|
| The summer felt like the winter, and I ain’t talkin' bout weather
|
| I see a «Cold World» like the GZA
|
| It’s a blizzard out here — you holdin', twist up
|
| But don’t sneak tobacco in my rizzla
|
| I’m from where they jack cats for their turkish links
|
| Swatch watches, Fila and (?)
|
| They took Jordan 1 and 2's right off your feet
|
| If you fought back and warranted you caught more beef
|
| The '80s was so crazy, cats are still afraid
|
| Of Daryl Gates, the chokehold, crack and gangs
|
| I hustled but I made it through a crack in the game
|
| While a lot of homies got trapped back in the day
|
| From where ugly polution brings a beautiful haze
|
| Sunset rays, orange-lavender fase
|
| Tryin' to keep my chips up and protect my plate
|
| But the police watch every breath I take
|
| Just tryin' to breathe
|
| It’s my world 'til it’s time to leave
|
| Just tryin' to breathe
|
| It’s my world 'til it’s time to leave

|
| Yeah, tryin' to live, tryin' to eat
|
| I stay up, sometimes it’s hard, try to sleep
|
| I’m a livewire in a cold world
|
| I’m no liar, just try to bend the truth to girls
|
| So far doin' my job, gettin' it done
|
| Up before the sun, try to come home before the sun
|
| Shit repeats, days turn to weeks
|
| The object, try to have doe to show for them beats
|
| I was told the world gets colder
|
| Colorado air is thin, sold-out in Boulder
|
| Much more in control gettin' older
|
| And much music love if you cross the border
|
| Once the coast is clear we smokefest in here
|
| Clouds so thick you can see the glare
|
| Peace to reef, we got blessed on the beat
|
| West to East, we share the same air, tryin' to breathe
|
| Just tryin' to breathe
|
| It’s my world 'til it’s time to leave
|
| Just tryin' to breathe
|
| It’s my world 'til it’s time to leave

|
| Prepare for the worst, expect the best
|
| Haven’t pulled the heat but still wear the vest
|
| Expansion Team’s like the firm 'til death
|
| They want last laugh, we want last breath
|
| We all Stereo, T-H-X
|
| On the radio, station gets respect
|
| It’s love and war, we accomodate those
|
| We could both breathe or step up, you’re next to go
|
| Some breath control, watch 'em get exposed at shows
|
| A lot of cats are born in studios, it shows
|
| I inhale and exhale magical flows
|
| Jump off stage, hit the booth to capture the globe
|
| Accurate, spectacular though
|
| I feel like the industry is tryin' to capture my soul
|
| I feel like Muhammad goin' at it with Joe
|
| For fresh air we bring it to you live on the road
|
| Just tryin' to breathe
|
| It’s my world 'til it’s time to leave
|
| Just tryin' to breathe
|
| It’s my world 'til it’s time to leave
