1
(feat. 'POPS')
2
[Verse 1]
3
Night Blows, Stoves don't work, Hoes at work
4
A warrior, so I wear 'em on my shirt
5
Wish I was free as Che was, I spend a day buzzed
6
Tripping on heights, wishing for Nikes in different flavors
7
The age of Kane and Big Daddy,shown by the caddies
8
Uncles named Larry, that really never grabbed me
9
My mother gave birth but she really never had me
10
Left to the hood to play daddy
11
Raised by niggaz named Butch through the bay bay
12
With waists so they weigh they status on the streets
13
License plates that say they, motto This is Chicago in the hay day
14
Similar to Good Times, I guess that I was Jay Jay
15
A skinny nigga, young girls with penny figures
16
So many niggaz, stacked upon each other
17
It's the black upon each other that we love so much
18
Wonder how many of us, these drugs gonna touch
19
Used to gangbang, ain't really thug that much
20
Rather have some thick broads then the dutch to clutch
21
Went to school in Baton Rouge for a couple of years
22
My college career got downed with a couple of beers
23
Came back home, now I gotta pay back loans
24
Same nigga, same block, same shit they own
25
Only thing different, quicker, they click that chrome
26
In my defense, yo I had to hit that zone
27
Man to man, I'm good working with my hands
28
My generation never understood working for the man
29
And, of being broke I ain't a fan
30
Now I stand in the same spot, as my old man
31
My life I planned not to be on this corner
32
I still wanna see California
33
But this is my world
34
[Chorus Repeated Overlapping:]
35
"It's your world"
36
[Common] Yeah
37
[Verse 2]
38
Life and death law around us
39
Four pounds and pounds a verb from out of towners
40
It's hard to stay grounded
41
We stay high, that's why old folks down us
42
Lost, nobody found us, the force that surrounds us
43
Ain't with us, they get us on the ground and hit us
44
We paint pictures of the chains under their names and scriptures
45
Removed from earth, only to return through birth
46
Knew this girl selling her body, wish she knew what it was worth.
47
Between God and trash, looking in every car that pass
48
With a walk that suggests head, to milk niggaz she was breastfed
49
She know dairy so she say cheese to get bread
50
In the area where it's more weaves and less dreads
51
Kinda scary, amongst thieves and base-heads
52
Said it was her toes, but I could tell her soul hurt
53
She was cold turk, growing up she got to know hurt
54
Very well in a world where self hate is overt
55
Her step-father that he was ike, so her mother he striked
56
She got to like like minded niggaz, who liked crimes and figures
57
Doing white lines and liquor, see hard times had kicked her
58
In the ass, it used to be thicker
59
Life is fast, some choose to be quicker
60
I remember in high school she had a passion to sing
61
Now she see herself in a casket in dreams
62
These are the children of crack and rap, blacks done lack
63
Self-esteem, yo we forgot the dream
64
On our Jefferson's y'all but we forgot the theme
65
In the Chi, we even rooting for a garbage team
66
This queen never seen herself on this Corner
67
She still wanna see California
68
But this is her world
69
[Chorus repeated several times]
70
[Kids stating their dreams]
71
['POPS']
72
Be, be here, be there, be that, be this
73
Be grateful for life, be grateful to life
74
Be gleeful everyday, for being the best swimmer among 500,000
75
Be-nign, be you, be mom's mean pie, be little black sambo With bad hair
76
Be aware of what a lynch is, Be, be boundless energy
77
Be a four star ghetto general, be no one except I
78
Be a strong academic student, be an A student in sociology
79
Be food for thought to the growing mind, be the author of your own horoscope
80
Be invited, be long-living, be forgiving, be not forgetful
81
Be a proud run, only to return to fight another day
82
Be peaceful if possible, but justice in ways (?)
83
Be high when you low, be on time but knowing to go
84
Be cautious of the road to college, taking a detour through Vietnam or the middle east
85
Be absent of wars at any past or present fought amongst themselves
86
Be visual of foreclosure over your shoulder while begging
87
A nation built on free labor for reparation, Be a cartopogropher
88
Be a map maker, be able to find afro-american man
89
Search thoroughly it may be close to black man
90
Be ammended 5/5ths, be ammended 5/5ths human
91
Be the owner of more land than is set aside for wild life
92
Be cupid, to world government
93
Be found among the truth, lost tribe
94
Be at full strength when walking through the valley
95
Be not foolish as tender 18 of the mountain tops
96
Be a brilliant soul, sparkling in the galaxy while walking on earth
97
Be loved by God as much as God loved Gandhi and Martin Luther King
98
Be that last one of 144,000, be the resident of that twelfth house
99
Be....eternal!
100
