[00:11.85]I ain't gone for, i'm just trying to Stay Warm in a world that's so cold,
[00:18.75]And no matter what you've been told I ain't gone for,
[00:24.03]That's why I won't grow old in a world that's so cold
[00:29.94]Remember mom always told us to cut the Rap shit
[00:31.56]And get a good education we could fall back with,
[00:32.70]She went keep it clean rap sheets sons,
[00:34.77]We went running down the tracks looking up to bits and macking em,
[00:36.72]We went the wrong way very dedicated,
[00:38.04]Our bets were made when we were fifteen,
[00:38.94]We were some hardcore motherf**king hip-hop rats,
[00:42.51]Ain't alot of rappers out there can get away with that,
[00:44.88]It's all chit for chat thought it was tip the tap,
[00:47.46]I hit a lot of people off they ain't hit me back,
[00:48.93]But now I'm back in the pit thought I'd hit you with a track that can show
[00:50.55]you how sappy rap can get.
[00:51.27]Dreams are swinging by the top of the trees,
[00:54.96]We walking in mud reaching up to the knees and peeps are talking they can
[00:57.72]talk all they want,
[00:58.56]We been walking a while now we can walk some more.
[01:00.27]And no matter what you've been told
[01:00.99]I ain't gone for, i'm just trying to Stay Warm in a world that's so cold,
[01:06.54]And no matter what you've been told I ain't gone for,
[01:10.68]That's why I won't grow old in a world that's so cold.
[01:11.94]You know we always moved up streams, storms blowing in my face,
[01:15.30]One of the last living survivors of a dying race,
[01:16.92]F**k rap nowadays it's a race for the paper chasing i'm like a wellfare case,
[01:19.02]But you know those for breath in space.
[01:20.01]Don't wanna leave this place but the dreaming days are over,
[01:21.45]The dreams change me and when you sower and the weather is colder,
[01:24.99]Mind stays young but the body grows older,
[01:27.33]And everybody's so young and their minds one colder,
[01:29.49]I ain't holding no grudges I show many a cold shoulder,
[01:32.97]I'm an old cold Hip-Hop soldier and i've earned my stripes,
[01:34.23]I pay produced and I can tell for shell toast,
[01:36.24]Placed outside the door breaking on the cell floor,
[01:39.09]I was painting on the trains like daily,
[01:40.83]Had a couple of girls fainting in 98 and made the underground hate me
[01:46.44]And see fifteen years of rap's really made me,
[01:47.52]Plus i've been breaking since i was a little baby so you can hate me.
[01:50.07]And no matter what you've been told
[01:51.87]I ain't gone for, i'm just trying to Stay Warm in a world that's so cold,
[02:16.35]And no matter what you've been told I ain't gone for,
[02:18.51]That's why I won't grow old in a world that's so cold.
[02:19.83]I wrote my first rhyme back in '89 in a different world,
[02:22.86]A distinct state of mind, years passed and they played my mind,
[02:24.99]And it feels a piece of it has stayed behind.
[02:26.40]Now peeps are acting like we ain't alive claiming we should quit the game
[02:27.93]maybe save some time,
[02:28.80]But I obey my craving seems I'm always back to play ain't no saying why,
[02:30.39]I ain't rhyme and a save the world I'll be the greatest MC and play a thug,
[02:33.99]I guess I'll stay in the mud, and you can stay and curse my way all the way
[02:39.39]to church,
[02:39.72]Been like this since i came to earth a thirsty little bastard i'm staying
[02:42.90]thirsty,
[02:43.23]I'll always step on stage no matter if we main act or we playing first.
[02:45.21]And no matter what you've been told
[02:47.07]I ain't gone for, i'm just trying to Stay Warm in a world that's so cold,
[02:56.16]And no matter what you've been told I ain't gone for,
[02:57.33]that's why i won't grow old in a world that's so cold.
[02:58.86]I ain't gone for.
