basically the concept is from Nas' if I ruled the World, which is one of my favorite songs, if not my favorite song.
Verse 1:
Check it, lyrical differences makin prowess through our minds we speak/
If I ruled the world, battles handled by lyrical elevations, not by any form of heat/
No casualties, involved the world would be at its peak/
Highest form of intelligence, whenever we speak/
No more pain and punishment as we look into our eyes/
The evil inside our planets destruction, witnessin it Die/
If I ruled the world, the world would end its problems/
Because looking at multiple leaders now, nobody can solve them/
The civilians get sent into the bloody pain of war/
Its on T.V and Text-books, i think Iv'e seen it all before/
The pain and problems in our life, the life that we live/
the life we all get married the life we had kids/
but without a decent leader we had no place to stand on/
not tryin to scare these young ones, but our planet would be gone/
Sample the problems, And how its all realistically complex/
How they don't think about children, havin unprotected sex/
Like lightning in the sky, while im flyin a kite, reality struck/
Because without no decent livin, we all relate to "life sucks"/
Chorus:Nas from the original version-
Cause you could have all the chips, be poor or rich
Still nobody want a nigga havin shit
If I ruled the world and everything in it, sky's the limit
I push a Q-45 Infinit
It wouldn't be no such thing as jealousies or B Felonies
Strictly living longevity to the destiny
I thought I'd never see but reality struck
Better find out before your time's out, what the fuck???
Verse 2:
You love to hear our stories,how most end up bloody/
Knowin we tryin to live, knowin we try to make money/
But to a typical suburban person, the bloody end is funny/
but ghetto life has alot of light, but nothing is sunny/
We still sling we rap, because a careers opened up/
How watching Rapper's Delight, i had this feel in my gut/
We try to find a bitch, plug her and then leave/
went up her raw, found out you have kids, and then a disease/
Really, we wouldn't want cops, catchin us with trees/
but deaths would still occur, thinkin about it realistically/
Theres a difference in times from '96, to 2003/
Not that long ago, before rap was about makin the green/
But then the power of rap came into my eyes/
a thoughtful 14 year old, it even catches me by surprise/
I wish i had the world and its power in my palm/
Destroy multiple weapons and firery deaths of napalm/
We would only live peacefully, realizin that God has plans/
For his people to inherit all lands/
Life has a purpose, we should live it to the fullest/
Cuz later on in life, we have children to influence/
Chorus: Lauryn Hill, Nas
If I ruled the world Imagine that
I'd free all my sons, I love em love em baby
Black diamonds and pearls Could it be, if you could
be mine, we'd both shine
If I ruled the world Still livin for today, in
these last days and times
And then we'll walk right up to the sun
Hand in hand
We'll walk right up to the sun
We won't land
We'll walk right up to the sun
Hand in hand
We'll walk right up to the sun
We won't land
