When Ure Heart Turns Cold - Sonia Sanchez Lyrics - The Rose That Grew From Concrete - 2pac

When your heart turns cold 

It causes your soul to freeze 

Spreads through your spirit 

Like a ruthless, villain disease 

The walls that were once down 

Now stand firm and tall 

Safe from hate, love, pain, joy 

Till you feel nothing at all 

When your heart turns cold 

A baby's cry means nothing 

A dead corpse is trivial 

Mothers neglecting children is daily 

Lonliness becomes your routine friend 

Death seems like tranquility 

Sleeping is never pleasant if you even sleep at all 

We forgot our deals and turn off the reason 

Till the product is sold 

You don't understand how I behave 

Wait till your heart turns cold 

Know my cold heart turns warm at the front door 

Love my family, love my Outlawz 

But when I step outside I feel my blood freezing 

Question if it's a blessing that 'm still breathing 

Sometimes I wonder if I'm better off dead 

They say God don't make mistakes but what if he did 

But what if he didn't 

So I'm supposed to be living this life that I'm living 

And feeling how I'm feeling 

Black rain shower, the pain builds character 

My heart turned cold, yeah I learned to be a scavenger 

Listen, no love received and no love given 

Don't blame us blame the hate that you gave the children 

No remorse for life and y'all forced to fight 

In the event of my demise I hope God's the guiding light 

In hind's sight, I'm lost, misguided by lies and truths 

Confused bout what to do, refer to smoking, drinking brew 

We be the hearts of the heartless, riding few from the bunch 

Bosses have falled, bosses have caught you don't be the next one 

Sleeping never pleasant even if you sleeping at all 

The reason that I'm breathing is I'm an example for y'all 

When your heart turns cold 

It causes your soul to freeze 

Spreads through your spirit like a deadly disease 

When your heart turns cold 

You feel nothing at all 

A baby's cry means nothing at al 

When your heart turns cold 

A dead corpse is trivial 

And death seems like tranquility 

When your heart turns cold 

I thank God above 

Through the pain, hate, joy, and love 

When your heart turns cold 

Your soul is numb, your days are numbered (Cold) 

Your kids cold, get old and younger (Cold) 

Your lonliness becomes your only homie 

So your sorrow all alone is just for your eyes only (Yeah) 

The world against you and the odds are stacked (They stacked) 

Your pockets short and your girls a wreck (That bitch) 

Lose a piece of you survive all that 

Plus you young and you black, it's hard enough being that (Yeah) 

Your mom gone ain't nobody never cared (Yeah) 

You call your mom but nobody never there (Shit) 

Now it's on, you need a way up out of here 

You click on some be next shit 

When your heart turn cold that's when the heat go off 

And the means die slow, that's how the streets show off 

Cemetaries filled with vicitms those with cold hearts 

Deep in the dark when the pistols spark 

My life one big movie of strife 

Scene after scene filled with nothing but sad dreams 

No wonder my heart pumps ice water 

Gotta live according to the lessons that life taught you 

Lonley is the road of a tortured soul 

Who only knows the roles of a heart turned cold 

Caught in the middle when the pistols blow 

That's how it go when your heart turns cold
