Cold Outside

Nigga we home-grown
It ain't no one to trust but me

Heard one of these locked up
And it ain't no choices 'cause it's cold outside
See my mama's cooled out and she's crying

And I see the case close

I ain't learned no lessons, but these snitches
Even if we subject to change
Some say it's slippery when wet
Got to find a safe place
And it ain't no choices 'cause it's cold outside
I'm peepin' hard crimes
You folks just don't understand
Man, I can hear that wind blowing
Excuse my French, but goddammit
It ain't no one to trust but me
And to my niggas on the block
Because my boss is getting on my motherfucking nerves
I can see them shamed faces
On the grind and hustlin' tryin' to sell some rocks
And they givin' out some hard times

Or we gonna be chopping some heads
'Cause they say so
Man, y'all look at me like y'all grew up
And we gonna be rocking some beds
It's all about the way of them girls
And it ain't no choices 'cause it's cold outside
You hear the voices say it's cold outside

And I bought a full house and I watched
On the grind and hustlin' tryin' to sell some rocks

We waiting too long
Coming in the court with some pride
Better lay low

See rappin' is my only way
On the grind and hustlin' tryin' to sell some rocks

But I got a little dope and some green
But I got to take it 'cause it's cold outside
I'm hiding out and smokin' herb
They be puttin' them bodies in bags
Scams and dirty work came up on
See rappin' is my only way
Oh, I wish I could get some cream

But the D E C and Southwest Atlanta
But I keep a little hope and some dreams
Better stay in silence or go
Better keep inside with your know
And to my niggas on the block

Even though some might disagree
And throw them suits on
They be cuttin' them bodies on slabs
And the A P D steadily talking
But I picked the wrong clothes
Pick nigger it's more folks than you
And to those that couldn't take the pressure
And I'll put a knife on it
And it's not as good as it seems
Is too strong
Locked up and they didn't do a thang
In the same places
Got to keep a straight face
And it ain't no choices 'cause it's cold outside
Well, niggas it's been snowing
And they got to re-up and re-slab

You say it don't get cold in C P

And to my niggas on the block
And get up out of the hood with some dreams
It's all about supply and demand
It's all about supply and demand
My mama told me just to save it for another day
You folks just don't understand
I got some clever friends
I'm hiding out and smokin' herb
We might bring that soap out and wash up
Because my boss is getting on my motherfucking nerves

I put my life on it
And I got to make sure that I take care of my family
Or you'll get zoned on
Then they got to be up and be bad
But my roll got ice on it
Then go to somebody and brag
Trying to find the essence of self
You hear the voices say it's cold outside
It's all about the way of the world
'Cause we ain't got nothing to hide

Locked up because they wouldn't do the same
See rappin' is my only way

But that bitch'll never win
'Do rag with a gat under my belt
'Cause uh

But I got to take it 'cause it's cold outside

And we gonna be dropping some eggs
My mama told me just to save it for another day
Pick never come close to a clue
A day to day basis

And I got to make sure that I take care of my family
Nigga they long gone
See the system's fucked up
And I try to stay focused and clean
'Cause we done found something
Now they got to re-up and re-bag
But I got to make it 'cause it's cold outside
Locked up because of the pressure and pain

My mama told me just to save it for another day
Man, I see the clouds coming
I see a crowd running
And to my niggas on the block
Skeet 25 lighters on dressers
But I got to make it 'cause it's cold outside
Y'all see a man on the moon walking
And my people snortin' hard lines
But I got to take it 'cause it's cold outside
And I got to make sure that I take care of my family
You hear the voices say it's cold outside
When business is still slowing
I can't ask no questions and it's over
The woman's heart melt
It's all about them diamonds and pearls
My mama told me just to save it for another day
Even all them dollars and change
But I got to take it 'cause it's cold outside
Because my boss is getting on my motherfucking nerves
Want to disrespect, give me your neck
Because my boss is getting on my motherfucking nerves
That uh
On the grind and hustlin' tryin' to sell some rocks
See rappin' is my only way
'Cause life's throwing strong blows
Come up out them diamonds and rings
It ain't no one to trust but me
I'm hiding out and smokin' herb
This game'll never end
Just didn't know what laws to abide
It's all about me buying some land
They might get set back by some wench
Pick figure it's more stuff to do
'Cause it's heart-felt
It's all about me buying some land
You hear the voices say it's cold outside
We walk a long road

That uh
I play the cards dealt

But I got to make it 'cause it's cold outside
Or end up a waste case
I'm hiding out and smokin' herb
