Cold Outside Lyrics

    [Ludacris]

    [Chorus]

    It ain't no one to trust but me
    And I got to make sure that I take care of my family
    And it ain't no choices 'cause it's cold outside (It's cold outside)

    And to my niggas on the block
    On the grind and hustlin' tryin' to sell some rocks
    You hear the voices say it's cold outside (It's cold outside)

    I'm hiding out and smokin' herb
    because my boss is getting on my motherfucking nerves
    But I got to take it 'cause it's cold outside (It's cold outside)

    See rappin' is my only way
    My mama told me just to save it for another day
    But I got to make it cause it's cold outside (It's cold outside)

    [Verse 1]
    Man, I can hear that wind blowing
    You say it don't get cold in CP
    Well niggas it's been snowing
    Even though some might disagree
    When business is still slowing
    Even if we subject to change
    Come up out them diamonds and rings
    Even all them dollars and change
    Nigga we home-grown
    And to those that couldn't take the pressure
    Nigga they long gone
    Skeet 25 lighters on dressers
    Or you'll get zoned on
    They be puttin' them bodies in bags
    They be cuttin' them bodies on slabs
    Then go to somebody and brag
    Got to keep a straight face
    Better keep inside with your know
    Got to find a safe place
    Better stay in silence or go
    Or end up a waste case
    Pick figure it's more stuff to do
    Pick nigger it's more folks than you
    Pick never come close to a clue
    I put my life on it
    Want to disrespect give me your neck
    And I'll put a knife on it
    Some say it's slippery when wet
    But my Roll got ice on it
    It's all about supply and demand
    It's all about me buying some land
    You folks just don't understand
    That uh

    [Chorus]

    [Verse 2]
    Man, I see the clouds coming
    Y'all see a man on the moon walking
    I see a crowd running
    and the APD steadily talking
    'Cause we done found something
    And it's not as good as it seems
    Oh I wish I could get some cream
    And get up out of the hood with some dreams
    I'm peepin' hard crimes
    See the system's fucked up
    And they givin' out some hard times
    Heard one of these ???
    And my people snortin' hard lines
    Locked up and they didn't do a thang
    Locked up because of the pressure and pain
    Locked up because they wouldn't do the same
    And I see the case close
    I can't ask no questions, and it's over
    'Cause they say so
    I ain't learned no lessons, but these snitches
    Better lay low
    Or we gonna be chopping some heads
    And we gonna be rocking some beds
    And we gonna be dropping some eggs
    We walk a long road
    Trying to find the essence of self
    But I picked the wrong clothes
    'Do rag with a gat under my belt
    'Cause life's throwing strong blows
    But I keep a little hope and some dreams
    And I try to stay focused and clean
    But I got a little dope and some green
    'Cause uh

    [Chorus]

    [Verse 3]
    I can see them shamed faces
    Man, y'all look at me like y'all grew up
    In the same places
    Scams and dirty work came up on
    A day to day basis
    Now they got to re-up and re-bag
    And they got to re-up and re-slab
    Then they got to be up and be bad
    This game'll NEVER end
    Excuse my French, but Goddammit
    I got some clever friends
    They might get set back by some wench
    But that bitch'll never win
    It's all about the way of the world
    It's all about the way of them girls
    It's all about them diamonds and pearls
    We waiting too long
    But the DEC and Southwest Atlanta
    Is too strong
    We might bring that soap out and wash up
    And throw them suits on
    Coming in the court with some pride
    'Cause we ain't got nothing to hide
    Just didn't know what laws to abide
    I play the cards dealt
    And I bought a full house and I watched
    The woman's heart melt
    See my mama's cooled out and she's crying
    'Cause it's heart-felt
    It's all about supply and demand
    It's all about me buying some land
    You folks just don't understand
    That uh

    [Chorus to fade]
