Cold World (feat. Michael Minelli)

from What's A Man to Do? by Alcott

lyrics

Verse 1:
Yeah
Wake up with a buzz that’s leftover from last night
He hate to wake because he dream about his past life
Bottles on the floor his crib look like a crash site
Alarm clock screaming time to clock in and get his cash right
Cuz
Time is money and money is alcohol
He’s a decent lookin dude lookin bummy like
How could all
This happen to him? he used to be a student on the honor roll
he had a lotta goals but he let em loose a while ago
Now he got nothin ‘cept regret inside
He sure to die by 35 working a dead end job
And he knows it too
So the only thing he knows to do is
Pour one up
Pour one up
Pour one up for the people he pushed away cuz he was secretly hurting
Those if he had opened up to could’ve relieved him of burdens
Pour one up for opportunities missed
For anytime he picked to do something stupid instead of pursuing his wish
Yeah he refused to take risks cuz he was scared of failure
Now every day after work he go to the corner retailer
To cop A bottle of something cuz when drunken It make the world hurt less
When checking out this what the store clerk says

Hook (Michael Minelli):
I can tell that your not happy something don’t seem right I know
May not be my place to say this but you gotta let that baggage go
It’s a cold world out there


Verse 2:
Wake up to a buzz that’s from a phone on her bedside
First thing she does check social media websites
She think ahead always plotting to get the next like
And making sure that everybody know she live the best life
She good at it no one know that she faking
That dopamine be correlating with the notifications
But it’s mostly just making
Her lonely and vacant
This road that shes taken
Is only focusing on coping with pain with
A strangers attention
She’s hated herself since she was sixteen
that keeps her motivated tryna keep her profile pristine
And
She’ll take love any place she can get it
So she gon post A pic then post another pic
Post a pic for all the times she ain’t feel pretty enough
For every guy who said he love her just so she might feel comfortable about givin it up
Post for anyone who tell her that her looks is where her worth is
And that pleasing other people is her only real purpose
And it’s worthless counting followers if they don’t really know her
But she distracted by the praises they throw her
Need validation From the am to the pm
And she just got a message from some random in the DMs
It says


Hook

Outro:
What he gon do when all the bottles are empty
What he gon do when all the bottles are empty
What she gon do when all her followers missing
What she gon do when all her followers missing
It’s a cold cold world
