Temptations

It's a cold world, getting hot like hell's fire
It's a crazy world, you will have so much desire
Temptations they be calling me, I don't answer
Temptations kill me slowly

What I need to do, take it one day at a time
And realize that the struggle's in my mind
So I'm telling you, stay focused and just grind
Temptations they will only make you blind

Only make you blind
It's not about the physical, please don't trust individuals
She could look good but very cynical, suck you dry with her tentacles
And leave you pitiful broke, feeling depressed no hope

Your homeboys think you're a joke, I call that murder she wrote
Now it's a cycle you're trapped in, big roller coaster strapped in
Know I'm not overreacting, don't loose grip need traction
Keep it 100, no fraction, don't take nothing on the back end

Know you can't break and you can't bend, like vinegar or oil it won't blend
Sin, it's crazy in this dark land
Honestly, I can't put trust in no man
If I do then I'm lost, temptations they would get me double crossed get me double crossed

It's a cold world, getting hot like hell's fire
It's a crazy world, you would have so much desire
Temptations they be calling me, I don't answer
Temptations kill me slowly

And what I need to do, take it one day at a time
And realize that the struggle's in my mind
So I'm telling you, stay focused and just grind
Temptations they will only make you blind

Only make you blind
You wanna steal, wanna lie, wanna cheat
Over eat, gluttony, jealousy, envy, strip me
Of my emotions, life gets deep like an ocean

No I can't drown, I'm floating, cruise control, I'm coasting
Hoping, never, one day it will get better
This world so cold, need a sweater, people kill for the cheese and the cheddar
Maniac for the mozzarella, bullets rain down need an umbrella

Ella, Ella, ay, ay, don't play
Cause it's real, on the battlefield, no chill
No remorse like a bug on a windshield
Everybody wanna be the king of the hill

Most people in the world never keep it real
All the doctors in the world, still we ain't healed
Street so sick, like a dirty landfill
Get the 19 vaccine, still ill

Somebody ring the alarm and it's not a drill
It's a cold world, getting hot like hell's fire
It's a crazy world, you would have so much desire
Temptations they be calling me, I don't answer

Temptations kill me slowly
And what I need to do, take it one day at a time
And realize that the struggle's in my mind
So I'm telling you, stay focused and just grind

Temptations they will only make you blind
Only make you blind
