Nas - Rule(Featuring Amerie) - Explicit Album Version lyrics

Yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Nas, uh Yo, yo, life, they wonder Can they take me under? Nah, never that! Yo, yo, I come from the housing tenement buildings Unlimited k**ings, menaces marked for d**h Better known as the projects where junkies and rock heads dwell Though I owe to it my success Well, survival of the fittest every day as a child I would think I'm a part of USA and be proud Confronted with racism, started to feel foreign Like the darker you are the realer your problems I reached for the stars, but I just kept slipping On this life mission, never know what's next Ain't your king from Fiji, welcome Julius Caesar Had a piece of the globe, every continent There was Asia, Africa, Europe, France, Japan Pakistan, America, Afghanistan Yo there was Protestants, Jews, Blacks, Arabics Call a truce, world peace, stop acting like savages No war, we should take time and think The bombs and tanks makes mankind extinct Cut since the beginning of time, it's been man with arms fighting Lost lives in the towers and Pentagons Why then must it on, we must stop the k**ing Tell me why we die, we all God's children All this hate can't last forever It's time that we stand together Everybody wants to rule the world Come on (World, world, world) Peace (World, world, world) Peace (World, world, world) Peace (World, world, world) All those brothers on the block posted up like they own it That's Daytona from New York to California Got blocks locked down Like, dog, you safe whenever you with me See, this is my town So the youngstas, pros and ghettos goes to prison At a early age, already know it's against them So in order for him to survive one day He must open up his eyes to the set backs Cause everybody wants a shot in this land of opportunity Look at what this country's got There shouldn't be nobody homeless How can the President fix all the problems when he ain't fixed home yet The earth wasn't made for one man to rule alone To all colors and creeds is to whom it belongs I want land, mansions, banks and gold The diamonds in Africa, oil in my control The world's natural resources own its residuals But then comes foes, I have to guard it with missiles And I become the most wanted But is it worth hearing a million people problems and followed by secret service I guess attempts at my life are loaded barrels So move over Colin Powell, just throw in a towel, yo All this hate can't last forever It's time that we stand together Everybody wants to rule the world Come on (World, world, world) Peace (World, world, world) Peace (World, world, world) Peace (World, world, world) Y'all know that's my style and hit you at the right time No other compares to what Nas write down Tell you my dreams, show you my pain is yours You could get what you love, be a chain to cause You alive right now There's so many that dead or locked up inside the beast I'ma holler it now It's whatever man think'll manifest to be real The plan is to wake up cause time reveals All this hate can't forever last All my ghetto heroes in heaven, it's like you right here and never pa**ed You just transcend, I know I'm gonna see you again Hoping I'll reach the world leaders and win Ain't nothing without struggle, listen up, it's critical We used to fear arms, now the weapons are chemical In hip hop the weapons are lyrical To be the best, you challenge the best, and the blessing is spiritual Top of the world for the kid none less Popping any Rappers head off his shoulders, no contest I know the most high hear me, so far you can't hear me You scared of a mirror My theory is that knowledge is power To every projects and every street corner We gotta get out of this now All this hating lasts forever It's time that we stand together Everybody wants to rule the world
