THE WORLD
The Game feat. Nas Lyrics

Yeah, laced and Macy's, don't have it, a hatred addict
I have a love for designer clothes and if I can't find what I want, I get angry.

I need faces mad with frowns when I'm around, or I'm wasting fabric
I need people to look at me with jealousy, otherwise my expensive clothes are a waste of money.

I don't feel greater 'til my plush pieces 'cause you to suck your teeth
I only feel good about myself when I wear my expensive clothes and people stare at me in envy or disbelief.

So mean-mugging on my clean-thugging mean nothing
People who are jealous of me and try to look tough to intimidate me mean nothing to me.

Women dream I'm your husband
Women fantasize about being my wife because of my wealth and status.

I'm Alex Pushkin, the black poetry-writing Russian, ice disgusting
I am as talented and refined as Pushkin, but also have flashy jewelry that is considered vulgar.

I started bling, how could you question my direction
I popularized the trend of wearing flashy jewelry, so don't doubt my ability to lead in fashion and style.

Or my Tom Ford collection? Gangstas two-stepping
Don't question my taste in high-end fashion, even gangsters recognize my style and are impressed.

You hate me, should thank me, but lately
People who dislike me should actually be grateful because I contribute to deforestation by burning so much wood when smoking weed.

I am environmentally irresponsible because I consume a lot of natural resources without being mindful of the impact.

I'm a rare dude, I'm a wonder
I am special and unique in my own way, and therefore should be appreciated and celebrated.

Your best success is my worst blunder
My worst mistake is still better than your best achievement.

Y'all livin' trendy on pennies, I cop plenty Fendi
While others try to keep up with fashion trends on a budget, I have no problem buying plenty of expensive Fendi clothing and accessories.

Tell the gangstas to toast to the ballers
Encourage the tough guys to appreciate and acknowledge the successful and wealthy people.

And tell the ballers pour a glass for all us
Wealthy people should celebrate together and recognize each other's success by raising a glass.
