The World Is Yours (Explicit) - Nas

Lyrics by：N. Jones/P. Phillips

Composed by：N. Jones/P. Phillips

Pete Rock/Nas：

It's yours

Whose world is this

The world is yours the world is yours

It's mine it's mine it's mine whose world is this

It's yours

It's mine it's mine it's mine whose world is this

The world is yours the world is yours

It's mine it's mine it's mine whose world is this

Nas：

I sip the Dom P watchin' Gandhi 'til I'm charged then

Writin' in my book of rhymes all the words past the margin

To hold the mic I'm throbbin' mechanical movement

Understandable smooth s**t that murderers move with

The thief's theme play me at night they won't act right

The fiend of hip-hop has got me stuck like a crack pipe

The mind activation react like I'm facin'

Time like Pappy Mason with pens I'm embracin'

Wipe the sweat off my dome spit the phlegm on the streets

Suede Timbs on my feets makes my cipher complete

Whether cruisin' in a Sikh's cab or Montero Jeep

I can't call it the beats make me fallin' asleep

I keep fallin' but never fallin' six feet deep

I'm out for presidents to represent me

Say what

I'm out for presidents to represent me

Say what

I'm out for dead presidents to represent me

Pete Rock/Nas：

Whose world is this

The world is yours the world is yours

It's mine it's mine it's mine whose world is this

The world is yours the world is yours

It's mine it's mine it's mine whose world is this

It's yours

It's mine it's mine it's mine whose world is this

The world is yours the world is yours

It's mine it's mine it's mine whose world is this

Nas：

To my man Ill Will God bless your life

It's yours

To my peoples throughout Queens God bless your life

I trip we box up crazy b***hes aimin' guns in all my baby pictures

Beef with housing police release scriptures that's maybe Hitler's

Yet I'm the mild money-gettin' style rollin' foul

The versatile honey-stickin' wild golden child

Dwellin' in the Rotten Apple you get tackled

Or caught by the devil's lasso s**t is a hassle

There's no days for broke days when sellin' smoke pays

While all the old folks pray to Jesús soakin' they sins in trays

Of holy water odds against Nas is slaughter

Thinkin' a word best describin' my life to name my daughter

My strength my son the star will be my resurrection

Born in correction all the wrong s**t I did

He'll lead in right direction

How you livin'

Large or broke on charge cards and mediocre

You flippin' coke or playin' spit spades and strip poker

Pete Rock/Nas：

It's yours

It's mine it's mine it's mine whose world is this

The world is yours the world is yours

It's mine it's mine it's mine whose world is this

It's yours

It's mine it's mine it's mine whose world is this

Yo the world is yours the world is yours

It's mine it's mine it's mine whose world is this

It's yours

Break it down

It's yours it's yours

It's yours it's yours

Nas：

I'm the young city bandit hold myself down single-handed

For murder raps I kick my thoughts alone get remanded

Born alone die alone no crew to keep my crown or throne

I'm deep by sound alone caved inside 1000 miles from home

I need a new n***a for this black cloud to follow

'Cause while it's over me it's too dark to see tomorrow

Tryin' to maintain I flip fill the clip to the tip

Picturin' my peeps not eatin' can make my heartbeat skip

And I'm amped up they locked the champ up

Even my brain's in handcuffs

Headed for Indiana stabbin' women like the Phantom

The crew is lampin' Big Willie style

Check the chip-toothed smile plus I profile wild

Stash loot in fly clothes burnin' dollars to light my stoge

Walk the blocks with a bop

Checkin' dames plus the games people play

Bust the problems of the world today

Pete Rock/Nas：

It's yours

It's mine it's mine it's mine whose world is this

The world is yours the world is yours

It's mine it's mine it's mine whose world is this

It's yours

It's mine it's mine it's mine whose world is this

Yeah

The world is yours the world is yours

It's mine it's mine it's mine whose world is this

It's yours

Nas/Pete Rock：

Break it down

Yeah aight

To everybody in Queens the foundation

It's yours

The world is yours

To everybody uptown yo the world is yours

It's yours

The world is yours

To everybody in Brooklyn

Y'all know the world is yours
