As the World Turns

Lyrics

"Now, I thought I would talk about today
 For your consideration, as the world turns
 As the world turns, you read in all these scriptures
 About the world, find out that the world does turn!"
 As the world keeps spinning, we live these days
 Dollar bill done drove the whole world crazy
 While sitting on the porch letting ganja blaze
 Never hesitate a moment to enhance my phrase
 Since I needed that escape I take my pull
 Seen the thugs on the corner trying to act all cool
 Pretty much out of character
 I look right through, their transparent exterior
 You in my book getting written and I'm the derriere
 Thought you was peeping me but I was aware of ya
 You peep my ill expressions, how I just glare about
 Trying to trace my inner world and my whereabouts
 Well try on, try on
 I'm watching everything that's going down
 And it ain't nothing that I ain't been around
 The same ghetto but a different town
 Weeell, I remember growing up in the P-a-c
 It was a whole lot of love in my family
 I had clothes on my back and shoes on my feet
 Times we didn't have a lot but that was fine with me
 In good times and even bad times
 Whether rainy, grey sky or the sunshine
 Life was so much simpler, I didn't realise it then
 But time has definitely made me a wiser man
 [Chorus 2x: Erinn Anova]
 The world keeps turning round
 And time just keeps on moving
 Sunday morning in the church just singing a song
 Mama gave much praise cause her soul was strong
 When I was young I used to do lots of thangs was wrong
 I never thought about till one day she was gone
 Now my daddy passed on about a year before
 Reminiscing as I glance at the fishing pole
 But these things gotta happen so we all can grow
 And now they spirits much freer than they was befo'
 So fly on, fly on, fly on, fly on, fly on, fly on, fly on
 Cause there's angels in the midst
 And they're guiding and watching me every day
 And even though at times I let it get to me
 Just a little and I go astray
 We keep marching on and on
 Young militants will watch and now we're growing
 With kids of their own, as it all unfolds
 As the world keeps turning on, the world keeps turning on
 [Chorus 4x]
 This one goes out to family, y'all come first
 G-A-B, Chief Xcel, Blackalicious, out
