《One Drop Rule》歌词

[00:03:40] Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, Nas, uh, yo, yo

[00:03:40] Life, they wonder, can they take me under?

[00:03:40] Nah, never that, nah, yo, yo

[00:03:40] I come from the housin tenement buildings

[00:03:40] Unlimited killings, menaces marked for death

[00:03:40] Better known as the projects where junkies and rock heads dwell

[00:03:40] Though I owe to it my success

[00:03:40] With survival of the fittest, everyday is a chal'

[00:03:40] I would think I'm a part of U.S.A. and be proud

[00:03:40] Confronted with racism, started to feel foreign

[00:03:40] Like, the darker you are the realer your problems

[00:03:40] I reached for the stars but I just kept slippin

[00:03:40] On this life mission, never know what's next

[00:03:40] Ancient kings from Egypt, up to Julius Cezar

[00:03:40] Had a piece of the globe, every continent

[00:03:40] Yo, there's Asia, Africa, Europe, France, Japan

[00:03:40] Pakistan, America, Afghanstan

[00:03:40] Yo, there's Protestants, Jews, Blacks, Arabics

[00:03:40] Call a truce, world peace, stop actin like savages

[00:03:40] No war, we should take time and think

[00:03:40] The bombs and tanks makes mankind extinct

[00:03:40] But since the beginning of time it's been men with arms fightin

[00:03:40] Lost lives in the Towers and Pentagon, why then?

[00:03:40] Must it go on, we must stop the killin

[00:03:40] Tell me why we die, we all God's children

[00:03:40] All this hate can't last forever (uh, c'mon)

[00:03:40] It's time that we stand together (yeah, for the world)

[00:03:40] Everybody wants to rule the world (what, what, what, what, what, c'mon)

[00:03:40] World (peace), world (peace), world (peace), world

[00:03:40] Yo, there's brothers on the block, posted up like they own it

[00:03:40] That's they corner, from New York to California

[00:03:40] Got blocks locked down

[00:03:40] Like, "dog you safe whenever you with me, see this is my town"

[00:03:40] So the youngsters, grows in ghettos, goes to prison

[00:03:40] At an early age, already know it's against him

[00:03:40] So in order for him to survive, one day he must

[00:03:40] Open up his eyes to the set backs and rise

[00:03:40] 'Cause, everybody wants a shot, in this land of opportunity

[00:03:40] Look at what this country's got

[00:03:40] There shouldn't be nobody homeless

[00:03:40] How can the president fix other problems when he ain't fixed home yet

[00:03:40] The earth wasn't made for one man to rule alone

[00:03:40] To all colors increases, to home it belongs

[00:03:40] I want land, mansions, banks and gold

[00:03:40] The diamonds in Africa, oil in my control

[00:03:40] The world's natural resources, all its residuals

[00:03:40] But then comes foes, I have to gaurd it with missels

[00:03:40] And I become the most wanted

[00:03:40] But is it worth hearin a million people problems and followed by Secret Service

[00:03:40] I guess, attempts at my life with loaded barrels

[00:03:40] So move over Colin Powell or just throw in the towel, yo

[00:03:40] All this hate can't last forever (uh, c'mon)

[00:03:40] It's time that we stand together (yeah, for the world)

[00:03:40] Everybody wants to rule the world (what, what, what, what, what, c'mon)

[00:03:40] World (peace), world (peace), world (peace), world

[00:03:40] Y'all know that's my style, to hit you at the right time

[00:03:40] No other compares to what Nas write down

[00:03:40] Tell you my dreams, show you my pain is yours

[00:03:40] You could get what you love, be a chain in cause

[00:03:40] You alive right now

[00:03:40] There's so many that's dead or locked up inside the beast, I'm a hot light now

[00:03:40] It's whatever man think of manifest to the real

[00:03:40] The plan is to wake up 'cause time reveals

[00:03:40] All this hate can't forever last

[00:03:40] All my ghetto heroes in Heaven, it's like you right here and never passed

[00:03:40] You just transcend, I know I'm gon' see you again

[00:03:40] Hopin I reach the world leaders and win

[00:03:40] Ain't nothin without struggle, listen up, it's critical

[00:03:40] We used to fear arms, now the weapons are chemical

[00:03:40] In Hip-Hop, the weapons are lyrical

[00:03:40] To be the best you challenge the best, then the blessings are spiritual

[00:03:40] Top of the world for the kid and unless

[00:03:40] Poppin any rapper's head off his shoulders no contest

[00:03:40] I know the Most High hear me, so fly you can't near me

[00:03:40] You scared of a mirror, my theory is that - knowledge is power

[00:03:40] To every projects and every street corner, we gotta get ours now

[00:03:40] All this hate can't last forever (uh, c'mon)

[00:03:40] It's time that we stand together (yeah, for the world)

[00:03:40] Everybody wants to rule the world (what, what, what, what, what, c'mon)

[00:03:40] World (peace), world (peace), world (peace), world

[00:03:40] Yo, niggas ain't forget shit, know what I'm sayin?

[00:03:40] Niggas ain't forget nothin

[00:03:40] Men, women, and children killed by the police and shit

[00:03:40] Niggas ain't gon' forget that, you know what I mean?

[00:03:40] Yo, what this war just show me is like, whatever you want out of life

[00:03:40] Whatever you feel is rightfully yours, go out and take it

[00:03:40] Even if that means blood and death

[00:03:40] You know, that's what I was raised up on, that's what this country's about

[00:03:40] This is what my country is, and my country's a muthaf**ka
