Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, Nas, uh, yo, yo[00:03:40]

Life, they wonder, can they take me under?[00:03:40]

Nah, never that, nah, yo, yo[00:03:40]

I come from the housin tenement buildings[00:03:40]

Unlimited killings, menaces marked for death[00:03:40]

Better known as the projects where junkies and rock heads dwell[00:03:40]

Though I owe to it my success[00:03:40]

With survival of the fittest, everyday is a chal'[00:03:40]

I would think I'm a part of U.S.A. and be proud[00:03:40]

Confronted with racism, started to feel foreign[00:03:40]

Like, the darker you are the realer your problems[00:03:40]

I reached for the stars but I just kept slippin[00:03:40]

On this life mission, never know what's next[00:03:40]

Ancient kings from Egypt, up to Julius Cezar[00:03:40]

Had a piece of the globe, every continent[00:03:40]

Yo, there's Asia, Africa, Europe, France, Japan[00:03:40]

Pakistan, America, Afghanstan[00:03:40]

Yo, there's Protestants, Jews, Blacks, Arabics[00:03:40]

Call a truce, world peace, stop actin like savages[00:03:40]

No war, we should take time and think[00:03:40]

The bombs and tanks makes mankind extinct[00:03:40]

But since the beginning of time it's been men with arms fightin[00:03:40]

Lost lives in the Towers and Pentagon, why then?[00:03:40]

Must it go on, we must stop the killin[00:03:40]

Tell me why we die, we all God's children[00:03:40]

All this hate can't last forever (uh, c'mon)[00:03:40]

It's time that we stand together (yeah, for the world)[00:03:40]

Everybody wants to rule the world (what, what, what, what, what, c'mon)[00:03:40]

World (peace), world (peace), world (peace), world[00:03:40]

Yo, there's brothers on the block, posted up like they own it[00:03:40]

That's they corner, from New York to California[00:03:40]

Got blocks locked down[00:03:40]

Like, "dog you safe whenever you with me, see this is my town"[00:03:40]

So the youngsters, grows in ghettos, goes to prison[00:03:40]

At an early age, already know it's against him[00:03:40]

So in order for him to survive, one day he must[00:03:40]

Open up his eyes to the set backs and rise[00:03:40]

'Cause, everybody wants a shot, in this land of opportunity[00:03:40]

Look at what this country's got[00:03:40]

There shouldn't be nobody homeless[00:03:40]

How can the president fix other problems when he ain't fixed home yet[00:03:40]

The earth wasn't made for one man to rule alone[00:03:40]

To all colors increases, to home it belongs[00:03:40]

I want land, mansions, banks and gold[00:03:40]

The diamonds in Africa, oil in my control[00:03:40]

The world's natural resources, all its residuals[00:03:40]

But then comes foes, I have to gaurd it with missels[00:03:40]

And I become the most wanted[00:03:40]

But is it worth hearin a million people problems and followed by Secret Service[00:03:40]

I guess, attempts at my life with loaded barrels[00:03:40]

So move over Colin Powell or just throw in the towel, yo[00:03:40]

All this hate can't last forever (uh, c'mon)[00:03:40]

It's time that we stand together (yeah, for the world)[00:03:40]

Everybody wants to rule the world (what, what, what, what, what, c'mon)[00:03:40]

World (peace), world (peace), world (peace), world[00:03:40]

Y'all know that's my style, to hit you at the right time[00:03:40]

No other compares to what Nas write down[00:03:40]

Tell you my dreams, show you my pain is yours[00:03:40]

You could get what you love, be a chain in cause[00:03:40]

You alive right now[00:03:40]

There's so many that's dead or locked up inside the beast, I'm a hot light now[00:03:40]

It's whatever man think of manifest to the real[00:03:40]

The plan is to wake up 'cause time reveals[00:03:40]

All this hate can't forever last[00:03:40]

All my ghetto heroes in Heaven, it's like you right here and never passed[00:03:40]

You just transcend, I know I'm gon' see you again[00:03:40]

Hopin I reach the world leaders and win[00:03:40]

Ain't nothin without struggle, listen up, it's critical[00:03:40]

We used to fear arms, now the weapons are chemical[00:03:40]

In Hip-Hop, the weapons are lyrical[00:03:40]

To be the best you challenge the best, then the blessings are spiritual[00:03:40]

Top of the world for the kid and unless[00:03:40]

Poppin any rapper's head off his shoulders no contest[00:03:40]

I know the Most High hear me, so fly you can't near me[00:03:40]

You scared of a mirror, my theory is that - knowledge is power[00:03:40]

To every projects and every street corner, we gotta get ours now[00:03:40]

All this hate can't last forever (uh, c'mon)[00:03:40]

It's time that we stand together (yeah, for the world)[00:03:40]

Everybody wants to rule the world (what, what, what, what, what, c'mon)[00:03:40]

World (peace), world (peace), world (peace), world[00:03:40]

Yo, niggas ain't forget shit, know what I'm sayin?[00:03:40]

Niggas ain't forget nothin[00:03:40]

Men, women, and children killed by the police and shit[00:03:40]

Niggas ain't gon' forget that, you know what I mean?[00:03:40]

Yo, what this war just show me is like, whatever you want out of life[00:03:40]

Whatever you feel is rightfully yours, go out and take it[00:03:40]

Even if that means blood and death[00:03:40]

You know, that's what I was raised up on, that's what this country's about[00:03:40]

This is what my country is, and my country's a muthaf**ka[00:03:40]
