MC Jin, Lyfe Jennings - Cold Outside lyrics
[MC Jin, Lyfe Jennings - Cold Outside lyrics]
It's like I've been waiting my
Whole life for this
For this chance, for y'all to hear me
Some things I gotta get off my chest though
Just so y'all know uh, yeah
They say only the good die young
And wit that said
Ain't don't get no better than me
Ain't coming for my head
I represented for y'all when I
Came through the market
By becoming who I am, I became a target
And what hurts is all the bullshit
Comes from my own kind they say Jin's fake
"He don't keep it real in his rhymes
He make us look soft
That kid ain't commit no crimes"
You damn right want me to say it? Then fine
I ain't a killer I ain't a
Gangster and I ain't no thug
I don't walk around wit guns
And I don't sell drugs
I'm not a murderer I ain't never said I was
So what the fuck y'all hating on me for, huh?
Listen to me
See I don't really hold no grudge (Ohhh)
So crucified Cadillac
My mama would be so disgusted (Ohhh)
If she knew the way these grown folks act
See I won't let them cramp my style, no
(Nooo)
And I won't let them hold me down, no (Nooo)
You tell her that I'm okay
You tell her that I'll make a way, somehow
"Eh yo Jin, you Double R, bust ya guns"
I ain't about that shit
Trouble just comes my way
I don't invite that shit i got a career here
I ain't looking for fights to pick
Got more pain in my heart
Than I knew could exist
Like that night they pulled them guns
Out and banged my man
I was like fuck rap I almost
Had a change of plans
(Word) He took a bullet for me
How I'm gon repay that man
What if he would've died? What I'm
Supposed to say to his fam?
The life I chose endangered all
My family and friends
Some shit I wish I could change
But can't promise I can
People are killed to get to
The position I'm at
Only to die here and find
Out it ain't worth that still want to rap?
That's how they getting down
Two turntables and a rapper that was that was
That was how they did it then
This how they do it now
Twenty young men wit they gats up
Got to travel like that or
They'll try to attack us
(That's how they getting down)
The greats settled they beef wit rap battles
Let's go that's how they did it then
This how they do it now
If they ain't better than you
Now they shooting at you
Know it sounds tragic, but hey you know
That's how they getting down
So what I'm supposed to do
Keep twenty bodyguards, and a large entourage
Cuz everybody's hard
Sometimes I wonder what happened
To love and respect
All I see now is hatred and death
(That's how they did it then
This how they do it now)
You tell her that I'm okay (uh)
You tell her that I'll make a way somehow
(Tell her I'll be okay)
You tell her that I'm okay (uh)
You tell her that I'll make a way somehow
(Talk to them Lyfe, yeah)
Tell her that I'm okay (Tell her)
And I made a way
(I'ma be okay, we all gon be okay)
Girl, on my own, my way, girl (uh)
Whole life for this
For this chance, for y'all to hear me
Some things I gotta get off my chest though
Just so y'all know uh, yeah
They say only the good die young
And wit that said
Ain't don't get no better than me
