Queen Latifah - The World lyrics

The world oh, oh, oh the world [x2] I smoked pot up up again help The pain to go away, But it wouldn't go away, Just subsided through the haze Just drifted off into deeper thought So I broke my mind and searched my heart Finally whats blindin' me was just as clear as day. I figured out whats stressin' me, depressin' me Mummy that man was lancing me No.. Was only 5 years old I couldn't seem to tell a soul I didn't know how to let you and daddy know And I can't go on, like this That's the kinda thing that make ya slash your wrists But now that I realise this What happened to me I gotta fight this [Chorus] The devils are probably lyin' (runnin' round and lyin') Tryin' to move out Is he gonna take my crown? Gotta get up, stand up, fight for hours Every second of every minute of every hour I see your face Help me with what happens in the world. Lesson number one the world ain't fair It'll chew you up and it'll spit you out So put your faith in it if you dare. (The world) The world'll put you right on top Then snatch the bottom from under you And just watch and laugh as you drop Lesson number one the world ain't fair It'll chew you up and it'll spit you out So put your faith in it if you dare. (The world) Whooooah.. The world'll put you right on top Then snatch the bottom from under you And just watch and laugh as you drop Runnin' around the school as you tried committin' suicide He asked what would make a 14 year old boy wanna take his life? It'd be the fact, that he got a dad, who uses him, as a punchin' bag Beats him till he's blue and black and wont stop will he makes him cry. You kept it to your self and made excuses for the bruises, Took paink**er to k** the pain from a daddy who's abusive, He was telling you, you were useless Never heard the words "I love you" Made you feel like you were worthless He's tryin' to save the trouble and He can't go on, like this That's the type thing that made you slash you wrists Somebody shoulda told you that you're priceless Put your faith in god and we can fight this. [Chorus] The devils are probably lyin' (runnin' round and lyin') Tryin' to move out Is he gonna take my crown? Gotta get up, stand up, fight for hours Every second of every minute of every hour I see your face Help me with what happens in the world. Lesson number one the world ain't fair It'll chew you up and it'll spit you out So put your faith in it if you dare. (The world) The world'll put you right on top Then snatch the bottom from under you And just watch and laugh as you drop Lesson number one the world ain't fair It'll chew you up and it'll spit you out So put your faith in it if you dare. (The world) Whooooah.. The world'll put you right on top Then snatch the bottom from under you And just watch and laugh as you drop. (The world) That we livin' in (livin) Where we leave our babies in the back seat of cars (cars) Found my pa** is blind (blind) Desperate minds and emotional teenagers Lookin' for love in all the wrong places Well loves so right You so never wanna test it Who's your momma who your daddy? You, can't even tell. You're shinin' on chattin' See news at eleven. Were all walking through this place with Vain visions of heaven [Chorus] The devils are probably lyin' (runnin' round and lyin') Tryin' to move out Is he gonna take my crown? Gotta get up, stand up, fight for hours Every second of every minute of every hour I see your face Help me with what happens in the world.... (The world) [Repeat: x3] Lesson number one the world ain't fair It'll chew you up and it'll spit you out So put your faith in it if you dare. (The world) The world'll put you right on top Then snatch the bottom from under you And just watch and laugh as you drop (The world) Lesson number one the world ain't fair It'll chew you up and it'll spit you out So put your faith in it if you dare. (The world) Whooooah.. The world'll put you right on top Then snatch the bottom from under you And just watch and laugh as you drop (The world oh, oh, oh the world) (Oh the world) The world
