So Cold by Ty Law Lyrics
[Verse 1:]
Waiting at a red light or two
I sight a dude on a bicycle and he's ridin' through
A neighborhood that might really frighten you
In the night, assuming
That you knew about all the shootings
That happen on occasion
People scrappin' on the pavement of the home invasions
Gray patches on his face and so I know he's aging
He's probably forty or so
Been through it so his stare is like forty below
Steady pedalin' to get to where he's wanting to go
Police stop him', probably think he's transporting the dro
His tank top lookin' blue and red caught in the glow
Of police lights
And it seems like
The officers don't
Got evidence but they disrespecting him
Aggressive when they pressing him
Against the car, checking him
For weapons
If they ever really find something, they would definitely be arresting him
But you can tell that they ain't find nothing, so they lettin' him
Get on his bike, stand it up again and keep it pedalin'
With no apology, they treating him like he's irrelevant
It's unsettlin'
I wonder why them guys so mean
But I just keep calm when the lights go green
[Chorus:]
One late night, driving home from the studio
See the pain as they roaming all through the road
Everybody so used to the usual
Got me wondering why they all do the most
Looking through my window and it's so cold
It's so cold
Driving through the street lights and it's so cold
It's so cold
[Verse 2:]
Almost home at the light sitting and waitin'
Gas station, to my right
No longer lit up, it's vacant
It's closed for the night
Outside I witness a pacing
Looking then she draped in a little miniature skirt
And a shirt and feeling enabled
I see a white truck slowly hittin' the brakes
And she approaching the vehicle [?]
Cause behind the tinted window could be a serial rapist
Or someone who could kill her and leave her still on the pavement
When she walking, she looking really unstable
Through the dark, I'm watching as he delivers the payment
She hops into the whip and the engine awakens
And then a couple of seconds, they could be up and away
But I could slam up on the gas, hit the acceleration
And crash into his whip, getting her into escapin'
Take her to a shelter, where she could live while she waitin'
To get a job and start a new beginning and make it
But I'm really in no position to save her
Probably would just make a more difficult situation
Frustrated, thinkin' what they psychos need
But I just keep calm when the lights go green
[Chorus:]
When it's late, driving home from the studio
See the pain as they roaming all through the road
Everybody so used to the usual
Got me wondering why they all do the most
Looking through my window and it's so cold
It's so cold
Driving through the street lights and it's so cold
It's so cold
Waiting at a red light or two
I sight a dude on a bicycle and he's ridin' through
A neighborhood that might really frighten you
In the night, assuming
That you knew about all the shootings
That happen on occasion
