Artist: Greenhouse Effect Album: Electric Purgatory Part One Song: Cold Out Here Typed by: timm2014@hotmail.com [Intro] [Illogic speaking] Mean bars it's mean things. It's real focused and mean You know, it's how you just gotta go, just go all the way in You know. Uh huh. Yeah [Verse One] [Blueprint] What the fuck I'm holding back for it's time to bring it? Waitin' on a record deal is like waitin' for FEMA After what I been through, man, they can keep it I'd rather stay up in my basement makin' heaters I used to battle rap, face to face with a rapper You on Youtube, talkin' tough to a camera Everybody got goons and they clappin' hammers You diss him, he diss you but don't nothin' happen Last week you was in the hood duckin' cops This week you wrote about it all in your blog You don't wanna do music man, you wanna talk Proppin' up an album that we all know ain't gonna drop Shit sound like the dead of winter when it's cold When you look out doors and all you see is snow You can't escape it or feel it all up in your bones Nowhere else to go, so I'ma put it in my songs While other cats is out playin' on vacation I'm stuck in Bust Town playin' on my Playstation Mad at this damn game cause I can't exchange it And my state lost the most jobs in the nation It's much bigger than a couple rappers makin' paper Or even independent hip hop versus major Y'all ain't sayin' things the common man can relate to But instead of listenin' you'd rather cause tales I'm out [Chorus] [Illogic] [x2] Cold out here, man it's cold It's cold out here, man it's cold It's cold out here, man it's cold It's cold out here, man it's cold It's cold Cold [Verse Two] [Illogic] You think tomorrow is a promised but it's only a request So why you payin' homage, be sure to watch your step The people you acknowledge and those you haven't met Are on the lookout Hopin' that you fall to your death Didn't want to see me make moves because they're stagnant I'm droppin' off my luggage while they're gatherin' more baggage Their progress is sluggish, I maneuver fantastic The gridlock, I rise above it, they're fighting the traffic They only see the dunk, they don't see the assist They say all I have is luck, but I worked hard for this It's hard to stay grounded cause I'm not scared of flyin' The only thing that causes me fear is not tryin' They criticize the steps I make but they don't bother I stepped out on faith and now I'm walkin' on the water My wife is proud to follow me, I'm happy as I wanna be You thought you caught up with me but now I'm where you wanna be A message to my legacy Be the silver lining Even if you fall on your face, just keep grindin' They need to re-channel all the energy they hate with The world is on my shoulders but I told you that I'm Weightless [Chorus] [Illogic] [x2] Cold out here, man it's cold It's cold out here, man it's cold It's cold out here, man it's cold It's cold out here, man it's cold It's cold Cold [Verse Three] [The Catalyst] I spent most of my nights gettin' drunk up at some night club Can't even get up into V.I.P. from my buzz I got a cloud over me that's too dark to see tomorrow Like it inserted the darkness where the sunlight was With the hope that one day I get my shit in the stores I'm trying to blow up B.I.G. and +Kick In The Door+ But when I think I got control it's like Bo verse ten of me Ed Norton in Fight Club, my own worst enemy But, the Tyler Durden inside my persons Is harder to break than the modern version of the Iron Curtain To plead the code I keep the throne like a fire burnin' Sippin' Remy with an Ice Cube in it for Higher Learnin' See ya boy is so nice even when bitin' verses I add to it with some new shit that'll improve it Blastin' my music sippin' bourbon and Hennessy Well, swervin' the SUV while I'm turnin' on Refugee Feelin' like Moses I find myself lookin' at a bush on fire when I be burnin' an effigy Go figure, it's either me and this Con liquor Or Lady Liberty is the epitome of gold digger A cold winter, makin' my bones shiver But it's cool, cause dudes can't follow my steps if the snow thicker Luckily for you we heatin' the globe quicker So get yours while you can before it explode nigga [Chorus] [Illogic] [x2] Cold out here, man it's cold It's cold out here, man it's cold It's cold out here, man it's cold It's cold out here, man it's cold It's cold Cold
