Waiting For The World To End - Rakim[00:00:00]
Written by:Chris Martin/William Griffin/Eric Barrier[00:00:01]
Yeah it's the god rakim[00:00:03]
Word up I'm blazin' this out to all my comrades[00:00:08]
Ya na mean from the slums of New York[00:00:12]
To the gutters all over the world this is for y'all[00:00:18]
Through my travels I try to take righteous steps[00:00:23]
Because right or left could mean life or death[00:00:26]
No matter how trife it get my sights is set[00:00:28]
But it's twice the threat when the night is death[00:00:31]
My mental windows refuse to close they get exposed[00:00:33]
To the neighborhood info where the poison wind blows[00:00:36]
A deadly plague spreadin' negativity viciously[00:00:39]
Unto every city be in ghetto misery[00:00:42]
Don't let it get to me the writer be left to die[00:00:44]
But it get mesmerize if it catch your eye[00:00:47]
Shines enormous from pure revered Kool's and garments[00:00:49]
But it's torment jealousy drug wars or warring[00:00:52]
Tallying slowly turnin' into barbarians[00:00:55]
More scary when the whole boulevard's carryin'[00:00:57]
Livin' in the world of sin my ghetto girls and men[00:01:00]
Waiting for the world to end[00:01:03]
Tryin' to paint a perfect picture and excel[00:01:06]
In case you didn't know[00:01:11]
Never movin' backwards[00:01:12]
Complicated[00:01:13]
Know what I mean[00:01:14]
Tryin' to paint a perfect picture and excel[00:01:17]
In case you didn't know[00:01:21]
Never movin' backwards[00:01:22]
Complicated[00:01:24]
Know what I mean[00:01:25]
I see destruction even little kids trust none[00:01:26]
They bust guns that's what they get a rush from[00:01:29]
When I see 'em we build and have a real discussion[00:01:31]
Yo Ra what's the jewel of the day what's up son[00:01:34]
You got ambition shorty said man listen[00:01:36]
I got demands for livin' can't stand division[00:01:39]
Make grands on my mission till everything glisten[00:01:41]
Women in the expedition no plans for prison[00:01:44]
In a vision the city get 2 milleni G[00:01:47]
Sittin' in my MSC sippin' hennesy[00:01:50]
Gettin' high and watch life pass me by[00:01:52]
So I asked him why[00:01:55]
Wit a fast reply he said I'm livin' just to die without any feelings[00:01:56]
So I wait here for my maker till it's time to go[00:02:00]
Wit this dime I know wit all of her girls and all of my mens[00:02:02]
Waitin' for the world to end[00:02:06]
Tryin' to paint a perfect picture and excel[00:02:09]
In case you didn't know[00:02:13]
Never movin' backwards[00:02:15]
Complicated[00:02:16]
Know what I mean[00:02:17]
Tryin' to paint a perfect picture and excel[00:02:19]
In case you didn't know[00:02:24]
Never movin' backwards[00:02:25]
Complicated[00:02:27]
Shorty was taught to keep his head to the sky and never cry[00:02:28]
But the streets left him to die now it's death in his eye[00:02:31]
Livin' a sin of hitmen a sinister grin[00:02:34]
From beginning to end in it to win[00:02:36]
Evil rebels doin' what we doin' in the ghetto[00:02:39]
Thinkin' if we was thorough we can deceive the devil[00:02:42]
You can't win your life be end try again[00:02:44]
Shorty said why we born again to die again[00:02:47]
That's what I said when I realized I had a gift[00:02:50]
To uplift and be one of Allah's advocates[00:02:52]
Teach the youth and speak the truth[00:02:55]
Show 'em what peace can do when ill reach for you[00:02:57]
And my reward won't be jewels or cheese it's even better[00:03:00]
I can be one of the greatest MC's ever[00:03:03]
If I tell 'em they intelligent women and great men[00:03:05]
And live stop waitin' for the world to end[00:03:08]
Tryin' to paint a perfect picture and excel[00:03:12]
In case you didn't know[00:03:16]
Never movin' backwards[00:03:17]
Complicated[00:03:19]
Know what I mean[00:03:20]
Tryin' to paint a perfect picture and excel[00:03:22]
In case you didn't know[00:03:27]
Never movin' backwards[00:03:28]
Complicated[00:03:29]
Know what I mean[00:03:30]
I'm ragin' rippin' up the stage an'[00:03:31]
Don't it sound amazin' know what I mean[00:03:34]
Don't it sound amazin' know what I mean[00:03:39]
