Nas - Rule The World (I Came From The City) lyrics

[Intro: Michael Kiwaunuka] Do I want to rule the world? Or will it conquer me? Do I (?) Or will it turn to me? Do I lose my mind? Cause it's been wandering Will they ever let me out? I've been wondering [Bridge: Nas] I came from the city, yeah I came from the city, yeah I came from the city, yeah [Verse: Nas] I came from the city, yeah Got my name from the city, where? The most dangerous city, let's take a trip back Back in the time 1977, it was maximum crime The president neglected us, him and 6 masterminds Six powerful men put New York through some drastic times The rich and selfish ones feed off the welfare ones And which borough suffered the worst? Hmm where I'm from The Bronx We had to rumble with rivals on the rubble While buildings around us would crumble I dream right but it seem like nothing find me be trouble I see the light, it's right there at the end of the tunnel Had to find my rope to pull me up Cause I needed some kind of hope to fill me up Till I met one guy, took 'em under the wing I coulda died if this man ain't intervene He was an orphan, my savior Free spirited, no man braver He was honored and gifted, his name was Shaolin Fantastic The lady k**in' romantic, can't forget the day we met And this story be canceled but yo my life began last year Soph*more High School, that summer I saw her, said to myself She'll be my wife soon [Outro: Michael Kiwanuka] Take me out of my self (?) Help me lose control Show me love, show me happiness I can't do this on my own Take me out of my self (?) Help me lose control Show me love, show me happiness I can't do this on my own
