Run The Jewels - walking in the snow lyrics
[Run The Jewels - walking in the snow lyrics]
Get a dose, a dirty code to go
Been cold since Co-Flow
Got a wire or two unlodgin'
I'll set a fire down below
I'll hang it up when you say, "Sorry
I didn't know"
Prolly got a year or ten to go, so let's go
I don't really know how to go slow
Just got done walkin' in the snow
Goddamn, that motherfucker's cold (Ayy)
You in the wrong mode, you
Open and closin' your hole, it's a no go
This whole world's a shit moat
Filled to the brim like Gitmo
When you think it don't get mo' low
It limbo 'til the sticks on flo'
All oppression's born of lies, I
Don't make the rules, i’m just one guy
All due respect, if getting spit on's how
Respect is now defined
Hungry for truth but you got
Screwed and drank the Kool-Aid
There's a line
It end directly at the edge of a mass grave
That's their design funny fact about a cage
They're never built for just one group
So when that cage is done with
Them and you still poor, it come for you
The newest lowest on the
Totem, well golly gee, you have been used
You helped to fuel the death machine that
Down the line will kill you too (Oops)
Pseudo-Christians, y'all indifferent
Kids in prisons ain't a sin? Shit
If even one scrap of
What Jesus taught connected
You'd feel different
What a disingenuous way to
Piss away existence, i don't get it
I'd say you lost your goddamn minds if
Y'all possessed one to begin with
Just got done walkin' in the snow
Goddamn, that motherfucker cold
Just got done walkin' in the snow
Goddamn, that motherfucker cold
Just got done walkin' in the snow
Goddamn, that motherfucker cold
Just got done walkin' in the snow
Goddamn, that motherfucker cold (Cold, cold)
Yeah, ho, Gangsta Boo, Run the Jewels
We back on our shit, and it's cold as fuck
The way I see it
You're probably freest from the
Ages one to four
Around the age of five you're shipped away
For your body to be stored
They promise education
But really they give you tests and scores
And they predictin' prison population by
Who scoring the lowest
And usually the lowest scores the poorest
And they look like me
And every day on the evening news
They feed you fear for free and you so numb
You watch the cops choke out a man like me
Until my voice goes from a shriek to whisper
"I can't breathe"
And you sit there in the house on
Couch and watch it on TV
The most you give's a Twitter rant
And call it a tragedy
But truly the travesty
You've been robbed of your empathy
Replaced it with apathy
I wish I could magically
Fast forward the future so then
You can face it
And see how fucked up it'll be
I promise I'm honest
They coming for you the day
After they comin' for me
I'm readin' Chomsky, I read Bukowski
I'm layin' low for a week
I said somethin' on behalf of my people
And I popped up in Wikileaks
Thank God that I'm covered
The devil come smothered
And you know the evil don't sleep
Dick Gregory told me a couple of secrets
Before he laid down in his grave
All of us serve the same masters
All of us nothin' but slaves
Never forget in the story of Jesus
The hero was killed by the state
Just got done walkin' in the snow
Goddamn, that motherfucker cold
Just got done walkin' in the snow
Goddamn, that motherfucker cold
Just got done walkin' in the snow
Goddamn, that motherfucker cold
Just got done walkin' in the snow
Goddamn, that motherfucker cold (Cold, cold)
Who really wanna run it
With the Jewel Runners?
Go hellfire hot in a new sauna
It's a cold winter, baby, and a cruel summer
I suicide bomb in the blue Hummer
And emerge out the side, not a bruise on 'em
Bad news come in twos, son, do somethin'
Treat beats like a wet thigh, chew on 'em
Got a stroke row crew on 'em, move on 'em
We be the heroes, the breakers of chains
And the busters of locks (Locks, locks)
You be them suckers supportin' them snitches
That talk to the cops
This the Illmatic of turning your
Face into fucker foie gras
I'm not so sure opportunity's knocking
It's probably the law
Word to the old school tape decks
I get Radio Raheem respect
My Nike pendant sacred
Similar to the Ghostface bracelet
Fire in the hole, oh, no joke
Prolly go broke just off smoke
Fuck are we gonna do, not smoke?
Get a job, play the role, be adults?
Nah, I'ma do me, arigato
First of all, they cheated (Haha)
'Cause they one of 'em black
And the other one white (Uh, huh)
So if you don't like 'em
You automatically racist (Ah, oh, well)
Been cold since Co-Flow
