As The World Turns Lyrics - Still I Rise (with Outlawz) - 2pac

(2Pac) 

As the world turns. 

As the world turns my ni**az grow and grow and grow 

and get dough and roll and ride 

ni**az die and mommas cry 

ni**az got alibis and suicides and homicides 

and three strikes and yo' life and my life and times change 

And ni**az fame, as the world turns. 

Though I walk thru the valley of hell the shadow follows me 

Wisdom hard to swallow tomorrow expect apologies 

You probably panic, stranded in search of a better planet 

Realism hard to understand, we stand slanted 

and still stranded, merciless thieves stole the best of me 

I pray to black Jesus to please take the rest of me 

And still, the best of us build, and reach monetary gains 

Some of us kill, but still, most of us can change 

if we search deeper, god bless the hustler, curse the first sleeper 

Enemies get beside me, flows go deeper inside 

We we ride plots keep all my enemies blinded 

Time will soon show, a thought can last for years 

Outshinin them fakes smile plastic tears 

like last year, ni**az stuck in the past, and it's clear 

Just some busta a*s bastards allergic to cash this year 

Makaveli for the Mob, M-O-B 

Killin bustaz is my motherf**kin job, him or me 

Lyrically fatally driven, ni**az reported missin 

My competition dead or in prison, as the world turns...

As the world keeps turnin round and round 

It's gon' be goin round as the world turns. and steady turnin 

(Young Noble) 

As the world turn burnin paths, starin through my rearview 

It's a war goin on, and the President is in too 

I hear Tu-Pac sayin, "Watch em they'll kill you" 

Sippin Thug Pa*sion, scrub actin like he feel you 

Steady plottin, ready or not; Outlawz lost 

but not forgotten, from Gittere to Compton 

A spitter of the hotness, long timeness 

So like six I ain't never been rich 

I need cream, to buy Ellene a dream house 

She no longer fiend out y'all, Outlawww

(Napoleon) 

Another lonely ni**a with a 12-gage pump 

with a 12-hour rush to run and get this money, f**k these punks 

Road rules I swim in the dirt, I stay in some skirt 

I hit where it hurts, I ride or die for my turf 

I ride or die for Makaveli the legendary war thug ni**a 

Kadafi betta unslug this ni**a, Seike betta undrug this ni**a 

Out of the buildin we street children with no souls 

Our hearts gon' stay cold, the war gon' stay on 

We serve em, like Pac told us to, catch em wet with the tec 

Hit em in the neck and watch him die like he supposed to 

Napoleon the front line soldier, front times over 

Rider for the mightly dollar rather drunk or sober 

ni**a talkin thug walkin all through yo' squad 

Y'all ni**az scared by a dog, I got my fo'-fo' for y'all 

It's like a hot, heated day homie, warfare don't play homie 

Better be prepared than try to dunk away from these strays homie 

Worlds turn, thangs burn, all in one shot 

Rest in peace to the fallen soldiers, all that we got 

As the world turns. 

(Chorus: Darryl 'Big D' Harper, (Tupac - in background)) 

(And my ni**az roll and ride, hahaha 

ni**az gettin swoll out 

And it don't stop and it don't quit 

That real s**t! As the world turns. 

ni**az die for 

How many you ni**az try for this? As the world turns 

Murderin methods. haha OUTLAW!) 

As the world keeps turnin round and round 

It's gon' be goin round as the world turns. and steady turnin 

As the world keeps turnin round and round 

It's gon' be goin round as the world turns. 

(E.D.I. Amin) 

Only haters caught feelings, when my homie caught millions 

And acquired the desired status of boss livin 

We cross driven, cornered into a life that's hellish 

Payin our dues with bloodshed, ain't s**t y'all could tell us 

Fellas - mount up, it's time for battle, it's on now 

Two worlds collidin armies ridin soldiers, gone wild 

Sometimes I think my glory days was back in my youth 

I sought too for family, but I got it lost in these ounces 

Now as the world turns court adjourns, I'm sentenced to burn 

The cost of my sins too much, nuttin left to earn 

(Kadafi) 

October 9th 1977 first day out my baby carriage 

Married my Mack-11 hit the block playin 

Only five years up in this bi**h, poppa runnin from the Feds 

Puttin peanut butter on the walls to hide his prints 

Me on my own, not yet grown but only man of the home 

to protect my zone in these streets I roam 

Dough on d-low, downin straight shots of Cristal Brothers 

Hundred dollar snot box on cee-lo, f**k eighth 

I need a kilo, got a plot, move my block down state 

Got the drop on the spot, movin pounds of weight 

f**k my fate and lots of loot to burn, a hustler's yearn 

for this dirty money earned as this crooked world turns 

(Chorus: Darryl 'Big D' Harper repeats as Tupac speaks) 

(2Pac) 

Hahaha. as the world turns. 

and turns and turns and turns. haha 

This for the soldiers out there involved in the everyday struggle 

Hopin to bubble, keep on hustlin, as the world turns 

Money come and go, hoes come and go, foes come and go 

Friends come and go. my soldiers, stay eternal 

Outlaw Immortalz, dedicated 

I send this to black Jesus, only he can feed us 

When you need us, as the world turns 

Throw this s**t in the deck, hahah 

ni**az gettin chin checked 

From the East to the West best to wear a vest 

ni**a we ain't the ones to test, f**k you 

As the world turns 

Outlaw ridahs, Mutah right beside us 

Camillion, wanna make a million 

Haha legit, as the world turns. haha. 

Burn baby burn 

(Napoleon) 

A lot of ni**az get burned as the world turns 

A lot of ni**az gettin burned as the world turns. 

Gettin burned as the world turns
