Rule The World (I Came From the City) |
| Do I want to rule the world? |
| Or will it conquer me? |
| Do I |
| Or will it turn to me? |
| Do I lose my mind? |
| Cause it’s been wandering |
| Will they ever let me out? |
| I’ve been wondering |
| I came from the city, yeah |
| I came from the city, yeah |
| I came from the city, yeah |
| I came from the city, yeah |
| Got my name from the city, where? |
| The most dangerous city, let’s take a trip back |
| Back in the time |
| 1977, it was maximum crime |
| The president neglected us, him and 6 masterminds |
| Six powerful men put New York through some drastic times |
| The rich and selfish ones feed off the welfare ones |
| And which borough suffered the worst? |
| Hmm where I’m from |
| The Bronx |
| We had to rumble with rivals on the rubble |
| While buildings around us would crumble |
| I dream right but it seem like nothing find me be trouble |
| I see the light, it’s right there at the end of the tunnel |
| Had to find my rope to pull me up |
| Cause I needed some kind of hope to fill me up |
| Till I met one guy, took 'em under the wing |
| I coulda died if this man ain’t intervene |
| He was an orphan, my savior |
| Free spirited, no man braver |
| He was honored and gifted, his name was Shaolin Fantastic |
| The lady killin' romantic, can’t forget the day we met |
| And this story be canceled but yo my life began last year |
| Sophomore High School, that summer I saw her, said to myself |
| She’ll be my wife soon |
| Take me out of my self |
| Help me lose control |
| Show me love, show me happiness |
| I can’t do this on my own |
| Take me out of my self |
| Help me lose control |
| Show me love, show me happiness |
| I can’t do this on my own |
