Waiting For The World To End

Yeah its the god rakim

Word up Im blazin this out to all my comrades

Ya na mean from the slums of New York

To the gutters all over the world this is for yall

Through my travels I try to take righteous steps
Because right or left could mean life or death
No matter how trife it get my sights is set
But its twice the threat when the night is death
My mental windows refuse to close they get exposed
To the neighborhood info where the poison wind blows
A deadly plague spreadin negativity viciously
Unto every city be in ghetto misery
Dont let it get to me the writer be left to die
But it get mesmerize if it catch your eye
Shines enormous from pure revered Kools and garments
But its torment jealousy drug wars or warring
Tallying slowly turnin into barbarians
More scary when the whole boulevards carryin
Livin in the world of sin my ghetto girls and men
Waiting for the world to end

Tryin to paint a perfect picture and excel

In case you didnt know
Never movin backwards
Complicated
Know what I mean

Tryin to paint a perfect picture and excel

In case you didnt know
Never movin backwards
Complicated

Know what I mean
I see destruction even little kids trust none
They bust guns thats what they get a rush from
When I see em we build and have a real discussion
Yo Ra whats the jewel of the day whats up son
You got ambitionshorty said man listen
I got demands for livin cant stand division
Make grands on my mission till everything glisten
Women in the expedition no plans for prison
In a vision the city get 2 milleni G
Sittin in my MSC sippin hennesy
Gettin high and watch life pass me by
So I asked him why
Wit a fast reply he said Im livin just to die without any feelings
So I wait here for my maker till its time to go
Wit this dime I know wit all of her girls and all of my mens
Waitin for the world to end

Tryin to paint a perfect picture and excel

In case you didnt know
Never movin backwards
Complicated
Know what I mean

Tryin to paint a perfect picture and excel

In case you didnt know

Never movin backwards
Complicated

Shorty was taught to keep his head to the sky and never cry
But the streets left him to die now its death in his eye
Livin a sin of hitmen a sinister grin
From beginning to end in it to win
Evil rebels doin what we doin in the ghetto
Thinkin if we was thorough we can deceive the devil
You cant win your life be end try again
Shorty said why we born again to die again
Thats what I said when I realized I had a gift
To uplift and be one of Allahs advocates
Teach the youth and speak the truth
Show em what peace can do when ill reach for you
And my reward wont be jewels or cheese its even better
I can be oneof the greatest MCs ever
If I tell em they intelligent women and great men
And live stop waitin for the world to end

Tryin to paint a perfect picture and excel

In case you didnt know

Never movin backwards

Complicated
Know what I mean

Tryin to paint a perfect picture and excel

In case you didnt know
Never movin backwards
Complicated
Know what I mean
Im ragin rippin up the stage an
Dont it sound amazin know what I mean

Dont it sound amazin know what I mean

Rakim Rakim
