The World Is Yours Lyrics

The World Is Yours lyrics

Chorus: Nas, Pete Rock

[PR] Whose world is this?
[Nas] The world is
yours, the world is yours
[PR] It's mine, it's mine, it's mine
Whose
world is this? "It's yours!"
It's mine, it's mine, it's mine
Whose world
is this?
[Nas] The world is yours, the world is yours
[PR] It's mine,
it's mine, it's mine
Whose world is this?

I sip the Dom P, watchin
Gandhi til I'm charged
Then writin in my book of rhymes, all the words pass
the margin
To hold the mic I'm throbbin, mechanical
movement
Understandable smooth shit that murderers move wit
The thief's
theme, play me at night, they won't act right
The fiend of hip-hop has got
me stuck like a crack pipe
The mind activation, react like I'm facin time
like
Perry Mason with pens I'm embracin
Wipe the sweat off my dome, spit
the phlegm on the streets
Suede Timb's on my feets, makes my cypher,
complete
Whether crusin in a six-cab, or Montero Jeep
I can't call it,
the beats make me fallin asleep
I keep fallin, but never fallin six feet
deep
I'm out for presidents to represent me (Say what?)
I'm out for
presidents to represent me (Say what?)
I'm out for dead presidents to
represent me

Chorus: Nas, Pete Rock

[PR] Whose world is
this?
[Nas] The world is yours, the world is yours
[PR] It's mine, it's
mine, it's mine
[PR] Whose world is this?
[Nas] The world is yours, the
world is yours
[PR] It's mine, it's mine, it's mine
Whose world is this?
"It's yours!"
It's mine, it's mine, it's mine
Whose world is
this?
[Nas] The world is yours, the world is yours
[PR] It's mine, it's
mine, it's mine
Whose world is this?

To my man Ill Will, God bless
your life "It's yours!"
To my peoples throughout Queens, God bless your
life
I trip we box up crazy bitches aimin guns in all my baby
pictures
Beef with housin police, release scriptures that's maybe
Hitler's
Yet I'm the mild, money gettin style, rollin foul
The versatile,
honey stickin wild, golden child
Dwellin in the Rotten Apple, you get
tackled
Or caught by the devil's lasso, shit is a hassle
There's no days,
for broke days, we sell it, smoke pays
While all the old folks pray, to
Je-sus' soakin they sins in trays
of holy water, odds against Nas are
slaughter
Thinkin a word best describin my life, to name my daughter
My
strength, my son, the star, will be my resurrection
Born in correction all
the wrong shit I did, he'll lead a right direction
How ya livin large, a
broker charge, cards are mediocre
You flippin coke or playin spit spades in
strip poker

"It's yours!"

Chorus: Nas, Pete Rock

[PR] It's
mine, it's mine, it's mine
[PR] Whose world is this?
[Nas] The world is
yours, the world is yours
[PR] It's mine, it's mine, it's mine
Whose
world is this? "It's yours!"
It's mine, it's mine, it's mine
Whose world
is this?
[Nas] Yo, the world is yours, the world is yours
[PR] It's mine,
it's mine, it's mine
Whose world is this? "It's yours!"
[PR] Break it
down

*Pete Rock cuts and scratches "It's yours!"*

I'm the young
city bandit, hold myself down singlehanded
For murder raps, I kick my
thoughts alone, get remanded
Born alone, die alone, no crew to keep my crown
or throne
I'm deep by sound alone, caved inside in a thousand miles from
home
I need a new nigga, for this black cloud to follow
Cause while it's
over me it's too dark to see tomorrow
Trying to maintain, I flip, fill the
clip to the tip
Picturin my peeps, now the income make my heartbeat
skip
And I'm amped up, they locked the champ up, even my brain's in
handcuffs
Headed for Indiana stabbin women like the Phantom
The crew is
lampin big Willie style
Check the chip toothed smile, plus I profile
wild
Stash through the flock wools, burnin dollars to light my stove
Walk
the blocks wit a bop, checkin Danes plus the games
people play, bust the
problems of the world today

"It's yours!"

Chorus: Nas, Pete
Rock

[PR] It's mine, it's mine, it's mine
[PR] Whose world is
this?
[Nas] The world is yours, the world is yours
[PR] It's mine, it's
mine, it's mine
Whose world is this? "It's yours!"
It's mine, it's mine,
it's mine
Whose world is this?
[Nas] Yeah... the world is yours, the
world is yours
[PR] It's mine, it's mine, it's mine
Whose world is this?
"It's yours!"
Break it down

Yea aight?
To everybody in Queens, the
foundation "It's yours!"
The world is yours
To everybody uptown, yo, the
world is yours "It's yours!"
The world is yours
To everybody in
Brooklyn
Y'all know the world is yours "It's yours!"
The world is
yours
Everbody in Mount Vernon, the world is yours "It's yours!"
Long
Island, the world is yours "It's yours!"
Staten Island, yea the world is
yours "It's yours!"
South Bronx, the world is yours "It's
yours!"
Aight

*Pete Rock keeps cuttin and scratchin "It's yours!" to
fade*
