Rakim - Waiting For The World To End Lyrics
[rakim]Yeah, its the God rakimWord up, Im blazin this out to all my comradesYanamean? from the slums of new york, to the gutters all over the worldThis is for yall....Through my travels I try to take righteous stepsBecause right or left could mean life or deathNo matter how trife it get, my sights is setBut its twice the threat when the ? nights is death?My mental windows refuse to close, they get exposedTo the neighborhood info where the poison wind blowsA deadly plague spreadin negativity, viciouslyUnto every city be in ghetto miseryDont let it get to me, the writer be left to dieBut it get mesmerize if it catch your eyeShines enormous, from pure revered kools and garmentsBut its torment, jealousy drug wars or warringTallying, slowly turnin into barbariansMore scary when the whole boulevards carryinLivin in the world of sin, my ghetto girls and menWaiting for the world to end[chorus] 2xTryin to paint a perfect picture and excelIn case you didnt knowNever movin backwards [rakim]Complicated [rakim]Know what I mean? [rakim]I see destruc-tion, even little kids trust noneThey bust guns, thats what they get a rush fromWhen I see em, we build and have a real discussionYo ra, whats the jewel of the day? what up, sonYou got ambition? shorty said, man listenI got demands for livin, cant stand divisionMake grands on my mission, till everything glistenWomen in the expedition, no plans for prisonIn a vision the city get, 2 milleni gSittin in my msc sippin hennesyGettin high, and watch life pass me bySo I asked him why, wit a fast replyHe said Im livin just to die without any feelingsSo I wait here for my maker till its time to goWit this dime I knowWit all of her girls and all of my mensWaitin for the world to endChorus 2xShorty was taught to keep his head to the sky, and never cryBut the streets left him to die, now its death in his eyeLivin a sin of hitmen, a sinister grinFrom be-ginning to end, in it to winEvil rebels, doin what we doin in the ghettoThinkin if we was thorough we can deceive the devilYou cant win, your life be end, try againShorty said, why we born again to die again?Thats what I said when I realized I had a giftTo uplift and be one of allahs advocatesTeach the youth and speak the truthShow em what peace can do when ? ill? reach for youAnd my reward wont be jewels or cheese, its even betterI can be one of the greatest mcs everIf I tell em they intelligent women and great menAnd live, stop waitin for the world to endChorus 2xIm ragin, rippin up the stage anDont it sound amazin, know what I mean?
