Cold World

The world is cold The unknown cuss at the unknown While heads get blown Summoning all my people, we discuss the harms created by Obama's throne The change still isn't shown I'm torn between college Going to an expensive school or getting free knowledge For change I still wait, while I waste the change in my pocket to be left with zero by the end of the day My future slowly fades away And my hope tags along Because as a minority, in success, I don't belong The world is cold Being surrounded by people who would do anything to see a good fight But do nothing to fight with you The ignorance increases while the knowledge decreases The arrogance rises while the confidence worsens New York City made the person who I am but also made the person who I'm not 'Cause even after the civil rights movement, while we are being discriminated against, we are also discriminating Injustice expands as well as hypocrisy 'Cause society waits around for solutions from the "majority" The world is cold While our children are cussing Parents are fussing for nothing 'Cause their main priority should be their offspring But instead, kids don't get attention at home So they look for it in the streets The streets offer violence for protection The streets offer drugs for pleasure The streets offer gangs as family And the kids find school challenging So they walk out, back into the streets, where their intelligence be Our futures are put on hold 'Cause of the lies that we're told There's no hope The world is cold
