In This World |
This that feeling |
(What's happening to love?) |
It’s that feeling you miss |
(I'd like to know) |
It’s that love, it’s that passion |
Tone they don’t get shit like this no more |
What happen to the love? |
What happen to the love? |
What happen to the? |
Reflex, ayyo |
Welcome to my longitude and latitude |
My attitude is shaping my surroundings |
Skyscrapers, public housing |
The sheep is running from the sun |
The wolves is howling at the moon |
It’s tragic how you in the street |
'Cause you ain’t got no avenues |
When it come to rapping who’s the baddest dude? |
(In this world) |
You still don’t get it, this a recession, what recession? |
Dog, we been stressing |
Shit been a mess and we been dealing with this depression |
Since way back but you ain’t got to say that |
That’s the greatest lesson, slave to our possessions |
Greed the devil favorite weapon |
Fight to the death, only the greatest left |
(In this world) |
Let’s get it |
Lordy, lordy, lordy, lord |
I been hustling really, really hard |
Get up off my ass start making some moves |
Put two and two together start paying my dues |
I got to get up for it, stand up in this world |
If skills sold truth be told, I’d probably be lyrically Talib Kweli |
Lyrically Talib Kweli, Talib Kweli |
I get respected by the best MC’s |
(In this world) |
The recipe for my success is one part pain and suffering |
Two parts brains and hustling |
Sprinkle it over Hi-Tek production |
We bubbling like volcanic eruptions |
You better buckle in, push the panic button |
Come get your momma to tuck you in |
You know we did like no other did it |
(In this world) |
You gots to get with it |
In this world |
What’s happening to love? |
I’d like to know |
Lordy, lordy, lordy, lord |
I been hustling really, really hard |
Get up off my ass start making some moves |
Put two and two together start paying my dues |
I got to get up for it, stand up in this world |
Ayo, I grab the mic until my hands develop the calluses |
My style is bit, I only see myself with John Malkovich |
My grind miraculous, rhyme for slums to palaces |
Facing all my challengers, raising the black power fist |
Here to eliminate the counterfeit |
(In this world) |
Add it up it don’t amount to shit |
I paid my dues kept the receipt for taxes |
Although we stack it we stay stuck in the bracket |
It’s like a straitjacket |
My rebel tactics got the planet spinning off it’s axis |
The devil laughing when you lazy, man, get off your ass |
And talent don’t mean nothing without all the practice |
(In this world) |
Lordy, lordy, lordy, lord |
I been hustling really, really hard |
Get up off my ass start making some moves |
Put two and two together start paying my dues |
I got to get up for it, stand up in this world |
