#Loudandclear
Yeah, voice of Voice homeboy. Yeah, For all of y'all with ears to hear.

Kimmy twenty years old, she was on her way
Daddy he a preaching man, taught her walk this way
Only problem was he never took his own advice
More concerned with his image than his kids and his wife
Which made Kimmy hungry started dating someone older
But when she had sex, he gave her the cold shoulder
Yeah homeboy see the story gets colder
Daddy was stealing church money and driving a Range Rover
So Kimmy got bitter started doubting her faith
When she found out she was pregnant, man she didn't hesitate
Took a trip to the clinic, 'bout to get an abortion
Her man found out, tried to stop her, she ignored him
Kimmy made up her mind, she was intent to get it
Though she knew she was wrong, man she wouldn't admit it
She felt trapped by a circumstance, couldn't tell a soul
Coulda been a brighter life, until her heart turned cold

Its a cold cold world, don't believe their lies
They call evil good, as the innocent die
But you won't know, if your eyes can't see
If your ears can't hear, if your heart won't bleed

Nancy is sixty years old, she a doctor by trade
Got an education during _____________
Started up a practice in the 1980s
For over twenty years, she been aborting girls' babies
But now all of a sudden she catching feelings
Reoccurring dreams hearing screams of young children
She keep telling herself she gotta quit
Just a couple more months of work and that's it
But now homeboy see the story gets colder
She just bought a brand new crib in south Florida
Can't afford to stop working, it's eww
That blood money dirty, but it pay them bills
Now it's back to the clinic, seven days a week
Yeah, that's where Kimmy and Nancy first meet
Both trapped by a circumstance, couldn't tell a soul
Coulda been a brighter life, until her heart turned cold

Its a cold cold world, don't believe their lies
They call evil good, as the innocent die
But you won't know, if your eyes can't see
If your ears can't hear, if your heart won't bleed

The baby's zero years old, she was on her way
Coulda impacted culture, done something great
But Momma made up her mind, man it's far too late
Now she's laying on the table, it's not up for debate
With Kimmy hooked to the sonogram, Nancy could see
That the baby was a girl, had steady heartbeat
She was sick of ripping babies straight outta they womb
Sucking the life out of girls with uterine vacuums
She was back on the jail getting it in
Bout to finish up the job when her son barged in
And screamed "Ma please you gotta stop I'm the father!"
Imagine having to abort your own granddaughter
Just about then security came through
Snatched him up by the shirt and tossed him outside the room
The child trapped in the circumstance, couldn't tell a soul
Coulda lived a full life until her heart turned cold

Its a cold cold world, don't believe their lies
They call evil good, as the innocent die
But you won't know, if your eyes can't see
If your ears can't hear, if your heart won't bleed

Come on make it bleed homie
Come on, come on, come on make it bleed homie
Come on, come on, come on make it bleed homie
Come on, come on, come on make it bleed bleed bleed
Come on, come on, come on make it bleed
Jesus died on the cross homie, made it bleed homie
Come on, come on, come on make it bleed
Man open up your heart homie make it bleed
