lirik lagu sic (born legends) - if i ruled the world
[verse 1]
look, imagine black kings with no cases
ain’t n-body racist
they love to see our little brown faces
ain’t no black single mother situations
just fathers coming home to their kids cause they love ’em and want to raise ’em
weight. i’m about to take you in the matrix
where life is what you make it cause this life is too hard i can’t take it
our role in this world is complacent
i’m only in my 20s and they tell me that’s as far as i’m gone take it
but who are you to say that i won’t make it
who are you to say i should be lucky that i’m black and graduated?
stuck in amazement i ain’t dead on the pavement
love in hiphop or the government which tv show is your favorite?
tryna stay afloat watching out for the slave ship
y’all n-gg-s on the same sh-t, ducking the cops working a day shift
by the end of the day you still ain’t made sh-t
yo mama know you ain’t sh-t
you on the block that’s the new plantation.
[hook]
if i ruled the world
i’d free all my sons
black diamonds and pearls
if i ruled the world
still living for today in these last days of time
[verse 2]
verse 2, uh, but who you think gone save you?
we the brand new slaves they way we bring the whips and chains through
uh, ok my grandfather in pain too
he fought the cops in ’65, i’m walking in his same shoes
that’s two different generations with the same views
and all this stress and weight up on my back, feel like i can’t move
they got my mom confine to a block where she can’t move
she overworked and underpaid and stressing when her rent due
d-mn, i really try to help her out when i can too
but all this being broke every week is wearing me thin too
my oldest sister try to pitch in when she can too
man we still going through it so i can’t tell you what we been through
that’s why all in one motion i’m making 10 moves
wintertime around the corner and i’m still wearing summer shoes
but when you see the bigger picture you can change ya views look at channel 10, i get the blues, i just change the news
once again they got us on their looking like some fools
n-gg-s killing n-gg-s over fights that they afraid to lose
i really think these street n-gg-s need to change the rules
all i did was flip this hood sh-t and try to make it cool.
[hook]
if i ruled the world
i’d free all my sons
black diamonds and pearls
if i ruled the world
still living for today in these last days of time
[verse 3]
i just seen donald trump in yeezys’ skating with weezy
f-ck all that my president is black, word to jeezy
and f-ck the police, rip to brother eazy
i can’t turn my back on none of my blacks when they need me to just say nothing and sit in the dark seem to easy
so i took the wind behind my back and crack the ground beneath me
uh, i reach the point where your teachers can’t teach me
young alchemist roaming this earth freely, crack a smile when you see me
keep the positive flow on repeat
that’s why none of yo demons can defeat me
stay on point like a teepee
i’ll make stevie wonder want to see me
if this world was mine, he could watch tv; see a movie in 3d
my decisions wouldn’t be about me
we can’t leave it up to you, yo vision cloudy
imagine a world without me, a positive soul that speaks calmly
i be dancing with these angels all around me, i see danger all around me
ain’t a gangster but it’s gangsters all around me
who don’t care about your rules or your boundaries
everyday they try to drown me
i survived, off sh-r- where the found me
no thorns, just jewels when they crown me.
