nas - if i ruled the world
People dont know my struggle
they think they know me,
its the truth behind the wall thats the key
whats an appearance, but to the eye
thats the reason for this world's demise
i ask for some god to show a sign
just to know im not dreaming, and this still is life
but still for so many years no one has come
sitting, waiting, but i am still alone
hes never coming, my advice go home
hope will never give salvation
hope will yield your own detrioration
i dont know the reason, but im listening
its neither here no there, but its glistening
I know the reason wont be clear
we're all sitting like headlights on a deer
but we have to get out and find the answer
Hell it could be in the
amazon like the cure for cancer
we must search for just a clue
Its in us all, yes, me and you
realize Life isnt about money or fame
its about taking it to the name
respect is what u want dont want no cash
whats the point for it other than the task
cuz when you die, money is nothing
the goal should not be it, but something
something is what i want, but i dont know
it aint in God, the AK or the 6-4
so if you think making cash is the goal
The devil might have just bought your soul
i want to help and live and learn
so i can give the favor in return
so listen to your teachers and turn of your TV
Knowledge is the power not the greed
We all must search, people of all creeds
I ask you, yes you, to plant the first seeds
