It’s My World lyrics
by J Dilla
[Chorus]
If our worlds collide
(It's my world)
I hope you know that one of us gon' die
(It's my world)
It won't be me cus I was born to rise
(Yo, It's my world)
So when the war I hope you on my side
(It's my world, It's my world, It's my world)
[Scratching Chino from Sway and Tech's "The Anthem"]
Chino makes the world go round...
[Scratching Nas from "Hate me Now"]
The Illest...
Blame God he blew breath in my lungs...
Chino makes the world go round...
[Scratching Nas from "Hate me Now"]
The Illest...
Blame God he blew breath in my lungs...
[Verse 1]
Don't call it a comeback, I've been here for years
I'm like a record deal from Select ending anyone's career
But does anyone care or did anyone dare try prepare ya?
I got the world hemmed up, my daddy should've named me tailor
I'll scare ya like I knock at the front door when the rents due
The true, lyrical O.G., shine's inevitable
Rhymes irrefutable digital decibels
Louder then Busta Rhymes wardrobe and I've been foretold
Ain't a tough cat in your zip code, city or rural
Will I become immortal and make you a graffiti R.I.P. mural
Complete with artist rendering on how you used to be
Proving you're mortal, surrendering victory to Chi
Underneath flowers and candles from your friends and family
The walls are reminding you should've never f*cked with me
I take it to your f-a-c-e but don't respond
'Cause I'm the big dog, the world's a fire hydrant that I p*ss upon
[Chorus]
If our worlds collide
(It's my world)
I hope you know that one of us gon' die
(It's my world)
It won't be me cus I was born to rise
(Yo, It's my world)
So when the war I hope you on my side
(It's my world, it's my world, it's my world)
[Scratching Chino from Sway and Tech's "The Anthem"]
Chino makes the world go round...
[Scratching Nas from "Hate me Now"]
The Illest...
Blame God he blew breath in my lungs...
Chino makes the world go round...
[Scratching Nas from "Hate me Now"]
The Illest...
Blame God he blew breath in my lungs... (Yo, yeah, yo)
[Verse 2]
360 of unadulterated battle rhyme
You must be inebriated wanting to challenge mine
My distance so accurate you need timelapse cameras to capture it
Tearing apart time's fabric, no exaggerate
35,000 giga hard drives only could store half of it
That ain't the half of it, I spit the blood of Christ on a Catholic
Lyrics specialist ain't this a b*tch rip sh*t so effortless
Smoke method with Method Man being chased by thirty Methodists
Seven day Adventist tempt this and try to prevent this
So I cuss like D'Amato leaving them praying/preying like a mantis
Perform in front of Mormons 'til they banished up in p*ss
Start dramas between Amish 'til they turn to Blood and Crips
Go to war with four continents, make Saddam turn Protestant
Bill Clinton's advisors like, "Look at what your big mouth got us in"
Give the world surgery
Resurrect Yitzhak Raveh then mandate the extinction of all of Germany
Blanket the Universe in darkness for all eternity
I'm like Vernon Jordan on the stand committing perjury
I'll resurrect Hannibal
To show Italianos how African they are for thinking of us as animals
I'll resurrect Mussolini
p*ss in his hat and show with all his tyranny, armies and gas he couldn't see me
Resurrect Idi Amin and Hitler
Then sit around exchanging war stories to show whose mind is sicker
And full of hatred, life ain't far 'cause if it was
Biggie would still be here and these wack rappers would be dead
[Chorus]
If our worlds collide (It's my world)
I hope you know that one of us gon' die (It's my world)
It won't be me cus I was born to rise (Yo, It's my world)
So when the war I hope you on my side
(It's my world, it's my world, it's my world)
[Scratching Chino from Sway and Tech's "The Anthem"]
Chino makes the world go round...
[Scratching Nas from "Hate me Now"]
The Illest...
Blame God he blew breath in my lungs...
Chino makes the world go round...
[Scratching Nas from "Hate me Now"]
The Illest...
Blame God he blew breath in my lungs... (Yo, yeah, yo)
[Verse 3]
I have survived twenty-four years of being poor
I have survived my hometown claiming I wasn't raw
I have survived being shot at and stabbed while on tour
I have survived millions of n*ggas stealing my metaphors
For three years, broken down that's 36 months
26,280 hours holding a grudge
A non-vocalist drama belonging in the theatre
So raw I'm charging my reflection for rhyming in the mirror
Your flow's ancient, I'm past the prehistoric stages
I flip vocal booths equipped with roll bars and cages
Temperature rise, you're feeling faint when my heat fell
You wish for death like Lady Di wish she'd wore a seatbelt
Seek help, May Day, S.O.S. explode
Dot dot dash, I'll beat that ass in Morse Code
Your rhyme like Down Syndrome
I make you limp home for sleeping on my Puerto Rican skin tone
(Leave him alone)
And I don't give a f*ck who you get
I don't give a f*ck if Jesus write your verses and Satan and God produced it
I don't give a f*ck if Puff signed it
I don't give a f*ck what old school rapper you getting out of retirement
I'm on my own di*k like a man in solitary confinement
Release enough pollution to destroy the whole environment
Chino strikes again, lose your hearing from my buzz
Sell CD's? sh*t, I sold water to Noah during the Flood
[Scratching from Sway and Tech's "The Anthem"]
Chino makes the world go round...
[Scratching Nas from]
The Illest...
Blame God he blew breath in my lungs...
[Scratching from Sway and Tech's "The Anthem"]
Chino makes the world go round...
[Scratching Nas from]
The Illest...
Blame God he blew breath in my lungs...
