Cold Lyrics


[Intro]:
"Turn the vocal up..."
DJ Khaled : "Kanye West!"
"Swag King Cole!"
DJ Khaled: "DJ Khaled!"
[Hook]:
Can't a young nigga get money anymore?
Tell PETA my mink is draggin on the floor.
Can I have a bad bitch witout no flaws
come to meet me witout no draws?
Dinner wit Anna Wintour,
racing wit Anja Rubik.
I told you muh'fuckers it was more than the music.
In the projects one day to Project Runway.
We done heard all that loud ass talkin, we used to it.
I'm from where shorties fucked up, double cupped up,
might even kill somebody and Youtube it.
Whoever think they words effect me is too stupid.

And if you could do it better than me, then you do it!
We flyer than a parakeet,
floatin wit no parachutes,
six thousand dollar pair of shoes
we made it to the Paris news!
Don't talk about style cuz I'll embarass you.
Shut the fuck up when you talk to me 'fore I embarass you!
[Hook]:
Can't a young nigga get money anymore?
Tell PETA my mink is draggin on the floor.
Can I have a bad bitch witout no flaws
come to meet me witout no draws?
And the whole industry wanna fuck your old chick,
only nigga I got respect for is Wiz.
And I'll admit, I had fell in love wit Kim
around the same time she had fell in love wit him.
Well that's cool baby girl do your thing.
Lucky I ain't have Jay drop him from the team!
La familia!
Roc Nation!
We in the building, but still keep it basement!
Flyer than a parakeet,
floatin wit no parachute,
six thousand dollar pair of shoes
I made it to the Paris news!
Don't talk about style cuz I'll embarass you.
Shut the fuck up when you talk to me 'fore I embarass you!
G.O.O.D. Music! We fresh, we fresh.
Anything else we detest, detest.
Bitch ass niggas got ass and breasts.
All that said let me ask this question.
[Hook]:
Can't a young nigga get money anymore?
Tell PETA my mink is draggin on the floor.
Can I have a bad bitch witout no flaws
come to meet me witout...
Don't talk to me 'bout style nigga!
I'll muh'fuckin embarrass you!
Talkin 'bout clothes?
I'll muh'fuckin embarrass you!
Hollerin 'bout some hoes?
I'll muh'fuckin embarrass you!
Way too cold! I promise you'll need some Theraflu!
Ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh!
Get the Theraflu!
Ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh ugh ugh!
Get the Theraflu
Ugh, ugh ugh, ugh ugh, ugh, ugh ugh, ugh ugh, ugh, ugh ugh, ugh ugh ugh
Get the Theraflu!

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Kanye Omari West (born June 8, 1977 in Atlanta, Georgia) is a Grammy award winning rapper, producer, author, designer and singer.

He began making beats and rapping in the early 90s in Chicago, IL, United States when he formed the rap group Go Getters with Chicago natives GLC and Really Doe. He later gained nationwide popularity in New York when he began producing tracks for artists such as Jay-Z, Twista, Mase, Talib Kweli and Alicia Keys.

In 2004 (after being pushed aside by many record companies who felt he wasn't a marketable hip hop artist), he managed to release his debut solo album, The College Dropout on Roc-a-Fella Records. The album received critical acclaim, defining the style for which West would become known: "wordplay" and heavy sampling of 70s soul and rnb tracks. He is also known for his politically-charged rhymes and controversial behavior both inside and outside the realms of music.

He has since released four more albums, all of which have received numerous awards, high commercial success and critical acclaim. Late Registration (2005); Graduation (2007); 808s & Heartbreak (2008); and his current album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (2010).

Personal life:
West was born in Atlanta, Georgia. When he was three years old (as mentioned in Hey Mama) his parents divorced, and he moved with his mother to Chicago, Illinois. His father, Ray West, was a former Black Panther; one of the first black photojournalists at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution; and is now a Christian counselor. Kanye’s late mother, Dr. Donda West, worked as a Professor of English at Clark Atlanta University, and the Chair of the English Department at Chicago State University before retiring to serve as Kanye’s manager. He was later raised in an upper middle class background, attending Polaris High School in suburban Oak Lawn, Illinois after living in Chicago.

After attending The American Academy of Art, a Chicago art school, West attended Chicago State University but eventually dropped out due to poor grades and in order to continue working on his music career. While attending school, West produced for local artists, including on rapper Grav’s debut album ‘Down to Earth’. He later gained fame by producing hit singles for major hip hop/R&B artists, including Jay-Z, Talib Kweli, Cam’ron, Paul Wall, Common, Mobb Deep, Jermaine Dupri, Scarface, The Game, Alicia Keys, Janet Jackson and John Legend among others. He also “ghost-produced” for his once mentor Deric Angelettie according to his song “Last Call” and the credits of Nas’ “Poppa Was a Playa.”

West’s style of production often utilizes pitched-up vocal samples, usually from soul songs, with his own drums and instruments. The first major label song he produced was "The Truth" by Beanie Sigel, and his first major release featuring his trademark vocal sampling style was “This Can’t Be Life,” a track from Jay-Z’s The Dynasty: Roc La Familia. West said he sped up the drum beat of Dr. Dre’s “Xxplosive” to use as a replacement for his drums on “This Can’t Be Life.”

West has said that Wu-Tang Clan producer RZA influenced him in his style, and has said on numerous occasions that Wu-Tang rappers Ghostface Killah and Ol’ Dirty Bastard were some of his all-time favorites. Said by Kanye West: “Wu-Tang? Me and my friends talk about this all the time… We think Wu-Tang had one of the biggest impacts as far as a movement. From slang to style of dress, skits, the samples. Similar to the [production] style I use, RZA has been doing that.”

Kanye West recently won 4 Grammy Awards for his album Graduation. He performed his hit song “Stronger” at the 2008 Grammys and a new lyrical version of “Hey Mama” as a tribute to his mother’s death in 2007.

On November 22, 2010, Kanye West released his fifth album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. His five albums, all of which have gone platinum, have received numerous awards, including a cumulative fourteen Grammys, and critical acclaim. All have been very commercially successful, with My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy becoming his fourth consecutive #1 album in the U.S. upon release. On 17 December 2010, Kanye West was voted as the MTV Man of the Year by MTV.
