Blackalicious As The World Turns
"Now, I thought I would talk about today For your consideration, as the world turns As the world turns, you read in all these scriptures About the world, find out that the world does turn!" As the world keeps spinning, we live these days Dollar bill done drove the whole world crazy While sitting on the porch letting ganja blaze Never hesitate a moment to enhance my phrase Since I needed that escape I take my pull Seen the thugs on the corner trying to act all cool Pretty much out of character I look right through, their transparent exterior You in my book getting written and I'm the derriere Thought you was peeping me but I was aware of ya You peep my ill expressions, how I just glare about Trying to trace my inner world and my whereabouts Well try on, try on I'm watching everything that's going down And it ain't nothing that I ain't been around The same ghetto but a different town Weeell, I remember growing up in the P-a-c It was a whole lot of love in my family I had clothes on my back and shoes on my feet Times we didn't have a lot but that was fine with me In good times and even bad times Whether rainy, grey sky or the sunshine Life was so much simpler, I didn't realise it then But time has definitely made me a wiser man [Chorus 2x: Erinn Anova] The world keeps turning round And time just keeps on moving Sunday morning in the church just singing a song Mama gave much praise cause her soul was strong When I was young I used to do lots of thangs was wrong I never thought about till one day she was gone Now my daddy passed on about a year before Reminiscing as I glance at the fishing pole But these things gotta happen so we all can grow And now they spirits much freer than they was befo' So fly on, fly on, fly on, fly on, fly on, fly on, fly on Cause there's angels in the midst And they're guiding and watching me every day And even though at times I let it get to me Just a little and I go astray We keep marching on and on Young militants will watch and now we're growing With kids of their own, as it all unfolds As the world keeps turning on, the world keeps turning on [Chorus 4x] This one goes out to family, y'all come first G-A-B, Chief Xcel, Blackalicious, out
