Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Dm][Em][Dm]
[Em][Dm]
[Em][Dm]
[Em]
Night [Dm]blows, stoves don't

[Verse 1]
[Dm]
work, hoes at work
[Em]A warrior, so I wear 'em on my shirt
[Dm]Wish I was free as Che was,
I spend a day buzzed
[Em]Tripping on heights,
wishing for Nikes in different flavors
[Dm]The age of Kane and Big Daddy,
short- body [Em]Caddys
Uncles named Larry,
that really never grabbed me
[Dm]My mother gave birth but
she really never had me
[Em]Left to the hood to play daddy
Raised by niggas named [Dm]Butch,
Scoot or Bae- Bae
With weight so they weigh they
[Em]status on the streets
License plates that say they, [Dm]motto
This is Chicago in the heyday
[Em]Similar to Good Times,
I guess that I was JJ
A skinny nig[Dm]ga,
young girls with Penny figures
[Em]So many niggas,
stacked upon each other
It's [Dm]the black upon each
other that we love so much
Won[Em]der how many of us
these drugs gonna touch
Used [Dm]to gang bang,
ain't really thug that much
Rather [Em]have some thick broads
than a Dutch to clutch
Went [Dm]to school in Baton Rouge
for a couple of years
My college [Em]career got downed
with a couple of beers
Came [Dm]back home,
now I gotta pay back loans
Same [Em]nigga, same block,
same shit they own
Only [Dm]thing different, quicker,
they click that chrome
In my [Em]defense, yo, I had to hit that zone
Man [Dm]to man,
I'm good working with my hands
My gen[Em]eration never understood
workin' for the man
And, of being [Dm]broke I ain't a fan
Now I [Em]stand in the same spot,
as my old man
[Dm]My life I planned not to be on this corner
[Em]I still wanna see California
But this is [Dm]my world
[Em](It's your world) Yeah

[Verse 2]
(Oh, it's [Dm]your world)
[Em](Your world,
[Dm]your[Em] world)
(It's your [Dm]world)
(It's your world)
(It's your world)
(Oh, it's your world)
(Your world, your world)
[G](It's your [Dm]world) Yeah[Em]
Life [Dm]and death blow around us

[Verse 3]
[Dm]
Four pounds and pounds [Em]of verb
from out of towners
It's hard to stay grounded
[Dm]We stay high,
that's why old folks down us
[Em]Lost, nobody found us,
the force that surrounds us
Ain't with us,
[Dm]they get us on the ground and hit us
We paint [Em]pictures of the chains under
their names and scriptures
[Dm]Removed from earth,
only to return through birth
Knew [Em]this girl sellin' her body,
wish she knew what it was worth
[Dm]Between God and trash,
lookin' in every car that [Em]pass
With a walk that suggests head,
to [Dm]milk niggas she was breastfed
She know dairy so [Em]she say
cheese to get bread
In the area where [Dm]it's more
weaves and less dreads
Kinda scary,
[Em]amongst thieves and base- heads
Said it was [Dm]her toes,
but I could tell her soul hurt
She [Em]was cold turk',
growin' up she got to know hurt
Very well [Dm]in a world where self-
hate is overt
Her step- father [Em]that he was Ike,
so her mother he strikes
She got [Dm]to like like minded niggas,
who liked crimes and figures
[Em]Doin' white lines and liquor,
see hard times had kicked [Dm]her
In the ass, it used to be thicker
[Em]Life is fast, some choose to be quicker
I [Dm]remember in high school she
had a passion to sing
[Em]Now she see herself in
a casket in dreams
These are the [Dm]children of crack and rap,
Blacks that lack
[Em]Self- esteem, yo, we forgot the dream
[Dm]On our Jefferson's y'all,
but we forgot the theme
In the [Em]Chi, we even rootin'
for a garbage team
[Dm]This queen never seen
herself on this corner
She [Em]still wanna see California
But this is [Dm]her world

[Verse 4]
[Em](It's your world) Yeah
(Oh, it's your [Dm]world)
(Your [Em]world, your world)
[Dm](It's your[Em]
world)
[Dm](It's your world)
(It's your world)
(Oh, it's your world)
(Your world, your world)
[Em](It's your[Dm]
[Em]
[Dm]
[Em]world)
