And even though the price for the house was so much (uh)
I still roll wit dem from the hood like "what up?" (uh)
Cuz when it comes to bein' the realest I'm showin' up (yeah)
I'm a straight up industry villain fo' showin' up (c'mon)
And I can't satisfy some of y'all no matter what (whoo, whoo)
And some of y'all cats (whoo) are so jealous (uh)
And we livin' in a cold, cold world (uh huh)
Where there ain't nuthin' but fake faces, fake people, fake friends (yup)
And I'm livin' in a cold, cold world
Where there ain't nuthin' but envy, wanna be's all of these player haters (I hear)
Yeah I know I need a hug but y'all need a hug too (that's right) (uh)
Cuz God 'on judge me the same day he judge you (for real)
And even though we have our struggles that's alright
You know we ghetto folks is gon' find a way to shine (uh)

Sometimes this world can be so cold
When you're lookin' through the windows of the soul
I've been lookin' to see the truth as it unfolds
Cuz I've been around this globe and back enough to know (ohh)
The fact; who loves me, and who loves me not (whoo, whoo, whoo)
When this shit's so hot you can put it in red tops (uhh)
And pump it through every hood, (yeah) ghetto and block
Until they heart stops, that's why they feen for me (feen for me)
And I'm thankful for every blessin' that you've givin' me Lord (thank yuh)
And I pray-full for all the talents and my vocal a-chords (uhh)

I had to get rid of a lot of fake homies I'd known for years (yeah)
You see me on the TV sometimes, (uh) not how it is (yeah)
Y'all gotta start learnin' how to separate me from show-biz (uh)
When I'm rollin' through your city, (c'mon) show me love
And ladies when you see your boy, gimme hug
And no, I'm not conceded, right
It's just my space, sometimes I need it, right
Said I got so many friends in them area codes
Said I, hand out them tickets when it comes to my shows
Ja let's break bread together, (uh) pray together
That we grow strong together (uh)
Let's live forever, (yeah) help each other through the stormy weather (uh)
Let's hurt together, (yeah) let's cry together
And even if we hope together (uh, uh, uh)
Then together we'll make it better (yeah, c'mon)
