As the Globe Turns

[Chorus] {X2} As the globe turns... Millionaires get rich and let their dough burn (dough burn) Homeless can't afford to watch a stove burn (stove burn) Children can go to school they still don't learn People act like they got no germs as the globe turns [Verse 1] I was brought into this world with my legs, my head, my dick, my arms And an umbillical cord that connected me to my moms Conceived as an Aries, dome slightly hairy Vision slightly blurry, face bright red like a cherry Doctors with surgical masks smackin me on my ass Stashed in a nursery behind a wall of glass Already missin the sound of mommy's heart bumpin Make me wanna jump out this crib and start somethin To replace the low tone, I heard for so long Heard it again in the car when we started to go home Comin from the speakers in the back, (what?), and made my clock stop The notes jumped out and danced on my head under my soft spot As I grew I learned this was called music I tried to make music on my grandfather's acoustic guitar A little star who still believed in Santa Pluckin the strings randomly thinkin I'm Santana With bad grammar and a Pacman score that's high Learned my first rhyme when I was like four or five Wrote my first rhyme at 11 and it sucked But I was still bustin flows before I learned to bust nuts - what the fuck [Chorus] {X2} [Verse 2] As the globe turns, all life is doin is fading But you're still growin when you're just a little kid playin My first crush I remember was in the fourth grade and The first president I remember is Ronald Reagan But fast forward to 91' where me and my friends be I started rippin' at talent shows and school assemblies Fingers trembling, stage-fright for 'bout a minute But once I got in it, all you saw was clappin and grinnin What happened I did it? Then I looked at one of my classmates A little girl depressed cause it was her last day A wise chick who was believed to be a psychic Who could read your mind just by touching both of your eyelids She walked up and just stared at me for a minute Scarin me a minute til I finally said "what is it?" And what happened next I remember it so clear What she said to me with a smile on her face from ear to ear She said "You're supernatural, you have super abilities That you won't discover til you're older," I said "You're kidding me" "No," then my face started to glow, "I gotta go... by the way, good show" [Chorus] {X2} [Verse 3] I used to have a teacher that kept his classroom cold as Alaska Cause he said it kept his students awake and workin faster So when I write a rap I take a pen out of the pack Wear my thinkin cap and put 70 on the thermostat Hopin my words'll attract people in all states So when I'm gone my name will live on like the greats Beethoven, Shakespeare, Edgar Allen, Bach Biggie Smalls, Big Pun, Big L and 2Pac Watch, I even freestyled in my bed When I'm dreamin and then I wake up and write what I just said In my fantasy, and make fantasy reality And even when I'm battling I hold it down like gravity So casually I plan to follow the yellow brick road Or the path in my dreams to see what the future holds Sometimes I dream of monsters like Starship Troopers Could this be a reflection of a past life or the future? Or could it be demons comin in my dreams to discourage me And go to war with me like Freddy Krueger, and murder me? Never. I got protection in these hard times I could've died when I flipped my Blazer four times But I stood up, without a scratch on me like "what happened?" No sign of blood gashes, either God loves rappers Or his script to the book of life is taking control And I'm playing a large role, as the globe turns [Vocals sample] Every man and every woman is a star Way up in the sky And if we can repel each other I tell you, our souls will never die
