Lyrics

[Chorus: Charles Bradley] This world goin' up in flames And nobody wanna take the blame Don't tell me how to live my life When you never felt the pain [Verse 1: Slim Thug] Don't judge the book by the cover The legacy is way more than Thugga Born hustler Out the Nawf, decided to get rich Ran towards hard work, now look at all this shit It's hard to get when everybody say, "You ain't shit" Same street as the bricks, how I'm gon' do this? Got pissed at bein' passed, looked at as last Had to get up on my cash, but I couldn't crash Old block got locked up, stabbed up, shot up I was back up at the cut, duckin', tryna chase a buck It sucks, 'cause you can't take your friends Some ain't made to win It's a difference in bein' a boss to floss and to swim So many in the Penn, movin' too fast Try to tell 'em, "Slow down," but men make they own path Stay G, but please, stay free It's too many babies and ladies without they family [Chorus: Charles Bradley] This world goin' up in flames And nobody wanna take the blame Don't tell me how to live my life When you never felt the pain [Interlude: 2Pac] 'Cause this word is such a...um...and when I say, "this world," I mean it. I don't mean it in an ideal sense. I mean...in the everyday, every little thing you do. It's such a "Gimme, gimme, gimme! Everybody, back off." You know, everybody is likely to be taught that from school, everywhere, big business. You wanna be successful? You wanna be like Trump? "Gimme, gimme, gimme!" "Push, push, push, push!" "Step, step, step!" "Crush, crush, crush!" That's how it all is... [Verse 2: Slim Thug] Never felt the pain of the streets Like how the hell my kids gon' eat? Can't sleep Paranoia with my future, stay bright I'm tryna live this lifestyle for life Can't depend on none, all depend on me Those who have more have more responsibilities We was raised to be G's, so fuck it, it's on me But when I need help, I be feelin' lonely Well, all my homies [Chorus: Charles Bradley] This world goin' up in flames And nobody wanna take the blame Don't tell me how to live my life When you never felt the pain World, goin' up in flames And nobody wanna take the blame Don't tell me how to live my life When you never felt the pain
