I just woke up, found nobody was home
been looking everywhere and I can’t find my phone
searching for answers but don’t really know
Where did everybody go?
I’m running down the neighborhood looking for somebody
That I know around here today
been knocking on some doors, and asking what for
But no one’s got a thing to say
Cold-hearted haters, trying to build up a throne (they try to build it)
Cold-hearted haters, take what they don’t even know (they're gonna steal it)
Cold-hearted haters, I want them out of my life (got to get out)
Cold-hearted haters, words cut like a knife (got to stop it)
I never understood why they're asking for assistance
They're always gonna meet it with the greatest resistance
Now i need to get me all alone, I’m going out of the known
driving in my car, I’m following the star
locked inside the zone
I’ve been singing undercover, asking you for nothing
And nothing is what I know
Cold-hearted haters, telling me where to go (try and wreck me)
Cold-hearted haters, telling me what to know (try to change me)
Cold-hearted haters, telling me what to show (try to break me)
Cold-hearted haters, I think their gonna blow (going to blow it out)
You try to stabilize it, you finally realize
just building up inside of your head
You think you’re everybody’s long term friend,
it’s just something that you said
You didn’t want to give them everything you got,
so you’re telling them it’s not too hot
You’ve been giving out answers, never read directions,
now your plans are shot
It’s easy to deceive them with your latest illusion,
they don’t really know what they know
It’s an easy fix if they think a little bit, they’ll see you’re all for show
Cold-hearted haters, trying to build up a throne (they try to build it)
Cold-hearted haters, take what they don’t even know (they're gonna steal it)
Cold-hearted haters, I want them out of my life (got to get out)
Cold-hearted haters, words cut like a knife (got to stop it)
