Spending hours at home, the red scare made us panic Parents signing the papers, think it’s over and finished Next moment hear my father say, she moving in with him Momma why would you do it? She couldn’t give us a reason Years of manipulation, guess she wanted the feeling At the same time the country going up like the ceiling We got another black man on the streets and he bleeding Riots heard round the world, screaming BLM Race war in the country, fearing costs of my skin I skim the book and the pages that we writing in history Take a van to find out why human rights is a mystery So cold, so cold, in the world out on our old Feeling so cold, so cold, so co-co-co-co-co-co-cold So cold, so cold, in the world out on our old Feeling so cold, so cold, so co-co-co-co-co-co-cold (Ice) So co-co-co-co-co-co-cold So cold, so cold, in the world out on our old Feeling so cold, so cold, so co-co-co-co-co-co-cold So cold, so cold, in the world out on our old Feeling so cold, so cold, so co-co-co-co-co-co-cold
