The World Is Yours

Lyrics

(It's yours)
 Whose world is this?
 The world is yours, the world is yours
 It's mine, it's mine, it's mine, whose world is this?
 (It's yours)
 It's mine, it's mine, it's mine, whose world is this?
 The world is yours, the world is yours
 It's mine, it's mine, it's mine, whose world is this?
 I sip the Dom P, watchin' Gandhi 'til I'm charged, then
 Writin' in my book of rhymes, all the words past the margin
 To hold the mic I'm throbbin', mechanical movement
 Understandable smooth shit that murderers move with
 The thief's theme (the thief's theme), play me at night, they won't act right
 The fiend of hip-hop has got me stuck like a crack pipe
 The mind activation, react like I'm facin'
 Time like Pappy Mason, with pens I'm embracin'
 Wipe the sweat off my dome, spit the phlegm on the streets
 Suede Timbs on my feets makes my cipher complete
 Whether cruisin' in a Sikh's cab or Montero Jeep
 I can't call it, the beats make me fallin' asleep
 I keep fallin' (I keep fallin'), but never fallin' six feet deep
 I'm out for presidents to represent me (say what?)
 I'm out for presidents to represent me (say what?)
 I'm out for dead presidents to represent me
 Whose world is this?
 The world is yours, the world is yours
 It's mine, it's mine, it's mine, whose world is this?
 The world is yours, the world is yours
 (It's yours)
 It's mine, it's mine, it's mine, whose world is this?
 The world is yours, the world is yours
 It's mine, it's mine, it's mine, whose world is this?
 To my man Ill Will, God bless your life (it's yours)
 To my peoples throughout Queens, God bless your life
 I trip, we box up crazy bitches, aimin' guns in all my baby pictures
 Beef with housing police, release scriptures that's maybe Hitler's
 Yet I'm the mild, money-gettin' style, rollin' foul
 The versatile, honey-stickin', wild, golden child
 Dwellin' in the Rotten Apple, you get tackled
 Or caught by the devil's lasso, shit is a hassle
 There's no days for broke days when sellin' smoke pays
 While all the old folks pray to Jesús, soakin' they sins in trays
 Of holy water, odds against Nas is slaughter
 Thinkin' a word best describin' my life to name my daughter
 My strength, my son, the star will be my resurrection
 Born in correction, all the wrong shit I did, he'll lead in right direction
 How you livin'? Large or broke on charge cards and mediocre?
 You flippin' coke or playin' spit, spades, and strip poker?
 (It's yours)
 It's mine, it's mine, it's mine, whose world is this?
 The world is yours, the world is yours
 It's mine, it's mine, it's mine, whose world is this?
 (It's yours)
 It's mine, it's mine, it's mine, whose world is this? (Yo)
 The world is yours, the world is yours
 It's mine, it's mine, it's mine, whose world is this?
 (It's yours)
 Break it down
 It's yours
 It's yours
 It's yours
 It's yours
 ♪
 I'm the young city bandit, hold myself down single-handed
 For murder raps, I kick my thoughts alone, get remanded
 Born alone, die alone, no crew to keep my crown or throne
 I'm deep by sound alone, caved inside, a thousand miles from home
 I need a new nigga for this black cloud to follow
 'Cause while it's over me it's too dark to see tomorrow
 Tryin' to maintain, I flip, fill the clip to the tip
 Picturin' my peeps not eatin' can make my heartbeat skip
 And I'm amped up, they locked the champ up, even my brain's in handcuffs
 Headed for Indiana, stabbin' women like the Phantom
 The crew is lampin' Big Willie style
 Check the chip-toothed smile, plus I profile wild
 Stash loot in fly clothes, burnin' dollars to light my stoge
 Walk the blocks with a bop, checkin' dames, plus the games people play
 Bust the problems of the world today
 (It's yours)
 It's mine, it's mine, it's mine, whose world is this?
 The world is yours, the world is yours
 It's mine, it's mine, it's mine, whose world is this?
 (It's yours)
 It's mine, it's mine, it's mine, whose world is this? (Yeah)
 The world is yours, the world is yours
 It's mine, it's mine, it's mine, whose world is this?
 (It's yours)
 (Break it down) yeah, a'ight
 To everybody in Queens, the foundation (it's yours)
 The world is yours
 To everybody uptown, yo, the world is yours (it's yours)
 The world is yours
 To everybody in Brooklyn
 Y'all know the world is yours (it's yours)
 The world is yours
 Everybody in Mount Vernon, the world is yours (it's yours)
 Long Island, yo, the world is yours (it's yours)
 Staten Island, yeah, the world is yours (it's yours)
 South Bronx, the world is yours (it's yours)
