As The World Turns

As the world turns..

As the world turns my niggaz grow and grow and grow

and get dough and roll and ride

Niggaz die and mommas cry

Niggaz got alibis and suicides and homicides

and three strikes and yo' life and my life and times change

And niggaz fame, as the world turns..

Though I walk thru the valley of hell the shadow follows me

Wisdom hard to swallow tomorrow expect apologies

You probably panic, stranded in search of a better planet

Realism hard to understand, we stand slanted

and still stranded, merciless thieves stole the best of me

I pray to black Jesus to please take the rest of me

And still, the best of us build, and reach monetary gains

Some of us kill, but still, most of us can change

if we search deeper, god bless the hustler, curse the first sleeper

Enemies get beside me, flows go deeper inside

We we ride plots keep all my enemies blinded

Time will soon show, a thought can last for years

Outshinin them fakes smile plastic tears

like last year, niggaz stuck in the past, and it's clear

Just some busta ass bastards allergic to cash this year

Makaveli for the Mob, M-O-B

Killin bustaz is my motherfuckin job, him or me

Lyrically fatally driven, niggaz reported missin

My competition dead or in prison, as the world turns...

Chorus: Darryl 'Big D' Harper, (Tupac - in background)

(Turns.. turns, turns, turns, and turns

My niggaz grow and grow and grow

and gettin dough and dough and dough

from this state to that state

from this cell to that cell, as the world turns)

As the world keeps turnin round and round

It's gon' be goin round as the world turns.. and steady turnin

[Young Noble]
