Gain the World

Lyrics

[Intro: G1] They say, they say, they say They say, they say, they say They say, they say, they say They say, they say, they say They say [Chorus: G1 + Bob Marley] They say, "don't worry 'bout nothing" I say, "gotta worry about something" You may fuck around, go hungry If you ain't gettin' this money, just don't Don't gain the world and lose your soul Just don't Don't gain the world and lose your soul [Verse 1: G1] Ride around, we get it Ride around, get netted By the long arm of that law That can kill you, get away with it Even if you mindin' your business Makin' sure the feds ain't listening Any words that you mention can land yo' ass in prison That's that Brave New World we live in You good until you go and question Why the hoods in this condition Now you should pay close attention Money ain't a thing but a chicken wing Come and go like a boomerang Are you a boss or are you a slave? Gettin' paid, but what have we gained? I'm worried 'bout me, but I'm worried 'bout you 'Cause I can't succeed if you don't do, too One is the loneliest number Have it all but won't have slumber I sleep with one eye open 'cause you boastin' While so many filled with hunger turn to hatred 'Cause you make shit in the matrix [Chorus: G1 + Bob Marley] They say, "don't worry 'bout nothing" I say, "gotta worry about something" You may fuck around, go hungry If you ain't gettin' this money, just don't Don't gain the world and lose your soul Just don't Don't gain the world and lose your soul [Verse 2: RodStarz] I gotta be the one to stand up for this The view is different when you in the forest Livin' morbid moments and the police rollin' All alone and the rain is pourin' The language foreign, the people cold The food is warm on a lonely road Trees are good, put you in the zone Doin' that work, different timezone Beautiful island, beautiful people Beautiful view with the eye of an eagle Call me "illegal" but you just arrived I make music to love and survive But to my surprise, they want my demise Work too much, I'm too damn fly We have the blues, but we never cry We just deliver the flow from the Chia [?] Flow on the beat, B to the X This is the way that the ghetto express It's all I got, nothing left Nothing less, what you expect? Raised by the Left, so I give it my best With every breath, with every beat that's in my chest Say life like a game of chess I'm just tryna figure out what piece to move next Holdin' the text, readin' the book You holdin' a tec, you buildin' with crooks, they pay yo checks I build the hood while I earn my respect [Bridge] The whole thing was built on respect And kids, the whole thing was based on kids And kids haven't got it back All our splurging, cannons, the rims, and everything else is a slap - This is giving kids a false image of hip-hop [Chorus: G1 + Bob Marley] They say, "don't worry 'bout nothing" I say, "gotta worry about something" You may fuck around, go hungry If you ain't gettin' this money, just don't Don't gain the world and lose your soul Just don't Don't gain the world and lose your soul
