As The World Turns Lyrics - Nia - Blackalicious

"Now, I thought I would talk about today 

For your consideration, as the world turns 

As the world turns, read in all these scriptures 

About the world, find out that the world does turn" 

As the world keeps spinning, we live these days 

Dollar bill done drove the whole world crazy 

While sittin' on the porch letting ganja blaze 

Never hesitate a moment to enhance my phrase 

Since I needed that escape I take my pull 

Seen the thugs on the corner trying to act all cool 

Pretty much out of character 

I look right through, their transparent exterior 

You in my book gettin' written and I'm the derriere 

Thought you was peepin' me but I was aware of ya 

You peep my ill expressions, how I just glare about 

Trying to trace my inner world and my whereabouts 

Well, try on, try on 

I'm watchin' everythin' that's going down 

And it ain't nothin' that I ain't been around 

The same ghetto but a different town 

Well, I remember growin' up in the PAC 

It was a whole lot of love in my family 

I had clothes on my back and shoes on my feet 

Times we didn't have a lot but that was fine with me 

In good times and even bad times 

Whether rainy, grey sky or the sunshine 

Life was so much simpler, I didn't realise it then 

But time has definitely made me a wiser man 

The world keeps turnin' round 

And time just keeps on movin' 

The world keeps turnin' round 

And time just keeps on movin' 

Sunday mornin' in the church just singin' a song 

Mama gave much praise 'cos her soul was strong 

When I was young I used to do lots of thangs was wrong 

I never thought about till one day she was gone 

Now, my daddy passed on about a year before 

Reminiscin' as I glance at the fishin' pole 

But these things gotta happen so we all can grow 

And now they spirits much freer than they was befo' 

So fly on, fly on, fly on, fly on, fly on, fly on, fly on 

Fly on, fly on, fly on, fly on 

'Cos there's angels in the midst 

And they're guidin' and watchin' me every day 

And even though at times I let it get to me 

Just a little and I go astray 

We keep marchin' on and on 

Young militants will watch and now we're growin' 

With kids of their own, as it all unfolds 

As the world keeps turnin' on, the world keeps turnin' on 

The world keeps turnin' round 

And time just keeps on movin' 

The world keeps turnin' round 

And time just keeps on movin' 

The world keeps turnin' round 

And time just keeps on movin' 

The world keeps turnin' round 

And time just keeps on movin' 

The world keeps turnin' round 

And time just keeps on movin' 

The world keeps turnin' round 

And time just keeps on movin' 

The world keeps turnin' round 

And time just keeps on movin' 

The world keeps turnin' round 

And time just keeps on movin'
