change.
