Quinston Pugh - Cold Lyrics

Spent years being superficial, years just to see the truth
Perception was artificial, so cold like a caribou
Exploded just like a missile, put blame to my point of view
And I had my share of tissues, start feeling like Déjà vu
Learned loyalty, a game played that never seemed to mean a thing
No royalty, we struggled with the bills, never saw the bling
Our deity, important that our God we kept on worshiping
Anxiety was strung up in our hearts, we felt the burning sting
My father taught me strength, when to show it, not abuse it
Know my power comes from God, imma use it that’s the Blueprint
Still in pain, cause I have seen it lose control
Locomotive on the run, and now it’s speeding towards the road
My heart ache, every time my brain thinks
Keep my feelings cordial like I’m giving them a handshake
Pop up wit a briefcase, lock em in that safe safe
They not meant for social guess that I’m calling them MySpace.
Everybody got scars, mine are mighty like Simba
I’m a lion but I hear em laughing at me, hyenas
Cause back at Pride Rock, it seems we got a baffling enigma
Keep it hush hush, sadness just collateral symptoms
So cold, so cold, in the world out on our old
Feeling so cold, so cold, so co-co-co-co-co-co-cold
So cold, so cold, in the world out on our old
Feeling so cold, so cold, so co-co-co-co-co-co-cold
Started off the year hopeful like a star in the sky
Amid the drama in the world, we made the most of our nights
We saw impeachment’s, and agreements, made the world want to fight
And said goodbye to living legends, sung a sad lullaby
Bombs bursting through the wind, world war looming eminent
Saw the bush on fire, word to Moses antecedent
Then my sister got married seemed we all got a blessing
Until we all got the news that turned out very distressing
I, felt alone in a global pandemic. Spending hours at home, the red scare made us panic
Parents signing the papers, think it’s over and finished
Next moment hear my father say, she moving in with him
Momma why would you do it? She couldn’t give us a reason
Years of manipulation, guess she wanted the feeling
At the same time the country going up like the ceiling
We got another black man on the streets and he bleeding
Riots heard round the world, screaming BLM
Race war in the country, fearing costs of my skin
I skim the book and the pages that we writing in history
Take a van to find out why human rights is a mystery
So cold, so cold, in the world out on our old
Feeling so cold, so cold, so co-co-co-co-co-co-cold
So cold, so cold, in the world out on our old
Feeling so cold, so cold, so co-co-co-co-co-co-cold (Ice)
So co-co-co-co-co-co-cold
So cold, so cold, in the world out on our old
Feeling so cold, so cold, so co-co-co-co-co-co-cold
So cold, so cold, in the world out on our old
Feeling so cold, so cold, so co-co-co-co-co-co-cold

Spent years being superficial, years just to see the truth
Perception was artificial, so cold like a caribou
Exploded just like a missile, put blame to my point of view
And I had my share of tissues, start feeling like Déjà vu
Learned loyalty, a game played that never seemed to mean a thing
No royalty, we struggled with the bills, never saw the bling
Our deity, important that our God we kept on worshiping
