Drew Pacheco - Cold World (feat. Rachel Esparsen) Lyrics

Do you ever like, sit there and think like
What is life
I do, I'm not scared of nothing
I seen the devil in the basement
I freak myself out how beautiful my life is
I freak out how blessed I am
If you don't know where you are going
In this cold world, don't fear
Open your heart, your mind, keep growing
Deep within time, you'll heal
I'm all about my family now
Out the booth I rather chill at my grandmas house
Give 'em the truth and they ask what is that about
One phone call changed everything without a doubt
Homies doing lines in they bathroom
Coked out, they can't handle the bad news
Zoned out in the back of the Lac
Getting tattoos for their dad, man, what a bad dude
Somewhere lost, and others act brand new
They don't know what to do, I'm in the same shoes
Do I stay, do I go, I just can't choose
But I do what I can do man I can't loose
If I let the devil in, I'm a damn fool
Got a cross on my chest pointed at you
Had a soul bulletproof but it bled through
Try to aim a bullet through my heart, I won't let you
I'm tryna reach heaven, I can't get through
Must be the cell phone, I hear no dial tone
They say time heals all wounds
What do I do if my watch broke, I don't have a clue
Staring at the clock gets old
And talking to a wall gets me nowhere
I need my passion sold, need to hit platinum or gold
So I can go ghost man I don't belong here
Pacheco, you don't understand
You gotta keep it going bro and you know what
Thank God I met, that your dad was my homeboy
And introduced me to you
And the way you talk about being in the hood
You are in the hood, your whole life
Your grandpas still right there, huh
If you don't know where you are going
In this cold world, don't fear
Open your heart, your mind, keep growing
Deep within time, you'll heal
Think he's bad when he pulls out his gun
Look death in the eyes, and see it start to run
Got best friends writing best friends letters
From prison, wishing, for things to get better
But their best friends' killer only got a few years
He'll live better in a cell, than living out here
'Cause there's a gang, ready to retaliate
Better hide, set it straight, where's a better day
Waking up nervous about the court case
Thinking back, when times were more simple
When we didn't have to mourn, and grieve
Now we're locked in a cage and my mind feels crippled
Do the time, don't let it do you
Can't press rewind, but you can play it through
Never lie, it's not hard to stay true
Same motto 'til you die, with the same mood
My dawg said it best
I'm from a place where you don't know whose your real friends
They might be cool with you, might be your enemy
They're either talking to your enemies or talking to the feds
Now we have a fear of change
Can you blame us, for thinking whose next
I got a text from my boy around six a.m.
Said I can't handle another brother dead, and that's real
You know what, Pacheco, don't let nobody stop you dawg
'Cause people tell me, does he drink, does he do drugs
I say f*ck no, this motherf*ckers on his grind
I promise you, you're the key, for everybody
And you gotta cut off some people sometimes, you do
If you don't know where you are going
In this cold world, don't fear
Open your heart, your mind, keep growing
Deep within time, you'll heal
If you don't know where you are going
In this cold world, don't fear
Open your heart, your mind, keep growing
Deep within time, you'll heal
