"Cold World" is a song by American rapper and Wu-Tang Clan member GZA, released on November 28, 1995, as the second single from his second studio album Liquid Swords (1995).

It features fellow Wu-Tang member Inspectah Deck and singer Life.

[2] It features gritty and surreal lyrics, while the production uses a simple musical variation, with the beat containing a strong bassline, crispy drums and hi-hats, in addition to occasional plucked guitars echoing eerily and the sound of a snowstorm howling into the background.

[2] Steve "Flash" Juon of RapReviews wrote of the song, "The instrumental alone is a Wu-banger, but when hearing Inspectah Deck provide the guest verse following GZA's it not only solidifies the dopeness of the cut but damn near upstages GZA's reputation as the tightest lyricist in the Clan".

[3] The song later received a remix, in which Life's feature was replaced by American singer D'Angelo.
