Common - What A World lyrics

What do you see when look at me and I'm just standing there? S**t that make the world all work that's what in my blood And I won't stop until I drop, cause my life's just burning our So walk keep climbing won't look down until I reach the top What a world, what a world [4x] A little boy from Chicago had dreams to be a star And make a way and get some pay and drive a fancy car Though his mama used to say to him, “Aye boy just go school” But whether it was old or new, in school he broke the rules What do you see when look at me and I'm just standing there? S**t that make the world all work that's what in my blood And I won't stop until I drop, cause my life's just burning our So walk keep climbing won't look down until I reach the top What a world, what a world [4x] Now his whole life he told his boys, “Hey yall I'm going to rap” So when he got a rap contract, it wasn't no turning back Now his mama she would say to him. “You need to get get back in school” And all the trash that the peoples say, he was using it for fuel What do you see when look at me and I'm just standing there? S**t that make the world all work that's what in my blood And I won't stop until I drop, cause my life's just burning our So walk keep climbing won't look down until I reach the top What a world, what a world [4x] And the story goes on and on it goes on and on and on They say, “ Hey boy you rap real good, but ain't making no good songs” So he ‘d tell him self yo yo yo self you gotta do it the way you do And make this musing from your soul and make it fresh and new What do you see when look at me and I'm just standing there? S**t that make the world all work that's what in my blood And I won't stop until I drop, cause my life's just burning our So walk keep climbing won't look down until I reach the top What a world, what a world [4x] Then the fame it started to change, They say music just ain't the same Though he remained the song he is sang keep your drive stay in your lane Inch by inch people ccame the started to know his name and say you do your thang Now the whole whole world singing his song from Chicago a star it born What do you see when look at me and I'm just standing there? S**t that make the world all work that's what in my blood And I won't stop until I drop, cause my life's just burning our So walk keep climbing won't look down until I reach the top What a world, what a world [4x]
