The Show Goes On

Lyrics

LA-SER
 Yeah, yeah
 Kane is in the building, nigga (yeah)
 Alright, already, the show goes on
 All night, 'til the morning we dream so long
 Anybody ever wonder
 When they would see the sun up
 Just remember when you come up
 The show goes on
 Alright, already, the show goes on
 All night, 'til the morning we dream so long
 Anybody ever wonder
 When they would see the sun up
 Just remember when you come up
 The show goes on
 Have you ever had the feelin' that you was bein' had?
 Don't that shit there make you mad?
 They treat you like a slave
 Put chains all on your soul and put whips up on your back
 They be lyin' through they teeth
 Hope you slip up off your path
 I don't switch up, I just laugh
 Put my kicks up on they desk
 Unaffected by they threats
 Then get busy on they ass
 See, that's how that Chi-Town made me
 That's how my daddy raised me
 That glitterin' may not be gold
 Don't let nobody play me
 If you are my homeboy, you never have to pay me
 Go in and put your hands up
 When times is hard, you stand up
 L-U-P the man, 'cause the brand that the fans trust
 So even if they ban us, they'll never slow my plans up
 Alright, already, the show goes on
 All night, 'til the morning we dream so long
 Anybody ever wonder
 When they would see the sun up
 Just remember when you come up
 The show goes on
 Alright, already, the show goes on
 All night, 'til the morning we dream so long
 Anybody ever wonder
 When they would see the sun up
 Just remember when you come up
 The show goes on
 One in the air for the people ain't here
 Two in the air for the father that's there
 Three in the air for the kids in the ghetto
 Four for the kids that don't wanna be there
 None for the niggas tryna hold them back
 Five in the air for the teachers not scared
 To tell those kids that's livin' in the ghetto
 That the niggas holdin' back, that the world is theirs
 Yeah, yeah, the world is yours, I was once that little boy
 Terrified of the world, now I'm on a world tour
 I would give up everything, even start a world war
 For these ghetto girls and boys
 I'm rappin' round the world for
 Africa to New York, Haiti, then I detour
 Oakland out to Auckland, Gaza Strip to Detroit
 Say hip-hop only destroy, tell 'em look at me, boy
 I hope your son don't have a gun and never be a d-boy
 Alright, already, the show goes on
 All night, 'til the morning we dream so long
 Anybody ever wonder
 When they would see the sun up
 Just remember when you come up
 The show goes on
 Alright, already, the show goes on
 All night, 'til the morning we dream so long
 Anybody ever wonder
 When they would see the sun up
 Just remember when you come up
 The show goes on
 So, no matter what you been through
 No matter what you into
 No matter what you see when you look outside your window
 Brown grass or green grass, picket fence or barbed wire
 Never ever put them down, you just lift your arms higher
 Raise 'em 'til your arms tired, let 'em know you here
 That you strugglin', survivin', that you gon' persevere
 Yeah, ain't nobody leavin', nobody goin' home
 Even if they turn the lights out, the show is goin' on
 Alright, already, the show goes on
 All night, 'til the morning we dream so long
 Anybody ever wonder
 When they would see the sun up
 Just remember when you come up
 The show goes on
 Alright, already, the show goes on
 All night, 'til the morning we dream so long
 Anybody ever wonder
 When they would see the sun up
 Just remember when you come up
 The show goes on
 The show goes on
 The show goes on
 The show goes on
 The show goes on
