[Repeat x3] What a wonderful world, world, world, world Is this really a wonderful world, world, world? [Chorus] Out in the streets, streets When the thugs play out in the streets, street We blast that pistol You's a damn fool if you don't duck, duck, duck We do what we gotta do to survive, gotta stay alive Even if the nine millimeter has to whistle We can whistle while we work Now I remember mama told me not to be up on the block trying to push rocks She said, 'Cause that's the reason that your brother right nowin trouble with the cops' I said, 'No way not me, ma' But when she turned her back I stuffed the llello in my sock Hopped on my BMX, and I'm out Yeah, I got what the fiends need If you need some weed, I got it Got the powder and can rock it for ya (rock it for ya) My first employer was my bigger brother Til his a** got knocked and locked the f** up Stuck up in that system and I miss him But can't stop eating meals 'cause he in there And he should be happy I'm out so I can send him commissary As I reach my territory, I jump off my lowrider Yeah, that's my bike but you don't tell nobody Soon as I hit the corner the fiends was on a n***a Had to them bustas quit hatin' just 'cause my boulder's bigger First I bust a ten, then I bust a twenty sale Another fifty sale, sh** today the fiends are spending well Couple hours past and I got two rocks left And I need to get these off Walk up a few blocks where Them n***as think they ballin', but they smokin' man I tell 'em, I got them double up's And sell my dope to them If you don't tell nobody, I won't tell nobody Paid them n***as two for twenty I went home and I got pissy (pissy) Drunk as a skunk, roll me a blunt This is sh** we do everyday We can't front, can't front [Chorus] Well, well, well It was just, one of them days on the ave of Lincoln I'm just sittin' on the mail box watchin' and thinkin' I just bought all my rocks and the fiends is rushin' A little boy ran in the streets and his moms is fussin' The neighborhood watch, they called the police twice And my n***as always fight over a game of dice Everyday it's like a story, it's so much drama My girl just found out that I'm hittin' her mama And my n***as who went to college, they never keep in touch And my next door neighbor, he just stole the bread truck He also stole a taxi, would brag and wouldn't care He started pickin' up n***az and started chargin' 'em fare I guess the year was about 1981 I'd say I was about eight Standing on the corner, bullets rang out A little hoodster exposing too much n***as on my block play real robbers and cops Big sis shootin' at n***as through the mail box 'Cause motherf**kers knew it wasn't no males in the house Momma's at work, daddy who knows? I got tired of wearing my sister's clothes Young and sh**, already on a role Playin' look-out for the corner dope house Start earnin' some clout Got bigger, developed a figure Got me a n***a, and then my thang start learnin' the game Separating the real n***as from the lames The street light's 'bout to come on I gotta go home, ain't sh** changed [Chorus] Well, well, well, well Yo, I got needs and stuff, I had to be poppin' marry I hit her with the 'Is you is, or is you ain't my baby?' I know a Tom, know a Jerry, call 'em 'Su and Eve I be goin' down in history, not a cliff, like Heath Where beef comes from size, and give me 'em all baby And what, what, no motherf**in' gravy? (no gravy?) Y'all have made me, Taz-mania mad An I heard Damizza got him a little Arabian lad named Hodgi Doin' his thing like Sagi I'm tired of seein n***as do it Time to watch me Y'all remember the channel, the time and place Just get on the couch, a floor, and find a space Moms and pops worked all week to get the phatter place So your little a** had a TV on Saturday I know I took ya back, you ain't gotta thank 'Su Just remember, you rascals is little and I will spank you [Chorus] Well, well, well, well [Repeat x3] What a wonderful world, world, world, world Is this really a wonderful world, world, world?
