文本歌词

Yeah yeah yeah yeah nas uh yo yo
Life they wonder can they take me under
Nah never that nah yo yo
I come from the housin tenement buildings
Unlimited killings menaces marked for death
Better known as the projects where junkies and rock heads dwell
Though I owe to it my success
With survival of the fittest everyday is a chal'
I would think I'm a part of u s a and be proud
Confronted with racism started to feel foreign
Like the darker you are the realer your problems
I reached for the stars but I just kept slippin
On this life mission never know what's next
Ancient kings from egypt up to julius cezar
Had a piece of the globe every continent
Yo there's asia africa europe france japan
Pakistan america afghanstan
Yo there's protestants jews blacks arabics
Call a truce world peace stop actin like savages
No war we should take time and think
The bombs and tanks makes mankind extinct
But since the beginning of time it's been men with arms fightin
Lost lives in the towers and pentagon why then
Must it go on we must stop the killin
Tell me why we die we all god's children
All this hate can't last forever
Uh c'mon
It's time that we stand together
Yeah for the world
Everybody wants to rule the world
What what what what what c'mon
World
Peace
World
Peace
World
Peace

Yo there's brothers on the block posted up like they own it
That's they corner from new york to california
Got blocks locked down
Like dog you safe whenever you with me see this is my town
So the youngsters grows in ghettos goes to prison
At an early age already know it's against him
So in order for him to survive one day he must
Open up his eyes to the set backs and rise
'Cause everybody wants a shot in this land of opportunity
Look at what this country's got
There shouldn't be nobody homeless
How can the president fix other problems when he ain't fixed home yet
The earth wasn't made for one man to rule alone
To all colors increases to home it belongs
I want land mansions banks and gold
The diamonds in africa oil in my control
The world's natural resources all its residuals
But then comes foes I have to gaurd it with missels
And I become the most wanted
But is it worth hearin a million people problems and followed by secret service
I guess attempts at my life with loaded barrels
So move over colin powell or just throw in the towel yo
All this hate can't last forever
Uh c'mon
It's time that we stand together
Yeah for the world
Everybody wants to rule the world
What what what what what c'mon
World
Peace
World
Peace
World
Peace
World
Y'all know that's my style to hit you at the right time
No other compares to what nas write down
Tell you my dreams show you my pain is yours
You could get what you love be a chain in cause
You alive right now
There's so many that's dead or locked up inside the beast I'm a hot light now
It's whatever man think of manifest to the real
The plan is to wake up 'cause time reveals
All this hate can't forever last
All my ghetto heroes in heaven it's like you right here and never passed
You just transcend I know I'm gon' see you again
Hopin I reach the world leaders and win
Ain't nothin without struggle listen up it's critical
We used to fear arms now the weapons are chemical
In hip hop the weapons are lyrical
To be the best you challenge the best then the blessings are spiritual
Top of the world for the kid and unless
Poppin any rapper's head off his shoulders no contest
I know the most high hear me so fly you can't near me
You scared of a mirror my theory is that knowledge is power
To every projects and every street corner we gotta get ours now
All this hate can't last forever
Uh c'mon
It's time that we stand together
Yeah for the world
Everybody wants to rule the world
What what what what what c'mon
World
Peace
World
Peace
World
Peace

Yo n***as ain't forget s**t know what I'm sayin
N***as ain't forget nothin
Men women and children killed by the police and s**t
N***as ain't gon' forget that you know what I mean
Yo what this war just show me is like whatever you want out of life
Whatever you feel is rightfully yours go out and take it
Even if that means blood and death
You know that's what I was raised up on that's what this country's about
This is what my country is and my country's a muthaf**ka
