Freddie Gibbs - World So Cold lyrics

The most perfect mistake I made
Really knew that I gave it raw
To any bitch I laid
But I did it whether love or
Lust it ain’t no thing
Just can’t wait for you see the light
Of day so I pick yo name
Watch you take yo first breath stumble
And take yo first step
Speak yo first word, yes I’m so blessed
To be a part of something greater than me
So you you can be anything
You dedicated to be
Cuz I ain’t dedicate myself to
Nuttin’ but these streets
So this how we gotta eat
From pills to green leafes
Rocks to white powder
Butter to raise cheddar
Got the blood of a thug but you
Gon’ be raised better than that
And I know that I’d be filled with joy
Whether he blessed me with a
Healthy girl or boy i'mma praise you
Even though it's hard to raise
You in a world a world so cold

It feels like I’m barely breathin’
And the blood in my veins
So close to freezin’ my
Momma raised me but she couldn’t
Save me from a world a world so cold
Cause when a nigga barely make it
He forget how to ask for shit he just take it
I can raise you but I can’t
Save you from a world a world so cold

Yo I can keep it in a
Needle in a dope fiend vein
80s through the present seen
The dope scene bang
Lookin’ at 80 years over 14 thangs
Momma prayin’ for a son with
Hopes that he change
Hope’s that he’ll get it together
He make her nervous
Just the thought of her attending
A child funeral service
What a horrifying sight to see
Not a healthy way of life but
It’s the life for me
So now I gotta make life right for
You or my life’s a waste
Me and yo Momma argue everytime
She she my face
She beggin me to settle down but
I don’t play like that
A rollin’ stone so my home’s
Where I lay my hat you know I get right back
I ain’t husband material so I don’t spend
My time like I spend my scratch
But I’mma clothe you, feed you
Never gon’ leave you in a world
A world so cold

It feels like I’m barely breathin’
And the blood in my veins
So close to freezin’ my
Momma raised me but she couldn’t
Save me from a world a world so cold
Cause when a nigga barely make it
He forget how to ask for shit he just take it
I can raise you but I can’t
Save you from a world a world so cold

She’s seven months you gon' be
Here in a lil’ bit move yo momma in
Got the colors for ya room picked
Baby shower, baby shoes, all type of new shit
Sideline hoes I don’t want nuttin’ to do wit
How can I play y’all while I
Watch her carry you around
I got excited from pictures
Of your ultrasound
She told me I'mma have a son and I’m the one
And she at the doctor’s office for a visit
Can I come
Dead Silence, News got it dead in the room
Pregnancy complications left you dead
In the womb maybe I take the blame God
Punish me for old sins
The tears hit me when I think
Of what you could have been
I flame jane try to smoke away the pain
But I know the bond that
We made wasn’t in vain
Could have been my little Freddie
But I guess you wasn’t ready for a world
A world so cold

It feels like I’m barely breathin’
And the blood in my veins
So close to freezin’ my
Momma raised me but she couldn’t
Save me from a world a world so cold
Cause when a nigga barely make it
He forget how to ask for shit he just take it
I can raise you but I can’t
Save you from a world a world so cold
