Here we are!)[Verse 2: Nas]I don't say I'm maintainin, that's a lame's language (word)Poor English, from a wise man I learned paitenceMe not distinguished, is like a fiendless QueensbridgeI don't say I'm grindin, 'cause everything I do is redefining'Cause when you know the streets to the scienceApply it very moderate, 'til your business'll watch you profitRap game, NBA to NFL, the kids'll yell, "Will I win? "The fella ends up in the cell - nonsense'Cause they can grow to be part of the CongressBe responsive, to these inner-city problemsBehind a tent with a chauffer, I rep for the cultureRep for the thugs and STILL see eye to eye with OprahI was a dreamer a wisher would hope forA better life for these kids while I sip on a MosaI plan yo, you should watch the black and white's hand, yoWho's the best? Next to me, they couldn't light a candleYep![Chorus: Marsha Ambrosious {Nas}]Before I use to dream I ruled the world{I use to have to imagine, now I can actually have it}So here I am, to rule the world, worldBut now you used to dream you ruled the world(Now, you, use, to, dream, you, ruled, the, world!){I use to dream} (I Ruled the world)So here we are, are, are, are (Arrrrreeeeeeee!)[Bridge: Marsha Ambrosious (Nas)]You can be who you wanna, say what you wanna (Marsha!)Tryna make it better, our sons and our daughters (Yeah!)Use your mind - make a changeYes, we can - see a brighter dayGon' be struggle, gon' be painBut no excuses to be madeThis is the time that we've been waiting foooooooooor![Verse 3: Nas]I done seen it all, I got it on with the weak and strongThere's no relief, it's like the beef keeps keepin onI can't count the amount I drew heaters on'Cause we was warrin in the Ps', it was VietnamNow I got you in arenas, watchin me performThe songs rappin 'bout them same beefs and the street I'm fromThankful, for the art form I'm eatin fromI never see no losses, I only see we won - yeah[Chorus: Marsha Ambrosious {Nas}]Before I use to dream I ruled the world{I use to have to imagine, now I can actually have it}So here I am, to rule the world, worldBut now you used to dream you ruled the world(Now, you, use, to, dream, you, ruled, the, world!){I use to dream} (I Ruled the world)So here we are, are, are, are (Here we are this day!)Before I use to dream I ruled the world{I use to have to imagine, now I can actually have it}So here I am, to rule the world, worldBut now you used to dream you ruled the world(Now, you, use, to, dream, you, ruled, the, world!){I use to dream} (Oh we come so far!)So here we are, are, are, are (Here we are this day!)
