Have you ever had the feelin' that you was bein' had? |
|
Don't that shit there make you mad? They treat you like a slave |
|
Put chains all on your soul and put whips up on your back |
|
They be lyin' through they teeth, hope you slip up off your path |
|
I don't switch up, I just laugh, put my kicks up on they desk |
|
Unaffected by they threats, then get busy on they ass |
|
See, that how that Chi-town made me, that's how my daddy raised me |
|
That glitterin' may not be gold, don't let nobody play me |
|
If you are my homeboy, you'll never have to pay me |
|
Go'n and put your hands up, when times is hard, you stand up |
|
L-u-p the man, cuz, the brand that the fans trust |
|
So even if they ban us, they'll never slow my plans up |
|
All right, already |
|
The show goes on |

|
One in the air for the people ain't here |
|
Two in the air for the father that's there |
|
Three in the air for the kids in the ghetto |
|
Four for the kids that don't wanna be there |
|
None for the niggas tryna hold them back |
|
Five in the air for the teachers not scared |
|
To tell those kids that's livin' in the ghetto |
|
That the niggas holdin' back that the world is theirs |
|
Yeah, the world is yours, I was once that little boy |
|
Terrified of the world, now I'm on a world tour |
|
I will give up everything, even start a world war |
|
For these ghetto girls and boys I'm rappin' 'round the world for |
|
Africa to New York, Haiti, then I detour |
|
Oakland out to Auckland, Gaza Strip to Detroit |
|
Say hip-hop only destroy, tell 'em look at me, boy |
|
I hope your son don't have a gun and never be a d-boy |
|
All right, already |

So no matter what been through, no matter what you into |
|
No matter what you see when you look outside your window |
|
Brown grass or green grass, picket fence or barbed wire |
|
Never ever put them down, you just lift your arms higher |
|
Raise 'em 'til your arms tired, let 'em know you here |
|
That you struggling, survivin', that you gon' persevere |
|
Ain't nobody leavin', nobody goin' home |
|
Even if they turn the lights out, the show is goin' on |
|
All right, already |
|
The show goes on |
|
All night 'til the morning |
