lyrics

How cold do you gotta be?
To let me sit here while you see me freeze
I been down and out and been on my knees
While you pass by like the windy breeze

Can you spare a dollar for a Brutha in need?
Give me the scraps from that bag to feed
I’ve never had enough to know the feel of greed
I only need a little bit, help me please?

How cold? How cold?
How cold do you gotta be?
I been waking up on the cold concrete
You step around me like you can’t see
How cold? How cold?
How cold do you gotta be?

And how cold do you gotta be?
I’m stuck in streets but you call the police
There Ain’t no place for me to be
Curfew’s at eight, it’s 7:30!

I know that you’re staring at me
I know that you’re swearing at me
I know that you’re guaranteed
To scroll right by like your Facebook feed!

How cold? How cold?
How cold do you gotta be?
I been waking up on the cold concrete
You step around me like you can’t see
How cold? How cold?
How cold do you gotta be?

And how cold do you gotta be?
I’m my momma’s baby boy and got family
If you took the time, you just might see
There ain’t no difference tween you and me

I need a warm place and to rest my feet
A place with 4 walls, a roof and heat
A sandwich, yeah, bread and meat
Any place outta these winter streets!
