Rikio - World Peace lyrics

[Verse 1] Ayo, this kid in Australia said he idolized me If you don't know why then it's time to watch me A young papi with the confidence of Rocky in a boxing match Early mornings, practicing my rhymes, 13 rocking a stocking cap Skinny n***a, I told my reflection I'll never settle Said if I gain some weight then I would one day try to wrestle Wanted to play ball and be a UNLV rebel When I let my talent go to waste cause I couldn't keep up my grades What a shame Now I'm living out my second dream, grown into some sh** you've never seen Now I'm onto better things It just goes to show when you travel a lot and you be on the road We all striving to be comfortable and happy But in life we go the distance A major part in life is building the life you wanna live with I know we lack patience, but you gotta stay consistent Only you can slow you down, turn your dreams into commitments Making sense with a sentence, Golden Age and I'm vintage 1990 to now, what we doin', they did it You could be fooled in a minute I'm just tryna talk that sh** until I'm finished The lost soul that's protected by my religion I represent World Peace [Hook] Lately I've been feeling a certain way Peace signs in every picture that I take I represent World Peace Smoking weed until the feeling goes away Spreading love until I'm in and out my day I represent World Peace [Verse 2] I'm extremely excited, without it hidin' n***as see me smilin' But y'all n***as don't know the half of it I'm talking bout a kid that grew up without havin' sh** And sorted out a plan, and then turned into a man Y'all understand the fans, and how fans follow the artist But what if one man give em something other than trends? What you recommend, what you steppin' in? Who you follow, what you represent, n***a what set you in? Man we all started from the bottom Started with a problem, before I was ever crawlin' I was born into my miseries Came out with my hidden talents, now the rest is history Riding, but if you ain't providing, that don't mean sh** to me You could be the hardest n***a walkin' But the hardest n***as working is the bosses Keep it authentic, cause the image got you confused Anybody would tell you it's a lose lose n***a do you [Hook] [Verse 3] I just wanna give you something you can keep in mind Be strong, don't let nothing disturb yo peace of mind Read between the lines, teaching men to rhyme You can't change overnight, we all need some time Homie, don't act like I ain't out here on my ones and twos Yo fundamentals was rented, and it's a bunch of you Me, I been the same since my momma was buying lunchables Grew through some functions, respected cause I'm lovable Think good thoughts, speak good words Take good actions, yeah that's what the world deserves A man in power, that's gon' empower the people first And Howard College, they listen, came all the way from the dirt Agree to disagree, judge me cause I'd rather have them legalize A plant, then feed the people nicotine Sell the devil's juice, and they gon' support it by any means On they TV screens, n***a please I represent World Peace [Hook]
