Lyrics:
I'm making a statement of my own opinion
Just a brief little reminder to help myself remember
I no longer live in your dominion, no, no, no, no, no, no, ooh-ooh
You're just trifling, nothing more than a liability
Got up and laid all your possessions
Outside the kitchen window right now
Letting go, letting go ain't easy (ooh)
Oh, it's just exceedingly hurtful
'Cause somebody you used to know
Is flinging your world around
And they watch, as you're falling down, down, down
Falling down, baby
Evidently your words were merely lies
Reverberating in my ears
And the echo won't subside
There's a deep, deep loss of hope
And the anger burns in me
I hope you don't get no ideas 'bout reuniting, baby
'Cause that's the last thing I truly need
Your audacity is too much to be believed, so
Go to MiMi on your contacts, press delete
Letting go ain't easy
Oh, it's just exceedingly hurtful
'Cause somebody you used to know
Is flinging your world around
And they watch, as you're falling down, down
Down, down
Maybe letting go, baby letting go
Ain't easy, ain't easy
Baby letting go, baby letting go (whoa, whoa)
Ain't easy, ain't easy (no)
Baby letting go, it ain't easy (oh)
'Cause somebody you used to know
Is flinging your world around
And you know what?
In your arms in your arms
See cause you’ve never been the
Same as anyone else
Don’t think the same as anyone else
In your arms in your arms
See you’ll never conclude with anyone else
Don’t think the same as anyone else
If I had everything everything
I could change anything
If I changed anything i mean anything
I would change everything
Dark boy don’t you cry
There’s too much life left in those eyes
Don’t you let that facе go waterfall
Don’t you learn to love you scars and all
Dark boy don’t you diе
They’re just humans, let them lie
You just know your world and speak your truth
Let them come to you
For your love in your heart
See cause you’ve never been the
Same as anyone else
Don’t think the same as anyone else
This is your call, there are no wrongs
See you’ll never conclude with anyone else
Don’t think the same as anyone else
If I had everything everything
I could change anything
I could change anything
If I changed anything i mean anything
I would change everything (Oh yeah)
If I had everything everything
I could change anything
If I changed anything i mean anything
I would change everything (Oh yeah)
For your love in your heart
See cause you’ve never been the
Same as anyone else
Don’t think the same as anyone else
In your arms in your arms
See you’ll never conclude with anyone else
Don’t think the same as anyone else
If I had everything everything
I could change anything
If I changed anything i mean anything
I would change everything (Oh yeah)
Dark boy don’t you cry
There’s too much life left in those eyes
Don’t you let that face go waterfall
Don’t you learn to love you scars and all
Dark boy don’t you die
They’re just humans, let them lie
You just know your world and speak your truth
Let them come to you
For your love in your heart
See cause you’ve never been the
Same as anyone else
Don’t think the same as anyone else
This is your call, there are no wrongs
See you’ll never conclude with anyone else
Don’t think the same as anyone else
Never knowing if there's solid ground below
Or a hand to hold, or hell to pay
What do you say?
What do you say?
Don't know much about your life
And I don't know much about your world
Never knowing if there's solid ground below
Or a hand to hold, or hell to pay
What do you say?
What do you say?
Don't know much about your life
And I don't know much about your world
It's your world.
Never know, they'll never know your world
(it's above us)
Black fumes clouding up your mind
But they'll burn away in time
You got used, you got left behind
But I'm always on your side
I know your world's shaking, body and mind's breaking
Catch yourself, don't fail to the ground
Life is hard when you're losing, nothing easy's worth doing
Save yourself, don't throw in the towel
'Cause you gotta hold on
I know you're tired
Being so strong
But you don't know what you got 'til it's gone
So don't give up
Don't let go
('Cause I won't)
But you gotta hold on
Typhoons in your head all night
As thoughts crash and break, like waves
They'll disappear without a trace
So don't try to control what you can't escape
I know your world's shaking, body and mind's breaking
Catch yourself, don't fail to the ground
Life is hard when you're losing, nothing easy's worth doing
Save yourself, don't give up on me now
'Cause you gotta hold on
I know you're tired
Being so strong
But you don't know what you got 'til it's gone
So don't give up
Don't let go
('Cause I won't)
But you gotta hold on
I know you're tired
Being so strong
But you don't know what you got 'til it's gone
So don't give up
Don't let go
('Cause I won't)
But you gotta hold on
I know you're tired
(Being so strong)
You gotta hold on
But you don't know what you got 'til it's gone
So don't give up
Don't let go
('Cause I won't)
But you gotta hold on
I know you're tired
Being so strong
But you don't know what you got 'til it's gone
So don't give up
Don't let go
('Cause I won't)
But you gotta hold on
You're like a soldier in the fray, seeking shelter
From all the madness that you've seen raining down now.
I know things change, your world has slipped away.
I know things change, but you're living like a soldier
Who's caught in the fray.
Yeah, you could be the greatest
You can be the best
You can be the King Kong banging on your chest
You could beat the world
You could beat the war
You could talk to God, go banging on his door
You can throw your hands up
You can beat the clock
You can move a mountain
You can break rocks
You can be a master
Don't wait for luck
Dedicate yourself and you can find yourself
Standing in the hall of fame
And the world's gonna know your name
'Cause you burn with the brightest flame
And the world's gonna know your name
And you'll be on the walls of the hall of fame
You could go the distance
You could run the mile
You could walk straight through hell with a smile
You could be the hero
You could get the gold
Breaking all the records that thought, never could be broke
Do it for your people
Do it for your pride
How you ever gonna know if you never even try?
A motherless child, still I made her proud
I remain ten toes down, fuck bowin' to a crowd
From non-believer to achiever
Watch me change how they receive us
I bet today they'll believe us, when we say we can
Ain't about who's the man, but who's in position
I can't keep playin' this song if you niggas refuse to listen
You know the world is yours, you know the world is yours
I feel it comin' over me, it's nothin' like it used to be
Can feel it in my energy, you know the world is yours
You know the world is yours, you know the world is yours
It's nothin' like it used to be, I feel it comin' over me
They turned they back on me, dawg, they turned they back on me (it's somethin' in the energy)
They turned they back on me, damn, they turned they back on me (you know the world is yours)
Look how they doubted me, damn, look how they doubted me (you know the world is yours)
I came back on these niggas, thought they'd be proud of me
I was raised by real ones, real one I got to be
I was raised by real ones, real one I got to be
The world is yours, like Toni, reals dodgin' the phonies (it's somethin' in the energy)
Players duckin' the suckers, lions watchin' for snakes (you know the world is yours)
Fuck I look like drillin' some shit, I'm on my Deen
Focused on makin' music, my nigga
Dope Gang, Saint Tropez, now my pictures legit
I'm a bag by myself, not to mention my bitch (you know the world is yours)
We out of space like NASA need to sponsor our trip
Ain't in the draft, but you know I'm still the lottery pick, real shit
Lord, I done did my dirt, but I repent (can feel it in my energy)
Hundred on my wrist, for the times I wouldn't
Young, black, militant, hood raised me, not the givin' shit (you know the world is yours)
It wasn't in my plans, but I'm gettin' it (you know the world is yours)
Walkin' through the cell, leavin' Fendi prints
You pay her OnlyFans, but I give her dick
Hear what niggas sayin', but I'm livin' it
This shit like SoHo House, you need a membership
Photo like a Maybach, but the engine quick
Clutch sweatsuit, baby, I'm a max player (you know the world is yours)
Fifty-nine, sixty-one, but the strap dated (you know the world is yours)
My Detroit players
Hustle in our bloods, so the drugs could never faze us
The struggle, that's what made us
Never wanted much, I just wanted to ball
Now a nigga can't be touched if they do kill 'em all
You know the protocol I'm from the D, we ball, we fall
Bad bitches lined up, from wall to wall (from wall to wall)
You know the world is yours
It's nothin' like it used to be, I feel it comin' over me
They turned they back on me, dawg, they turned they back on me (it's somethin' in the energy)
They turned they back on me, damn, they turned they back on me (you know the world is yours)
Look how they doubted me, damn, look how they doubted me (you know the world is yours)
I came back on these niggas, thought they'd be proud of me
I was raised by real ones, real one I got to be (it's nothin' like it used to be)
I was raised by real ones, real one I got to be
It's somethin' in the energy, you know the world is yours
They turned they back on me, dawg, they turned they back on me
They turned they back on me, damn, they turned they back on me
Look how they doubted me, damn, look how they doubted me
I came back on these niggas, thought they'd be proud of me (you know the world is yours)
I was raised by real ones, real one I got to be (I feel it comin' over me)
I was raised by real ones, real one I got to be, look (it's nothin' like it used to be)
The world is yours, Nino, like Yaniqua said (can feel it in my energy)
That lil' short cut rockin', pretty freakin' red (you know the world is yours)
G Money was slippin', too busy gettin' geeked on meds (you know the world is yours)
They should be lookin' for the pimples on the cheeks instead (you know the world is yours)
This a new Jack city, hop out the Jeep on dreads (it's nothin' like it used to be)
Then it's rockabye baby, like Keisha said (I feel it comin' over me)
I don't know too many heavyweights who beat the feds (it's somethin' in the energy)
Only the real hustlers survive when the streets are dead (you know the world is yours)
And haters still be tryin' to switch off movies
I guess when you in the theaters, it might piss of Tubi (I guess)
I stay away from suckers, I ditch all goofies
Still comin' through clutch, in some Rich Paul newbies, yeah
Switch the product, no narcotics, bitch, I built the brand (I did)
Gave me nothin', made me somethin', bitch, I built the hand (I did)
Like I'm playin' tongue, shorty spread, crazy dunk (woah)
I hit the aunties and the nieces, yeah, don't play with Unc'
Life has been so wavy lately, got to stay in trunks (yeah)
We agin' like fine wine, Cabernet and Blanc (yeah)
When we link, it's like when Brady get to play with Grump (chips)
You tryin' to go play on them beaches or go play the Bronx?
I told you that some day
If you kept on being untrue
Somebody else would come along
And release me from you
You'll be glad to know now
Your fickle world
Can have its own way
For it finally happened
I've met her today
I used to think I just couldn't live
A day without you
In spite of the thousand doubts and tears
That you put me through
All at once I don't care as much for you
I'm sorry to say
For now there's another
I met her today
How I treasured each smile, each kiss
You gave to me now and then
Well, you needn't be kind to me now
Oh no, not ever again
Just when the last bit of pride in me was gone
Someone heard me pray
And sent me my angel
I met her today
I met her today
Talk me some sense talk me some sense
Put a song of love and laughter on your face
Talk me some sense talk me some sense
Cause the way you're talkin' now is a digrace
I've heard enough o' your talk about the world that is to be
You say it's sick and sinful and then any fool should see
You sing songs of agitation and usin' funny rhymes
The whole new trend and your preachin' friend is a great big waste of time
Talk me some sense talk me some sense
Just call me a illiterate or any other name
But no matter how you bug me up I'll tell you without shame
Don't know where your world is but it sounds quite a mess
But here on earth we waste our time on things like happiness
Talk me some sense talk me some sense
Don't go giving up
I know life's being tough on you
You got nothing left to lose play it smart
Don't go giving up
I know your world is burning down
But nothing is lost that can't be found
In your heart
Just go flying right through the flame
Survival is the name of the game
Yes, you can take the heat
Yes, you can take the heat
You can wake up to the beat
Yes, you can take the heat
Don't go giving up
This might be your lucky day
I see your payday on the way play it smart
Don't go giving up
Competition's getting hot
Remember every fight you fought
In your heart
Just get up and cut the cards again
Give the wheel a harder spin
Your love and your heart
See 'cause you've never been the same as anyone else
Don't think the same as everyone else
Your love and your heart
See you'll never conclude with anyone else
Don't think the same as everyone else
If I had everything, everything
I could change anything
If I changed anything, I mean anything
I would change everything, oh yeah
Dark boy, don't you cry
There's too much life left in those eyes
Don't you let that face go waterfall
Until they learn to love you, scars and all
Dark boy, don't you die
They're just human, let them lie
You just know your world and speak your truth
Let them come to you
For your love and your heart
See 'cause you've never been the same as anyone else
Don't think the same as everyone else
This is your call, there are no wrongs
See you'll never conclude with anyone else
Don't think the same as everyone else
If I had everything, everything
I could change anything, I could change anything
If I changed anything, I mean anything
I would change everything, oh yeah
When the media slings mud, we use it to build huts
Irrefutable facts, merciful, beautiful black
Beloved brother, you fail to embarrass him, harassin' him
To my life, your life pales in comparison
So go write whatever blog, messiness is not ever the god
Do what's necessary, I'm never worried
Listen vultures, I've been shackled by Western culture
You convinced most of my people to live off emotion
That's why we competitin'
Death by the chrome barrel, forgot the secrets
My killer be Gerald, bone marrow's the deepest
You can peep at the comments, but don't fall for that
We want freedom, I'm a scholar and almanac
People do anything to be involved in everything
Inclusion is a hell of a drug
Some people have everything they probably ever wanted in life
And never have enough
If I had everything, everything
I could change anything
If I changed anything, I mean anything
I would change everything, oh yeah
From the birth of a child, the world is foul
Excursions of a certain child
Should learn not to take nothin' personal
A parent hates to watch his baby's face
Takin' his first immunization shots, but this is great
The child's introduction to suffering and pain
Understands without words
Nothin' is explained or rushed to the brain
Lookin' up at his parents' face
Like, "I thought you would protect me from this scary place?"
Think of your fellow man, lend him a helping hand (come on)
Put a little love in your heart
You see, it's getting late, oh, please don't hesitate (come on)
Put a little love in your heart
I know the world will be a better place
And I know the world will be a better place, for you and for me
Just you wait and see
Another day goes by, and still the children cry (come on)
Put a little love in your heart
If you want the world to know, that you won't let hatred grow (come on)
Put a little love in your heart
And I know the world will be a better place
And I feel the world will be a better place for you and for me
Just you wait and see
And I know the world will be a better place
And I feel the world could be a better place for you and I know for me
Just you wait and see
Why don't you put a little love
Come on and put some, put somebody
Oh, what the world needs now
Just to reach out and touch somebody's hand
Try it, you got to try it
to me
I cannot climb to touch your spire
I'm getting higher and higher
Cut away, I know your world wants you around
The hardest thing in the world
It takes a million people
To build up a good reputation
But it takes one stupid fool
To destroy everything they done
The world knows your people as
The most violent in the world
The world knows your nation as
The most oppressive in the world
Take it upon yourself
To restore your nation's dignity
Yo ho ho ho ho ho ho
Teach the world
Teach them right
It takes a million lives
To get the respect you deserve
When people see your kind
Some of them would run a mile
The world knows your people as
A nation of crooks
Everyone around you should
Always keep their eyes opened
The world knows your nation as
A nation of drug lords
Everyone blames your people
For the destruction of the world
Take it upon yourself
To restore your nation's dignity
Ho ho ho ho ho ho
Teach the world
Teach them right
Teach the world
Teach them right
Teach the world
Teach them right
Every turn is a dead end road
The rain starts to fall and you're so lost out there
Really only one place I know
When your whole world falls to pieces
You don't know how to build it back
There's a red letter blueprint
Yeah, there's a red letter blueprint
There's a red letter blueprint in King James black
In King James black
You can cover your eyes
And hide behind walls
You've built around you
You can run for your life
Anytime there's a chance of
Someone breaking through
But sooner or later it comes to us all
And even the strongest must fall
[Chorus:]
When love calls your name
There's no saying no
You follow your heart wherever it goes
To the ends of the earth
For the rest of your days
Whatever it takes yeah you'll find a way
Through fire and rain
When love calls your name
Now I see a light
And it keeps getting brighter
And shows me the way
And it's there in your eyes
Pulling me closer everyday
After all of this time
The tables have turned
Yes, I'm finally ready to learn
[Chorus:]
You do what you must
You take it on faith
You take it on trust
You're out of control
And all that you know
Your world's not the same
When love calls your name
[Chorus:]
When love calls your name
Never knowing if there's solid ground below
Or hand to hold, or hell to pay
What do you say, what do you say?
Don't know much about your life
Don't know much about your world
Yeah, you could be the greatest
You can be the best
You can be the King Kong banging on your chest
You could beat the world
You could beat the war
You could talk to God, go banging on his door
You can throw your hands up
You can beat the clock
You can move a mountain
You can break rocks
You can be a master
Don't wait for luck
Dedicate yourself and you can find yourself
Standing in the hall of fame
And the world's gonna know your name
'Cause you burn with the brightest flame
And the world's gonna know your name
And you'll be on the walls of the hall of fame
You could go the distance
You could run the mile
You could walk straight through hell with a smile
You could be the hero
You could get the gold
Breaking all the records that thought, never could be broke
Do it for your people
Do it for your pride
How you ever gonna know if you never even try?
Think of your fellow man, lend him a helping hand (come on)
Put a little love in your heart
You see, it's getting late, oh, please don't hesitate (come on)
Put a little love in your heart
I know the world will be a better place
And I know the world will be a better place, for you and for me
Just you wait and see
Another day goes by, and still the children cry (come on)
Put a little love in your heart
If you want the world to know, that you won't let hatred grow (come on)
Put a little love in your heart
And I know the world will be a better place
And I feel the world will be a better place for you and for me
Just you wait and see
And I know the world will be a better place
And I feel the world could be a better place for you and I know for me
Just you wait and see
Why don't you put a little love
Come on and put some, put somebody
Oh, what the world needs now
Just to reach out and touch somebody's hand
Try it, you got to try it
If you didn't know your world's a pile of shit
Listen to a riddle that'll tickle every bit of it
Ha ha ha!
Ape shall not murder, ape wasn't so sure
Bad ape, you made a mistake
Annihilation in a cannibal war
Well, cultivation might have served you
Might have raised you up unscathed
If you had called that fucker by its name...
Hello darlin' happy birthday
I've decided not to give you a present this year
In fact I think it's about time I took some things away
I'd like to take away this suspicion that I know clouds your world at times
By giving you some faith to hold on to honey whenever your hand is not in mine
Happy birthday darlin' I've no presents, no fancy cake
But I hope I'll make you happy with everything I take
I'd like to take away some of your lonely moments, by spendin' more of mine with you
And I'd like to take away some of those so-so kisses
And replace them with ones that really say I love you
And I wanna take away the doubt you sometimes have about my love
By showin' more much more that I've shown lately
And then if someone said asked you what I've got you for your birthday
Well you can say, why, he didn't give me anything, but he sure took a lotta things away
Happy birthday darlin' I've no presents, no fancy cake
But I hope I'll make you happy with everything I take
Happy birthday darlin' I've no presents, no fancy cake
But I hope I'll make you happy with everything I take
Happy birthday darlin'
Do it for your country, do it for your name
'Cause there's gonna be a day, when you're
Standing in the Hall of Fame
And the world's gonna know your name
'Cause you burn with the brightest flame
And the world's gonna know your name
And you'll be on the walls of the Hall of Fame
On the walls of the Hall of Fame
Be students, be teachers
Be politicians, be preachers, yeah (yeah)
Be believers, be leaders
Be astronauts, be champions
Be truth seekers
Be students, be teachers
Be politicians, be preachers, yeah (yeah)
Be believers, be leaders
Be astronauts, be champions
Standing in the Hall of Fame
And the world's gonna know your name
'Cause you burn with the brightest flame
And the world's gonna know your name
And you'll be on the walls of the Hall of Fame
Yeah, you can be the greatest, you can be the best
You can be the King Kong bangin' on your chest
You can beat the world, you can win the war
You can talk to God, go bangin' on his door
You can throw your hands up, you can beat the clock
You can move a mountain, you can break rocks
Some will call it practice, some will call that luck
But either way your going to the history books
Standing in the Hall of Fame
