[Chorus (2x):]
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 that 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-U-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
[Repeat Chorus (2x):]
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 thats Living in the ghetto that the niggas holdin back that the World is theirs!
32
Yeah yeah, the World is yours, I was once that little boy
33
Terrified of the World
34
Now I’m on a World tour
35
I will give up everything, even start a world war
36
For these ghettos girls and boys im rapping round’ the World for!
37
Africa to New York, Haiti then I detour, Oakland out to Auckland
38
Gaza Strip to Detroit, say hip-hop only destroy
39
Tell em’ look at me, boy!
40
I hope your son don’t have a gun and never be a D-boy
41
[Repeat Chorus (2x):]
42
[Verse 3:]
43
So no matter what you been through
44
No matter what you into
45
No matter what you see when you look outside your window
46
Brown grass or green grass
47
Picket fence or barbed wire
48
Never ever put them down
49
You just lift your arms higher
50
Raise em till’ your arms tired
51
Let em’ know you’re there
52
That you struggling and survivin’ that you gonna persevere
53
Yeah, ain’t no body leavin, no body goin’ home
