[Intro]
A one-two (A one-two, a one-two)
They don't got a f*ckin' clue of what we went through (Went through)
Uh! One two, One two (One two)
With somebody standin' we can get through
[Verse 1]
Uh!
I get a sense of paranoia
Funny cars turnin' corners not knowin' if it's my turn (Uh)
I kiss my babies on the forehead
Hoping they don't gotta see the shit i been through to learn (Yeah)
Crazy for so many years playin' big homie
Then the tables turn you look around and no one's concerned (Concerned)
Ain't no room to f*ck off, no time when you older
In the long run, would you rather they just cage you or burn? (Huh)
By default you don't fit in they ideology
Bias without apology, highest level of robbery (Uh)
How unrealistic can survival be?
Secret society has all you can want, pain in variety (Anytime)
Typical underdog probably offers a lot to see
Then you turn a celebrity, equal trade for your privacy (Yeah)
Ima make up my own conquered democracy
Common denominator, when it's all done, my Glock and me
[Chorus]
This is my coldest song (Coldest song)
Some pains permanent when in the game
And I been lettin' it go too long (Too long)
(Uh!) Society'll build ya strong
Hard to look at me when you know you're wrong (You're wrong)
(Yeah!) The name will remain
Every legend took out another soldier's born (Born)
Shorty, they been lyin' in ya face all along
[Verse 2]
Uh!
That Willie Lynch note made you look at ya brother different
Light skin to dark skins, black effects of colorism (Right)
That waters deep, you get through it fast through a tunnel vision
Million more with similar scars, some just recover different (Uh-huh)
A question took his resistance, you on ya teeth
Exercise my right to carry offset the crooked police
Public enemy since teethin' (Teethin')
Little ghetto boy, a hood, a pants sag's all a good reason they need
To make it where it's hard to breathe
Another master with achievements on his sleeve (Uh)
At this point, common knowledge is just perspective (Perspective)
They got they own way of thinkin' and disrespectful (Uh)
Confusion lies on the other side of the spectrum
And the mind state is to gamble and deal with it when they catch em'
The ends are given the matters more than the lesson
Easy to idolize when the father neglects em'
[Chorus]
This is my coldest song (Coldest song)
Some pains permanent when in the game
And I been lettin' it go too long (Too long)
(Uh!) Society'll build ya strong
Hard to look at me when you know you're wrong (You're wrong)
(Yeah!) The name will remain
Every legend took out another soldier's born (Born)
Shorty, they been lyin' in ya face all along
