Talib Kweli - Cold Rain lyrics

rate me

You trust on me?

It’s been a long time coming!

You trust I’m brand new?

Hey oh,…!

What you ever do, man?

Come on!

What are we doing it for?

…..

To the cold rain,

I’m standing right here,

To the old winter days,

Yeah I’m a product, who’s breaking up,

From the blocks…like J Electronics,

Could drop us, and make us lack, cause the crime…

…

Hope for the Apocalypse like a self-fulfilling prophet,

Tell me where to be stopped!

Do they ask you your religion before you rent an apartment?

Is the answer burning…

We can defend Islamic…

You take the way, the freedom that we brought in the game,

You disrespect the soldiers; you act like a dying pain,

In a desert praying for…

The music is like a drug, and you tend to take it in the vein,

It ain’t ….behaves.

….

So you sort of felt the pain.

The brain is like a cage with a slave in a sweaty…

This is the book that….

In the cold rain,

I’m still standing right here,

In the winter days,

In the cold rain,

I’m still standing right here,

In the winter days.

…

Do it for the families!

The citizens of humanity,

…and in danger species like…

Do it for the future of my children!

They’re hope is hopeless,…

We gonna….for a pack of vultures to enter the world,

Ain’t gonna let the cockroaches,

We’re freedom fighters,

We’re freedom writers like…

….for my block, my hood, my city and my stage, man!

My obligation is to serve my community,

So play it, we gonna save this opportunity so rare!

What we do is so big over here that is no pain

To the punks, the bitches, the sneak in the game,

We let them live with all their weak and their lame,

They make pauses and jokes when they’re speakin’ my name.

In the cold rain,

I’m still standing right here,

In the winter days,

In the cold rain,

I’m still standing right here,

In the winter days.
