Blackalicious - As The World Turns Lyrics
"Now, I thought I would talk about todayFor your consideration, as the world turnsAs the world turns, you read in all these scripturesAbout the world, find out that the world does turn!"As the world keeps spinning, we live these daysDollar bill done drove the whole world crazyWhile sitting on the porch letting ganja blazeNever hesitate a moment to enhance my phraseSince I needed that escape I take my pullSeen the thugs on the corner trying to act all coolPretty much out of characterI look right through, their transparent exteriorYou in my book getting written and I'm the derriereThought you was peeping me but I was aware of yaYou peep my ill expressions, how I just glare aboutTrying to trace my inner world and my whereaboutsWell try on, try onI'm watching everything that's going downAnd it ain't nothing that I ain't been aroundThe same ghetto but a different townWeeell, I remember growing up in the P-a-cIt was a whole lot of love in my familyI had clothes on my back and shoes on my feetTimes we didn't have a lot but that was fine with meIn good times and even bad timesWhether rainy, grey sky or the sunshineLife was so much simpler, I didn't realise it thenBut time has definitely made me a wiser man[Chorus 2x: Erinn Anova]The world keeps turning roundAnd time just keeps on movingSunday morning in the church just singing a songMama gave much praise cause her soul was strongWhen I was young I used to do lots of thangs was wrongI never thought about till one day she was goneNow my daddy passed on about a year beforeReminiscing as I glance at the fishing poleBut these things gotta happen so we all can grow
