1
[Chorus x2:]
2
Alright, already the show goes on
3
All night, till the morning we dream so long
4
Anybody ever wonder, when they would see the sun up
5
Just remember when you come up
6
The show goes on!
7
[Verse 1:]
8
Have you ever had the feeling that you was being had
9
Don't that shit make you mad
10
They treat you like a slave, with chains all on your soul,
11
And put whips up on your back,
12
They be lying through they teeth
13
Hope you slip up off your path
14
I don't switch up I just laugh
15
Put my kicks up on they desk
16
Unaffected by they threats than get busy on they ass
17
See that's how that Chi-Town made me
18
That's how my daddy raised me
19
That glittering may not be gold, don't let no body play me
20
If you are my homeboy, you never have to pay me
21
Go on and put your hands up, when times are hard you stand up
22
L-you-P the man, cause a brand that the fans trust
23
So even if they ban us they'll never slow my plans up!
24
[Chorus x2]
25
[Verse 2:]
26
One in the air for the people that ain't here
27
Two in the air for the father that's there
28
Three in the air for the kids in the ghetto
29
Four for the kids who don't wanna be there
30
None for the niggas trying to hold them back
31
Five in the air for the teacher not scared to tell those kids that's living in the ghetto
32
That the niggas holdin back that the World is theirs!
33
Yeah yeah, the World is yours, I was once that little boy
34
Terrified of the World
35
Now I'm on a World tour
36
I will give up everything, even start a world war
37
For these ghettos girls and boys I'm rapping round' the World for!
38
Africa to New York, Haiti then I detour, Oakland out to Auckland
39
Gaza Strip to Detroit, say hip-hop only destroy
40
Tell em' look at me, boy!
41
I hope your son don't have a gun and that would be a D-boy
42
[Chorus x2]
43
[Verse 3:]
44
So no matter what you been through
45
No matter what you into
46
No matter what you see when you look outside your window
47
Brown grass or green grass
48
Picket fence or barbed wire
49
Never ever put them down
50
You just lift your arms higher
51
Raise em till' your arms tired
52
Let em' know you're their
53
That you struggling and survivin' that you gonna persevere
54
Yeah, ain't no body leavin, no body goin' home
55
Even if they turn the lights out the show is goin' on!
56
[Chorus x2]
