Nas - The World lyrics

[Verse 1] Where we met, I had to give her her respect She was with her man, he took a drag from her cigarette He told her he'll be back He jumped in the meter cab, just took her cell and told her where to meet him at Now she was mad, And I was looking for my car She had some plastic bags, coming from the supermarket Cooking for his a**..how she gone get to the projects? She ain't got no cash, and she struggling while walking So I drive past, "Yo" I say "I ain't no stalker wit yo big ole a** Here's my help I'm tryna offer, I give you a lift" Who woulda knew it turn to this? Now we in the mix Baby moved up in my crib and she left my ex, damn we speedin ('Now girl, you mean the world to me' repeats) I'm a king, you the queen His and her 6's and diamond rings You don't have to look back at him Just get your bags packed and then.. A new life soon begins Like I told you when I'm in, I'm in [Verse 2] Baby girl had a son He was 3, yea I took him in Now she call him little me, I even look like him Naw, I mean he look like me, a couple shades darker She be calling him Blackie..that's cause his real father jet black So she treat him like it's a setback.. I don't respect that Now his pops calling collect at the new crib on the new number Now how he get that? See, now I knew we was a mismatch I'm laid back, you too used to getting pimp smacked I see where I went wrong at I just tried to bring out the queen in you.. But when you make a girl leave a man.. You never really know where she stand.. How you know she really yours? Somebody could do the same to you..!
