Rule Rmx Lyrics - Nas

[talking] 

Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, Nas, uh, yo, yo 

Life, they wonder, can they take me under? 

Nah, never that, nah, yo, yo 

I come from the housin tenement buildings 

Unlimited killings, menaces marked for death 

Better known as the projects where junkies and rock heads dwell 

Though I owe to it my success 

With survival of the fittest, everyday is a chal' 

I would think I'm a part of U.S.A. and be proud 

Confronted with racism, started to feel foreign 

Like, the darker you are the realer your problems 

I reached for the stars but I just kept slippin 

On this life mission, never know what's next 

Ancient kings from Egypt, up to Julius Cezar 

Had a piece of the globe, every continent 

Yo, there's Asia, Africa, Europe, France, Japan 

Pakistan, America, Afghanstan 

Yo, there's Protestants, Jews, Blacks, Arabics 

Call a truce, world peace, stop actin like savages 

No war, we should take time and think 

The bombs and tanks makes mankind extinct 

But since the beginning of time it's been men with arms fightin 

Lost lives in the Towers and Pentagon, why then? 

Must it go on, we must stop the killin 

Tell me why we die, we all God's children

[Chorus - Amerie, Nas in background] 

All this hate can't last forever (uh, c'mon) 

It's time that we stand together (yeah, for the world) 

Everybody wants to rule the world (what, what, what, what, what, c'mon) 

World (peace), world (peace), world (peace), world 

Yo, there's brothers on the block, posted up like they own it 

That's they corner, from New York to California 

Got blocks locked down 

Like, "dog you safe whenever you with me, see this is my town" 

So the youngsters, grows in ghettos, goes to prison 

At an early age, already know it's against him 

So in order for him to survive, one day he must 

Open up his eyes to the set backs and rise 

'Cause, everybody wants a shot, in this land of opportunity 

Look at what this country's got 

There shouldn't be nobody homeless 

How can the president fix other problems when he ain't fixed home yet 

The earth wasn't made for one man to rule alone 

To all colors increases, to home it belongs 

I want land, mansions, banks and gold 

The diamonds in Africa, oil in my control 

The world's natural resources, all its residuals 

But then comes foes, I have to gaurd it with missels 

And I become the most wanted 

But is it worth hearin a million people problems and followed by Secret Service 

I guess, attempts at my life with loaded barrels 

So move over Colin Powell or just throw in the towel, yo 

Photos 

[Chorus] 

Y'all know that's my style, to hit you at the right time 

No other compares to what Nas write down 

Tell you my dreams, show you my pain is yours 

You could get what you love, be a chain in cause 

You alive right now 

There's so many that's dead or locked up inside the beast, I'm a hot light now 

It's whatever man think of manifest to the real 

The plan is to wake up 'cause time reveals 

All this hate can't forever last 

All my ghetto heroes in Heaven, it's like you right here and never passed 

You just transcend, I know I'm gon' see you again 

Hopin I reach the world leaders and win 

Ain't nothin without struggle, listen up, it's critical 

We used to fear arms, now the weapons are chemical 

In Hip-Hop, the weapons are lyrical 

To be the best you challenge the best, then the blessings are spiritual 

Top of the world for the kid and unless 

Poppin any rapper's head off his shoulders no contest 

I know the Most High hear me, so fly you can't near me 

You scared of a mirror, my theory is that - knowledge is power 

To every projects and every street corner, we gotta get ours now 

[Chorus] 

(I1) 

itz a hy cryme society, roitz, peace, silently, quietly, privantly

[talking] 

Yo, niggas ain't forget shit, know what I'm sayin? 

Niggas ain't forget nothin man, 

The men, women and children killed by the police and shit 

Niggas ain't gon' forget that, you know what I mean? 

Yo, what this war just show me is like, whatever you want out of life 

Whatever you feel is rightfully yours, go out and take it 

Even if that means blood and death 

You know, that's what I was raised up on, that's what this country's about 

This is what my country is, and my country's a muthafucka
