'Cause some things just don't change
It's better when they stay the same
Although the whole world knows your name
So on a biggest stage, they
Came to see you spit your game, ho-woah
But it shouldn't be difficult to explain
Just why you came back again
You hate the fame, love the game
Cold as ice, you remain
- 'Em all, tell 'em all, "Eat -"
Here we go again
Oh (dum, du-du-du-dum, dum-du-dum) (yeah, yup, yeah)
God damn (dum, du-du-du-dum, dum-du-du)
Is it that time again already? (Dum, du-du-du-dum, dum-du-dum)
Haha (okay, okay) (dum, du-du-du-dum, dum-du-du)
Y'all don't look too happy to see me (dum, du-du-du-dum, dum-du-dum)
-, Man (dum, du-du-du-dum, dum-du-du)
Don't everybody welcome me back at once (dum, du-du-du-dum, dum-du-dum)
Alright, - you all then (dum, du-du-du-dum, dum)
You can get the -, just call me the -, I'm nuts
Michael Vick in this -, dog fall back, you mutts
- Your worms, you've never seen such a sick puppy
- It, a sick duck, I want my duck sicked, mummy
And my - licked, gobble 'em up, trick, yummy
-, You don't - think, I know that you -, dummy?
You'll get your butt kicked, - all that love -, honey
Yeah, I laugh, when I call you a -, it's funny
Shorty, dance while I diss you to the beat, - the words
You don't listen to 'em anyway, yeah, struck a nerve, sucker
-, Might as well let my lips pucker
Like Elton John, 'cause I'm just a mean -
The - is on 'cause you went and - me off, now I'm - and - on
Everybody, give a - if it's right or wrong
So puff the -, light a -
But take a look at Mariah next time I inspire you to write a song
Come on
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
I'm as cold as the cold wind blows
When it snows and it's 20 below
Ask me why, man, I just don't know
Know-know-know, know-know, know
I'm as cold as the cold wind blows
Blo-blo-blows, blow-blow, blows, oh, oh-oh
- It, I'm a loose cannon
Bruce Banner's back in the booth
Y'all are sittin' ducks, I'm the only goose standin'
I'll set the world on fire, - on it, put it out
Stick my - in a circle, but I'm not - around
-, I'll show you - footin'
I'll kick a - in the -
'Til it makes a - and sounds like a - whoopee cushion
Who the - is you pushin'?
You must've mistook me for some sissy soft punk
Lookin' for some nookie or bosom
Go ahead, - hater, push me
I told you ain't no - way to shush me
Call me a - 'cause I hate a -
Man the - up, sissy, G's up
All you gardeners freeze up
Put your hoes down, "Shady, ease up!
Man, chill!" Nah, I can't, - it, rap is a landfill
Drop the anvil, these are shoes that you can't fill
-, The day that happens the world will stop spinnin'
And Michael J. Fox'll come to a standstill (woo!)
During an earthquake, urine in your face 'cause you're fake
Ow! What the -? That hurt, wait
Ow! What the -? I just got struck by lightnin'
Alright then, I quit, God, I give up
Call it evil that men do
Lord, forgive me, for what my pen do
"This is for your sins, I cleanse you
You can repent, but I warn you, if you continue
To Hell, I send you"
And just then the wind blew, and I said
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
I'm as cold as the cold wind blows
When it snows and it's 20 below
Ask me why, man, I just don't know
Know-know-know, know-know, know
I'm as cold as the cold wind blows
Blo-blo-blows, blow-blow, blows, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
How long will I be this way? Shady until my dyin' day
'Til I hang up the mic and it's time for me to say
"So long," 'til then I'll drop the - bombs
Like I missed the pass, when I went long
If you don't like it, you can kiss my - in a lint thong
Now sing along, "- This, - that," learn the words to the song
"Oh, - don't like that", homie, I'll be nicer to women
When Aquaman drowns, and the Human Torch starts swimmin'
Man, I'm a cold soul, I roll solo, so don't compare
Me to them other bums over there
It's like apples to oranges, peaches to plums, yeah
I'm bananas, -, cut off the grapes and grow a pair
But I swear, you try to diss me, I'll slaughter you
I put that on everything, like everyone does with Auto-Tune
The last thing you want to do
Is have me spit out a rhyme, and say, "I was writing this and I thought of you"
So
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
I'm as cold as the cold wind blows
When it snows and it's twenty below
Ask me why, man, I just don't know
Know-know-know, know-know, know
I'm as cold as the cold wind blows
Blo-blo-blows, blow-blow, blows, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
I don't know, I don't know what caused
I don't know what caused me to be this way
I don't know, I don't know
But I'll prob'ly be this way 'til my dyin' day
I don't know why I'm so, I'm so cold
Mean things I don't mean to say
I guess, this is how you made me
