Napoleon - As the World Turns lyrics

[Intro: 2Pac] As the world turns… As the world turns my n***as grow and grow and grow And get dough and roll and ride n***as die and mommas cry n***as got alibis and suicides and homicides And three strikes and yo' life and my life and times change And n***as fame, as the world turns… [Verse 1: 2Pac] Though I walk through the valley of Hell the shadow follows me. Wisdom hard to swallow tomorrow, expect apologies You probably panic, stranded in search of a better planet Realism hard to understand, we stand slanted And still stranded. Merciless thieves stole the best of me I pray to black Jesus to please take the rest of me And still, the best of us build and reach monetary gains Some of us k**, but still, most of us can change If we search deeper God bless the hustler, curse the first sleeper Enemies get beside me, flows go deep as Poseidon When we ride, plots keep all my enemies blinded Time will soon show, a thought can last for years Outshinin' your fake smiles, plastic tears Like last year, n***as stuck in the past, and it's clear Just some busta a** ba*tards allergic to cash this year Makaveli for the mob, M.O.B k**in' busters as my motherf**in' job, him or me Lyrically fatally driven, n***as reported missin' My competition dead or in prison, as the world turns… [Hook: Darryl 'Big D' Harper & (2Pac)] As the world keeps turnin' round and round It's gon' be goin' round as the world turns, and steady turnin' (Turns, turns, turns, turns and turns My n***as grow and grow and grow And gettin' dough and dough and dough From this state to that state From this cell to that cell, as the world turns) [Verse 2: Young Noble] As the world turn, burnin' paths, starin' through my rearview It's a war goin' on, and the President is here too I hear 2Pac sayin', "Watch 'em, they'll k** you." Sippin Thug Pa**ion, scrub actin' like he feel you Steady plottin', ready or not; Outlawz lost but not forgotten From Gittere to Compton, a spitter of the hotness Long time[?], since like six I ain't never been rich I need cream to buy Ellene a dream house She no longer fiend out y'all, Outlaw! [Verse 3: Napoleon] Another lonely n***a with a 12-gauge pump, with a 12-hour rush to run and get this money, f** these punks! Road rules, I swim in the dirt, I stay in some skirt I hit where it hurts, I ride or die for my turf I ride or die for Makaveli, the legendary war thug n***a Kadafi better unslug this n***a, Seike betta undrug this n***a Out of the buildin', we street children with no souls Our hearts gon' stay cold, the war gon' stay on We serve 'em, like 'Pac told us to, catch 'em wreck with the TEC Hit 'em in the neck and watch him die like he supposed to Napoleon: the front line soldier, front times over Rider for the mighty dollar, rather drunk than sober n***a talkin' thug walkin' all through yo' squad Y'all n***as scared by a dog, I got my 44 for y'all It's like a hot-heated day, homie Warfare, don't play, homie, better be prepared Then try to duck away from these strays, homie Worlds turn, things burn, all in one shot. Rest in peace to the fallen soldiers, all that we got, as the world turns… [Hook: Darryl 'Big D' Harper & (2Pac)] As the world keeps turnin' round and round (And my n***as roll and ride, hahaha) It's gon' be goin' round as the world turns… and steady turnin' (n***as gettin' swoll out, and it don't stop and it don't quit That real sh**!) (real sh**) As the world keeps turnin' round and round (How many you n***as try for this? ) It's gon' be goin' round as the world turns (as the world turns) (Murderin' methods.. haha, OUTLAW!) [Verse 4: E.D.I. Amin] Only haters caught feelings when my homie caught millions And acquired the desired status of boss livin' We cross driven, cornered into a life that's hellish Payin' our dues with bloodshed, ain't sh** y'all could tell us Fellas – mount up, it's time for battle, it's on now Two worlds collidin', armies ridin', soldiers gone wild Sometimes I think my glory days was back in my youth I sought too for family, but I got it lost in these ounces Now, as the world turns court adjourns, I'm sentenced to burn The cost of my sins too much, nothin' left to earn [Verse 5: Kadafi] October 9th 1977 first day out my baby carriage Married my MAC-11 hit the block playin' Only five years up in this b**h, papa runnin' from the feds Puttin' peanut bu*ter on the walls to hide his prints Me on my own, not yet grown, but only man of the home To protect my zone in these streets I roam Dough on d-low, downin' straight shots of Cristal Brothers 100 dollar snot box on cee-lo, f** eighth I need a kilo, got a plot, move my block down state Got the drop on the spot, movin' pounds of weight f** my fate and lots of loot to burn, a hustler's yearn For this dirty money earned as this crooked world turns [Overlapped Hook: Darryl 'Big D' Harper] As the world keeps turnin' round and round It's gon' be goin' round as the world turns… and steady turnin' As the world keeps turnin' round and round It's gon' be goin' round as the world turns… As the world keeps turnin' round and round It's gon' be goin' round as the world turns... As the world keeps turnin' round and round It's gon' be goin' round as the world turns… and steady turnin' As the world keeps turnin' round and round As the world keeps turnin' round and round As the world keeps turnin' round and round [Collision: 2Pac & Napolean] Hahaha… as the world turns… And turns and turns and turns… haha. This for the soldiers out there involved in the everyday struggle Hopin' to bubble, keep on hustlin', as the world turns Money come and go, hoes come and go, foes come and go, friends come and go… my soldiers stay eternal Outlaw Immortalz, dedicated I send this to black Jesus, only he can feed us When you need us, as the world turns Throw this sh** in the deck, hahah n***as gettin chin checked From the East to the West, best to wear a vest n***a we ain't the ones to test, f** you! As the world turns… Outlaw ridahs, Mutah right beside us Camillion, wanna make a million Haha legit, as the world turns, haha… burn, baby, burn (A lot of n***as get burned as the world turns A lot of n***as gettin' burned as the world turns Gettin' burned as the world turns)
