As The World Turns

As the world turns.. 
As the world turns my niggaz grow and grow and grow 
and get dough and roll and ride 
Niggaz die and mommas cry 
Niggaz got alibis and suicides and homicides 
and three strikes and yo' life and my life and times change 
And niggaz fame, as the world turns.. 

Though I walk thru the valley of hell the shadow follows me 
Wisdom hard to swallow tomorrow expect apologies 
You probably panic, stranded in search of a better planet 
Realism hard to understand, we stand slanted 
and still stranded, merciless thieves stole the best of me 
I pray to black Jesus to please take the rest of me 
And still, the best of us build, and reach monetary gains 
Some of us kill, but still, most of us can change 
if we search deeper, god bless the hustler, curse the first sleeper 
Enemies get beside me, flows go deeper inside 
We we ride plots keep all my enemies blinded 
Time will soon show, a thought can last for years 
Outshinin them fakes smile plastic tears 
like last year, niggaz stuck in the past, and it's clear 
Just some busta ass bastards allergic to cash this year 
Makaveli for the Mob, M-O-B 
Killin bustaz is my motherfuckin job, him or me 
Lyrically fatally driven, niggaz reported missin 
My competition dead or in prison, as the world turns... 

Chorus: Darryl 'Big D' Harper, (Tupac - in background) 

(Turns.. turns, turns, turns, and turns 
My niggaz grow and grow and grow 
and gettin dough and dough and dough 
from this state to that state 
from this cell to that cell, as the world turns) 

As the world keeps turnin round and round 
It's gon' be goin round as the world turns.. and steady turnin 

[Young Noble]
