Cold Blood (feat. J. Cole & Canei Finch)

Started from the ground Building to the sky now Watch it fall down How you gon' survive now? Yeah, it's cold blood in a nigga The streets left no love in a nigga If I could paint a picture I would show the image of a dog ass nigga Yeah, raw ass nigga Popping pain killers Ridin' for the cause For dogs with them pistols, natural born killas He sold crack to his mother Turned his back on his brothers Killed his partner for the plug he think errthing a hustle Cold mothafucka, holmes numb, black heart, no feelings, just a gun He was raised in the trenches Not to mention all the hoes that had dissed him, So Holmes think the whole world against him Played Ball, coach benched him Grandpa Klan lynched him He was raised in Mississippi but he moved up to Memphis Kinda hard to adapt So holmes turned to a strap Didn't succeed, tried rap, couldn't fight, got slapped Shot dice, do crap, did time, back out, damn And from the ground He Building to the sky now Watch it fall down How you gon' survive now? Yeah, it's cold blood in a nigga The streets left no love in a nigga Started from the ground Built it to the sky now Watch it fall down How u gon' survive now!? It's cold blood in a nigga The streets left no love in a nigga Yo gotti lemme paint a picture for these niggas Here's a voice for the voiceless My words like multiple choice to the choiceless Emerge like a search light in the darkness For this young, black carcass My niggas either join the Armed Forces, or they corpses now In God we trust But it's bucks that we worship, now Boy that root of evil gon' forever rule the people See, I seen just what that fast money gon' come and do to people Hit a lick, it was a hit He said, "Let's go and do the sequel" But his, nigga wasn't 'bout it, nigga wasn't 'bout it, now Feeling guilty, "What would Momma think about me?" Told' em, think about it nigga, won't you think about it now? But he was money hungry Plus he trigger happy So they hopped up in the Caddy Burnt his pack, just like a Stevian Thirty minutes later, blood is leaking at the ATM Momma in denial, like her baby boy on trial For a murder that he ain't commit Tears soak the handkerchief And from the ground Building to the sky now Watch it fall down How you gon' survive now? Yeah, it's cold blood in a nigga The streets left no love in a nigga Started from the ground Built it to the sky now Watch it fall down How u gon' survive now!? It's cold blood in a nigga The streets left no love in a nigga Lights off, no candles, roaches all around the kitchen Nigga hungry, mom embarrassed, so she don't want us to mention it Grandma wanna help but mama ego kickin' in She a hustla, she don't need no help raisin' her kids Bills came, got evicted, stayed strong, square business She ain't Neva shown weakness, real shit That created the hunger, and that made the monster Got the game from our momma That's some ill shit! Thirteen on the block he was a lookout In the kitchen on the stove like its a cookout Young nigga doctored the game could put a book out Right when he thought it was over he got took out BANG Brains leaking, nigga sneaked him, he ain't even see it comin He a hitta, he wasn't focus so he died over nothin No revenge, wit his friends shootin' dice Bet again, win or lose, take it all, took out by his own men Started from the ground Built it to the sky now Watch it fall down How u gon' survive now!? It's cold blood in a nigga The streets left no love in a nigga Started from the ground Built it to the sky now Watch it fall down How u gon' survive now!? It's cold blood in a nigga The streets left no love in a nigga They say the good die young, that's the truth My nigga floating up in heaven now, that's the proof I ain't make it to the funeral, but homie rest in peace If this world get too cold, I hope one day you rescue me Nigga maybe we can fly someday Oh we can fly someday Yeah up in the sky someday Do real niggas get to heaven? That's that shit I ask the reverend
