A clean song about fathers cautioning their daughters about growing up too fast in this cruel world.
Cold World
Verse One
It’s time to break the cycle, start being a better father
Raise the boys into men and the girls to good Mamas
To my nieces and my daughters I'm sorry you got it harder
Beware if he say he love you, but physically hitting on you
It's scary that there's a world of Mystikals and R Kellys
You young and pretty, so I really need you to stay ready
For them fools that think it's cool to put they hands on you
As a daddy I see right through these little trash ass dudes
And them sex trafficking kidnappers snatching up a team
A pretty young things, forcing them to be less than a queen
I mean you growing up fast, but I need you to slow down
Cause the world is full of sin and you innocent right now
Chorus
Take your time young girl,
this world is so cold
Don't you rush to grow old,
this world is so cold
Head up high, eyes open wide,
this world is cold
Live your life, there’s a lot you need to know,
this world is so cold (2x)
Verse Two
In this world of temptation, it’s hard to know your worth
You’ve been anointed since birth
But I’m here to tell you first
So many women get consumed by their visions
They’re sacrificing their souls for attention
The road to hell is paved with intentions
Take your time, get a grip
I know boys want to talk, and they make comments on your hips
Mesmerized by your lips and older men are no better
They flash money in front you, that’s the dream that they selling
But you don’t know that’s a form of control
The game’s old
There’s countless stories that’s told
Give yourself a chance to grow
If it’s too good to be true, then it probably is
There’s no love better than self, take some time to just live.
Chorus
Take your time young girl,
this world is so cold
Don't you rush to grow old,
this world is so cold
Head up high, eyes open wide,
this world is cold
Live your life, there’s a lot you need to know,
this world is so cold (3x)
