Brave New World

Lyrics

[Intro] Yo, lets get it going like this Foreign Exchange style Just some little something for y'all to vibe to A little something to bounce to, rock to, whatever You know, gotta talk about it Gotta let y'all know what's going on in my life Lotta people go questions Just wanted to let you know what's going on in the world around me This is how I see it, yo [Verse 1] We got single moms that can't afford to feed children World War III got planes flying into buildings Corrupt cops and robbers, thieves and politicians They just keeping taking as the world keeps spinning Just take a look around now A long way from your MTV cribs with the Bose speaker surround sound Get ready for countdown Just to get some benefits, my girl lied to them people down town It's funny how we start out cool, but get corroded By our quest for power and the people that behold it We up one minute then down before you know it With no preliminary warning or advanced notice I guess that's the reason why our eyes can't focus Can't afford to raise kids 'cause we gotta raise soldiers And satellites looking at my pad when I wrote this A Brave New World, y'all better know it Yo, y'all better know it [Chorus] Check it out One, two For you 'Cause it's a Brave New World Y'all better know it Check it out For you and yours 'Cause it's a Brave New World Y'all better know it Yo, y'all better know it [Verse 2] Been a lot of long days, lot of nights travelling Lot of niggas asking what record's 9th's sampling Lot of nights on stage, we forgetting the timing A lot of in-stores, sore throats, and poster signings A lot of cats after mines But that ain't even what keeps me motivated half the time I think of open mic nights when I would ask to rhyme When I had something to prove and an axe to grind Now we travel world wide, full throttle Scared to catch SARS so we cancelled all the shows in Toronto This rap shit ain't all about hoes and supermodels It's more about me making this money to pay my car note So our families can feed each other, these days My ends are perfect strangers who'll never meet each other Strong pounds and bear hugs when we greet each other 'Cause in this new world I know we gonna need each other like that [Chorus] Check it out Check it One, two For you 'Cause it's a Brave New World Y'all better know it Check it out For you and yours 'Cause it's a Brave New World Y'all better know it Yo, y'all better know it [Outro] Word up This is my life, yo
