World So Cruel lyrics
by Fat Joe
[Verse 1: Flesh-N-Bone]
Here I come pullin' up with our Mo Thugs
Trues humbly united gathering souls and bail
Livin' life daily, on the way to madness, feel like I can't stand it
Feelin' like I wanna self-destruct but I don't wanna go to hell (no)
Listen up, what I'm tellin' explicit
From all I seen, envisioning and devil fiendin', catch us and the schemin'
We'll drink for the ??? and repent (amen)
We're born sinful, meaning we grow that thought it goes on
f*ck it we'll keep it righteous homies
Soldiers and we're hustlin'
Same song, sing along
I don't have a safe place for my babies
Don't want 'em brought up so crazy
In a cruel world already like hades
Gon’ make Flesh break down, it's hind sight
???
Them feeling's are fine
Rush steady, try not to bind 'em with my nine
I try to stay kind instead of blood spilling
Live and let live
Grow love and then shove it
Find tha po po beatin' down ya door one day
And take ya rank and you won't see your busta faces anymore
No more killin' each other for b*tches and shoes
sh*t it ain't nothin' to lose, fool get a job, pay dues
Most Fools do nothin' and ???
I did my third ???
???
Lil' Eazy, my mentor came in
Handin' over the shoes, I go walkin' in
Then he had to go die bye, why
Would the cruel world took him, sh*t
[Chorus]
Why, why, why, are we
Living in a world world world so cruel?
Why, why, why, are we
Living in a world world world so cruel?
[Verse 2: Reverand Run]
This Reverend from heaven just makin' you feel
'Bout these problems for Run
But neva' the less, I'm fresh with Flesh
The solution's begun
Gotta get y'all, hit y'all wit y'all
Fellas makin' dollars and cents
But the fact that whack rappers
Be jealous
Make this Reverend intense
I'm flippin' the script 'n' I'm rippin' 'em down
They be burnin' my church
No lippin', I'm sippin', I'm tippin' my crown
Gettin' worse in my verse
Who got yo macho, shot yo kids
Creepin' up on yo crew
It's kinda hot, y'all got yo bids
Boy, and that's how we do
But still I don't mind it's soldiers I'm 'bout
Mastermind at this time
Just look at that welfare line and can't forget
That black-on-black crime
We livin', and driven, and giving them love
But what they do wit' our heart
For takin' and breakin' and fakin' them jacks
Boy it tear' 'em apart
Just livin' in a world that's so, so cruel
That's the tape in yo deck
They take our money, rape our women
Now come give me respect
[Interlude: Reverand Run]
And I believe, a lot of us shouldn't even condemn these rappers
Because if nobody woulda' told me about God
The church folks would a been talkin' bad about me
[Chorus]
Why, why, why, are we
Living in a world world world so cruel?
Why, why, why, are we
Living in a world world world so cruel?
[Verse 3: Flesh-N-Bone]
Think about the end, its due
Maybe 1999, then what would we do
We breakin' it'll make ah change, fool
Do somethin' else quick or it’s over
You escape the traps in our community
Wit ah master plan to get rid of it
See we got crack and all these diseases that make us immune
And ain't it ridiculous
Look at us strugglin', hustlin'
Gotta make ends meet to pay my bills
Gotta help ain't no grub on our grills
Stuffin' to get to me fillin', that's on the for real though
Still, people feel me
So many of y'all are diamonds in the rough
Sho' nuff, better know thus
Wanna get a grip tight hold on my brotha’s
We're marchin' soldiaz
And I told ya
And it showed deceiving, caught him on camera
Some coppaz got no love, they see a thug
Comin' up, steady creeping and sweating, and force ‘em and that ain’t even just
Who the hell do we trust
Don't even run, they pull a gun and pop it
The black get together, men gather strong at last
Controllin' no mass, no more violence, gon' stop it
Grow to be prophets, not a problem
Keep in mind the Lord's watch, and it's no
When you think it's sin
Wanna l've by the sword, gotta die
Ash, ash to dust
???
Lil' Easy my mentor came
Handin' over the shoes I go walkin' in
Put us up on game, then he passed when the cruel world took him, sh*t
[Chorus]
Why, why, why, are we
Living in a world world world so cruel?
Why, why, why, are we
Living in a world world world so cruel?
