The World

The world
The world
The world
The world
M.I.a., state to state
I got people on my case
I got words from my speakers
And my speakers on some crates
I know too much real
For me to be fake
You can fuck with this
Fuckers, but
You can never take
Imitators stay away
While I sleep they try to take
Yeah.. They like what I'm making
And they want my piece of cake
Imitators stay away
While I sleep they try to take
Yeah.. They like what I'm making
And they want my piece of cake
Imitators stay away
While I sleep they try to take
Yeah.. They like what I'm making
And they want my piece of cake
(Ooh, we can load this! Ooh, we can load that!)
The world, the people, you and me, may not do
Hey!!!! Hey!... When I jump you say
I-I-I-it's the music
