THE WORLD
Ghostface/Raekwon Lyrics

Dressed in FILA, change in the beehive
I am wearing FILA clothing while stashing my money in a safe place

7:30 nigga slick coupe with him, see ma?
My friend is driving a cool car at 7:30 PM, do you see him?

I'm rich, my bitch, before and after, kept her well
I am wealthy and have taken care of my woman both before and after our relationship

Sit right there, enjoy the chapter
Take a seat and enjoy the present moment

Bounce, two ounces get burnt
Let's leave and smoke two ounces of weed

Thinkin' bread now, buy more lead, get the dread town
We are now focused on making money and buying more weed to take to the next town

Let's smoke on the furlough king
Let's smoke on the best weed available

Switch to Merlot, I know them niggas is bird, they swerve dope
Let's drink wine and stay away from the guys who sell bad drugs

Nobody gettin' it, whores is wicked with it
No one is making money and prostitutes are winning

Little kids growin' up fast, teens is wickeded
Kids are growing up too quickly and teenagers are becoming corrupted

No jobs, no checks
There are no job opportunities or paychecks

It's like rockin' an Olex
It's like wearing a fake Rolex watch

Rolex, her father is Cotex
A girl wears a Rolex watch that belongs to her father

Mother is so vexed, brothers is on ex
Her mother is angry and her brothers are on drugs

Niggas is slummin' it, I'd rather see no necks
People are living in poverty and I do not want to associate with them

Dumb niggas, this the decade of bum niggas
People are foolish and this is the decade of poverty

It won't work, no matter how much bread you jerk
Your plans will not succeed, no matter how much money you have

Inhale it
Take a deep breath

Weed so loud, all my neighbors say they hear it
The smell of our strong weed has gotten so strong that even the neighbors can smell it

Roll up the strong, inhale it
Roll up the strong weed and smoke it

I'm usually in the lawsuits frontin'
I am often involved in legal battles

Comin' out Bank of America, big knot on me, I'm comfy
I am coming from the Bank of America with a lot of cash and I feel comfortable

Niggas with coins beat the point
People with a lot of money miss the main idea

And we want appointments, yo nigga, get some ointment
We want to make appointments with people, so hurry up and make it happen

Stop playin', start prayin', I just might start sprayin'
Stop acting tough and start praying because I might attack

Niggas is ass and all day with it
People are terrible and they keep displaying their bad behavior

No style with no pals, niggas is so foul
People have no friends and they are very disrespectful

It shows how I only fuck with real, them niggas know now
This shows that I only associate with genuine people, and everyone knows it now

I slow down, don't wanna catch a charge and go down
I am taking it slow because I do not want to get arrested and go to jail

I'm too large, drop a bag, use a marksman
I am too important to be carrying drugs, so someone else will handle it carefully

Pause, said, you don't want no parts of me, kid
Stop and listen; you do not want to get involved with me

I'm just shootin' you real rap, so go wash with it
I am telling you the truth, so go and deal with it

A legend with his hands up, suits is glammed up
I am a famous and respected person who dresses well

I'm just bowlin' for millions out in Japan, what
I am making money and living the high life in Japan

Plannin' somethin', niggas ride around wearin' somethin'
We are planning something, and people ride around revealing their intentions

Other than that or rap, I'd rather fade black
Other than music or rapping, I am ready to retire and fade into the background

These niggas is dead already, I use machetes to eat spaghetti
These people are already worthless; I would use a machete to eat my spaghetti

They really couldn't ride a mile on my Pirellis
They cannot handle the power and excellence of my car's tires

Bags so heavy the damns collapsed
My bags are so heavy that they have collapsed the damn's structure

Conversate about me, that's a chain reaction
Talking about me will start a chain reaction of gossip and speculation

Pressure to press in past aggression
People feel pressured to maintain their past aggressive behavior

Hope your body guard got pain protection
I hope your bodyguard is ready to withstand pain if things get violent

One in the chamber, middle finger, no fornicate
I have a loaded gun and I am angry and frustrated

So many bullets in the clip, it's 'bout to suffocate
There are so many bullets in the gun's magazine that it is about to jam

My uncle was late, my aunt ain't show up
My uncle was late and my aunt did not show up for the event

How you gon' tell an old man to grow up
How can you tell an elderly man to act more mature?

It's like comparin' Earl to throw up
It is an insult to compare Earl, a respected person, to vomit

Same frame of mind but a different poster
We have the same mindset but different ways of expressing it

I'm 'posed to be what I wanna be
I have the freedom to be who I want to be

Dream so big for the world to see
I have big dreams that the world will see

First class, fruits and tea
I am traveling in luxury with first-class tickets and upscale refreshments

And usually the only black man is me
I am often the only black man in my high-end surroundings
