[00:00.29]So I was talking about this music and uhh
[00:04.07]To my man earlier, Green Lantern, I said
[00:07.51]I wrote: "The word best—
[00:10.25]I'm thinkin' a word best describin' my life
[00:12.64]To name my daughter, my strength.
[00:14.63]My son, the star will be my resurrection."
[00:18.14]I didn't know I would have kids at all when I wrote at 20
[00:21.27]Some years ago, I had a daughter then I had a son just like
[00:25.15]I setted that rhyme
[00:26.70]You put down stuff on that paper, you'd be surprised
[00:32.72]The atmosphere reads it, the universe reads it
[00:37.84]And hears it, they can hear our thoughts, this universe
[00:40.88]Be careful what you're thinking
[00:42.92]Because it doesn't know
[00:43.67]How to differentiate what you mean with those thoughts
[00:46.95]It will—it will give it to you though
[00:50.14]I was blessed, I was lucky with that
[00:51.38]
[01:16.57](It's yours)
[01:20.20](it's—it's—it's—it's yours)
[01:25.44]I sip the Dom P, watchin' Gandhi 'til I'm charged
[01:28.12]Writin' in my book of rhymes, all the words past the margin
[01:31.01]Behold the mic I'm throbbin', my movement
[01:33.75]Understandable smooth *******t that murderers move with
[01:36.34]The thief's theme, play me at night, they won't act right
[01:38.97]The fiend of hip-hop has got me stuck like a crack pipe
[01:41.51]The mind activation,
[01:42.92]React like I'm facin' time like Pappy Mason
[01:46.01]With pens I'm embracin'
[01:47.00]Wipe the sweat off my dome, spit the phlegm on the streets
[01:49.31]Suede Timbs on my feet makes my cipher complete
[01:51.99]Whether cruisin' in a Six cab or Montero Jeep
[01:54.84]I can't call it, the beats make me fallin' asleep
[01:56.98]I keep fallin', but never fallin' six feet deep
[02:00.26]I'm out for presidents to represent me (Say what?)
[02:03.54]I'm out for presidents to represent me (Say what?)
[02:05.68]President Barack Obama, he represents me
[02:08.47]
[02:09.91]The world is yours
[02:12.10]It's mine, it's mine, it's mine—whose?
[02:15.34]The world is yours, the world is yours
[02:18.47]Can you believe it?
[02:19.87]It's your world, it's yours
[02:22.75]It's mine—it's
[02:24.55]Can you believe it?
[02:25.74]I said the world is yours
[02:27.63]Believe it, yeah
[02:29.38]To my man Ill Will (God bless your life)
[02:32.02]To my people right here (bless your life)
[02:35.16]
[02:35.35]I trip, we box up crazy *****es
[02:36.30]Aimin' guns in all my baby pictures
[02:38.39]Beef with housing police, release scriptures that's maybe Hitler's
[02:40.93]Yet I'm the mild, money-gettin' style, rollin' foul
[02:43.32]The versatile, honey-stickin', wild, golden child
[02:46.20]Dwellin' in the Rotten Apple, you get tackled
[02:48.69]Or caught by the devil's lasso
[02:52.08]There's no days for broke days
[02:53.22]We sell it, smoke pays, while all the old folks pray
[02:55.66]Soakin' their sins in trays of holy water
[02:58.55]Odds against Nas are slaughter
[03:00.04]Thinkin' a word best describin' my life to name my daughter
[03:02.38]My strength, my son, the star will be my resurrection
[03:05.81]Born in correction, all the wrong *******t I did
[03:06.93]He'll lead a right direction
[03:08.23]How you livin'? Large, a broker charge, cards are mediocre
[03:10.72]You flippin' coke or playin' spit, spades, and strip poker?
[03:14.20]What you are soldier? I thought I told ya
[03:16.29]
[03:16.74]It's mine, it's mine (the world)
[03:21.71]The world, the world, up top
[03:25.24]It's your world
[03:27.84]It's mine, it's mine—whose world?
[03:30.82]The world is yours, the world is yours, uh
[03:37.20]Break it down
[03:41.73]Watch what you say
[03:44.27]Watch what you listen to
[03:46.76]I've been listening lately and a lot of these days ain't real
[03:52.64]If I may say so myself
[03:55.88]Alright, check it
[03:58.41]
[03:59.06]I'm the young city bandit, hold myself down single-handed
[04:01.75]For murder raps, I kick my thoughts alone, get remanded
[04:04.34]Born alone, die alone, no crew to keep my crown or throne
[04:06.87]I'm deep by sound alone, caved inside, 1,000 miles from home
[04:09.66]I need a new ***** for this black cloud to follow
[04:11.91]‘Cause while it's over me it's too dark to see tomorrow
[04:14.85]Tryin' to maintain, I flip, fill the clip to the tip
[04:17.04]Picturin' my peeps not eatin' can make my heartbeat skip
[04:19.87]And I'm amped up, they locked the champ up
[04:21.91]Remember that Mike Tyson back in the days?
[04:23.70]Stabbin' women like the Phantom
[04:26.24]The crew is lampin', Big Willie style
[04:27.79]Check the chip-toothed smile, plus I profile wild
[04:30.47]Stash loot in fly clothes, burnin' dollars to light my stoge
[04:33.47]Walk the blocks with a bop, checkin' dames
[04:35.71]Plus the games people play bust the problems of the world today
[04:38.05]
[04:40.83](It's yours) Oh, it's mine, it's mine—whose world?
[04:45.21]I said the world is yours, the world is yours
[04:48.30]Whose world? It's yours
[04:54.48]Whose world? I said the world is yours, the world is yours
[04:59.56]To my Queens' crew, the foundation
[05:02.97]The world is yours
[05:05.21]To my people in B-more
[05:07.41]The world is yours, the world is yours
[05:10.49]To my people in VA
[05:12.88]The world is yours, the world is yours
[05:15.92]And the nation capital, you know the world is yours
[05:20.11]The world is yours
[05:24.63]Oh, da-da-da da-da-da yeah
[05:29.90]Smooth it out like that, da-da-da,it's yours, da-da-da
[05:53.26]Thank you
