In This World

[Intro]

In this world (This that feeling)

What's happening to love? (It's that feeling you miss)

I'd like to know (It's that love, it's that passion)

(Tone they don't get shit like this no more)

[Verse 1]

Welcome to my longitude and latitude

My attitude is shaping my surroundings:

Skyscrapers, public housing

The sheep is running from the sun

The wolves is howling at the moon

It's tragic how you in the street

Cause you ain't got no avenues

When it come to rapping who's the baddest dude?

(In this world)

You still don't get it

This a recession, what recession?

Dog, we been stressing

Shit been a mess and we been dealing with this depression

Since way back, but you ain't got to say that

That's the greatest lesson

Slave to our possessions

Greed the devil favorite weaponFight to the death, only the greatest left

(In this world)

Let's get it

[Hook]

Lordy, lordy, lordy lord

I been hustling really, really hard

Get up off my ass start making some moves

Put two and two together start paying my dues

I got to get up for it, stand up

In this world

If skills sold truth be told, I'd probably be, lyrically, Talib Kweli (Jay-Z)

[Verse 2]

I get respected by the best MCs (in this world)

The recipe for my success is

One part pain and suffering

Two parts brains and hustling

Sprinkle it over Hi-Tek production

We bubbling like volcanic eruptions

You better buckle in

Push the panic button

Come get your momma to tuck you in

You know we did like no other did it

(In this world)

You gots to get with it

[Bridge]

In this world

What's happening to love?

I'd like to know

[Hook]

[Verse 3]

Ayo, I grab the mic until my hands develop the calluses

My style is bit I only see myself with John Malkovich

My grind miraculous, rhyme for slums to palaces

Facing all my challengers, raising the black power fist

Here to eliminate the counterfeit

(In this world)

Add it up it don't amount to shit

I paid my dues kept the receipt for taxes

Although we stack it we stay stuck in the bracket

It's like a straitjacket

My rebel tactics got the planet spinning off it's axisThe devil laughing when you lazy, man get off your ass and

Talent don't mean nothing without all the practice(In this world)

[Hook]
