World Go Round
Naughty By Nature Lyrics

Check it out. I heard this track right here and I kind of felt a lil' Somethin'. You know. It took my mind some place it ain't been.Search deep Into another world.
The singer is introducing the song and describing how it made him feel, taking him to a different world.

Oh how oh how come everytime we have problems they nix none Sending people to other plants when they still ain't fix this one
The singer questions why, instead of fixing problems on Earth, people are trying to establish life on other planets without addressing the issues plaguing our own planet.

Victims from a distance prections of affliction Some faction cause frictions fractions need fixinng Mixing making music man to make it work
The singer comments on the conflicts and issues plaguing society, and suggests that through the power of music, people can come together and work to fix these issues.

Some sticking shakin' bruisin' damn just ta brake a purse It's worse misguided some guttered locked on the block Cause the cops can't be trusted
The artist describes how some people are resorting to violence and crime to make money, and how others are trapped in poverty and cannot trust law enforcement to help them.

Busted trusted frustrated frustrations of no more patience Insides are cold and vacant check how we lay it
The artist expresses the anger and lack of patience felt by the oppressed and marginalized members of society who have been let down by previous promises of change and justice.

Why when we speak they try to stifle our breath Cock a rifle to chest Then ya have the party of your life at your death
The singer questions why those in power try to silence and suppress the voices of the oppressed, and how easily these voices can be silenced with violence.

Oh I wanna know I wanna know Oh why, oh why is it the good that have to go And they tell us that's just how this life goes So I look at the kids and wonder where their life might go
The singer is questioning why it always seems like the good die young, and how this reality affects the future of the younger generation.

Get high to tell ya low that's how its done on the bricks We all mad at the world when the world ain't done shit
The artist describes how people turn to drugs and other vices as a means of coping with their struggles in life, and how this can lead to a sense of anger towards the world around them.

Just the people in it and the scavengers who function Who destroy the earth then blame the earth for its malfunctions
The artist acknowledges how people are responsible for the issues affecting the planet, and how instead of addressing these problems, they blame the earth itself.

So much pain on the brain can't restrain Place the comma too much drama but I'll bleed to please my momma So I'm a strive to perfection leave pride in slum sections Keep wit my crew and make all due connections
The artist describes the emotional pain and struggles they face, but expresses their determination to succeed and make their mother proud by working hard, staying true to their roots, and forming connections with others.

Oh how the ways? Nowadays baby's coming from spitting out momma's nipple From the cradel to the killa leaving corspe and cripples
The singer laments the tragic reality of babies being born into a world of violence and death, where they may end up as victims or perpetrators themselves.

A Brooklyn boy dies shot by a cop for a play gun Our kids days are up even if they ain't stray ones
The artist highlights the issue of police brutality and how it tragically affects innocent children as well as those who may not have been perfect, but did not deserve to lose their lives.

When crews war and now streets get scarier cops hit blocks saying we'll Beat 'em Into freedom then we feel robbed like there's no God When we need him
The singer describes how gang violence leads to more fear and violence, and how the police only add to the problem by using force to control the situation. This causes people to feel helpless and abandoned by a higher power.

So we act accordingly cause we dont' see enjoyment The only line ofbusiness I'm offered is unemployment So we gots to get ours and ours gotta get it And it is what it be so see that I'm with this
The singer acknowledges that the current state of society offers little hope or enjoyment, and that for many, unemployment is the only option. Therefore, they believe in taking what they can get and looking out for themselves and their own.

Media haas us believin' they hype Don't pull out ya new shoes cause only the bad news is good news Farrakahn wants us to take the streets back time to take it Before our whole race is stripped naked
The singer comments on how the media sensationalizes negative events and how they must work towards reclaiming their power, as encouraged by Farrakhan, before they lose all dignity and hope.

But but but but but that's what makes the world go round The axis like a carouse
The artist acknowledges the harsh realities described in the song, but notes that this is what keeps the world turning and functioning like a carousel.
