Last updated
"Cold World" is a song by American rapper GZA, released as the second single from his 1995 album Liquid Swords. It features Inspectah Deck and singer Life, and samples "In the Rain" by the Dramatics, "Plastic People" by the Mothers of Invention, and sounds from the film Shogun Assassin. Interpolations of Stevie Wonder's "Rocket Love" and DeBarge's "Love Me in a Special Way" led to Wonder and DeBarge being credited as songwriters. The track narrates a ghetto murder on New Year's Eve.
