It's Your World

[Verse 1: Napoleon Da Legend] It gets rough you can get buzz they Start saying you the next up Life slows ya momentum they start saying you messed up The way it's set up they don't teach us the biz Cause They scared that's once we learn it we start reaching the kids Paycheck to paycheck bill after bill stack It's almost like a song got me feeling like Ronnie milsap Nostalgia it's natural for us to want that "feel" back Politic with snakes mostly find me where the "real" at Started from a brick and then you wonder how they build that Some get depressed and give up hope over a mishap Followed by the shadow of death where it's pitch black Survived hell that's why I take the time to give back Schools is underfunded children undereducated Leaders we would look up to is under investigation Better to love the art never worship the artist We born with a spark but often it gets tarnished Temptation of taking the fast lane I rather move slow then burn out in fast flame Like Paul walker rest in power kid my thoughts race a thousand per hour With light beams that make the clouds split Walking thru Flatbush junction to with a function corruption Starts at the top and grows like a fungus Makes me wonder how we keep from going under People’s minds waking up and we growing in numbers The color of Americas changing information is shared Love is love it's contagious to care The system is rigged and the truth is the game isn't fair Overseas my cousins barefoot I gave him a pair Flashing paper on ya snaps but no paper to share The kids are listening so watch what you say on the snare it's your world [Hook: Vocalist] It’s Your World [Verse 2: Napoleon Da Legend] Judge mental no person without an apparent flaw They say the youth lost but who raised em that's the parents fault Family picture where ya dad at? Out the picture Mom bitter grew up thinking that the world out to get cha Spazzes out in school cause he's jealous of his peers Bullying the class you can tell that he wears his emotions on his sleeve coping with his inner demons It's hard to shine they intimidated by the genius His mom loves him but neglected by the pops In a few years they predict he'll be arrested by the cops Emulating rap stars he be seeing on the web With these chicks you already chivalry is dead Hanging out on the corner at night with older dudes Put in uncomfortable positions he gotta show and prove Going thru the motions for a few dollars in his pocket Copped him a pair of Jordans now he feeling like he got it Limeade and chicken pattie from fisherman cove All he can do is live day by day and get a with the flow Headphones wrapped tight on his dome makes him escape Had a chance to play ball but he gave it away They say the only to way to really learns to make a mistake Doing what he know to survive open your eyes Easy to judge from the outside And take the truth apart from the lie Low income neighborhoods is apartheid And as we grow, feels like a part of us dies A smart kid with opportunities that compromised Trying to wash the pain like a load of clothing in the laundromat Cuffed up in the subway cops caught em with a Ganja sack But that's exactly what he needed Life's a treadmill trynna find the meaning it's your world Chorus: [Verse 3: Narubi Selah} This gotta be more than a hashtag More than a profile post and a du-rag More than a raise black fists when we get mad More than a lace front wig, MCM bag It's a real war With a real pale horse and a real whore A real major beef to settle with a real score Self-sufficient all my people nothing less or more It's Emmit Till, P. Castile, Brian Moore More than organized marches and death music Timmy Turner had a burner but he never used it You're a Panda, I'm a Panther, don't ever confuse it And if you're mad like you say you're mad, then you should lose it You should lose it for the Dante's Ramarley Graham, and Johnny Crawfords The Sarah Blands The Freddie Grays and South Chicago Sean Bell, Young Shantel, A.
