Me Against The World

It's just me against the world. Just me against the world, baby.
I got nothin' to lose, it's just me against the world.
Stuck in the game, me against the world, baby.

Can you picture my prophecy?
Stress in the city the cops is hot for me.
The projects is full of bullets, the bodies is droppin'.
There ain't no stopping me.
Constantly movin' while makin' millions.
Witnessin' killers leavin' dead bodies in abandoned buildings.
Carries the children cause they're illin',
addicted to killin' a near appeal from the cap peelin' without feelin'.
But will they last or be blasted? Hard headed bastard,
maybe he'll listen in his casket, the aftermath.
More bodies being buried. I'm losin' my homies in a hurry,
they're relocating to the cemetary.
Got me worried, stressin', my visions blurry.
The question is "Will I live?" No one in the world loves me.
I'm headed for danger, don't trust strangers.
Put one in the chamber whenever I'm feelin' this anger.
Don't want to make excuses. 'cause this is how it is.
What's the use? Unless we're shootin' no one notices the youth.
It's just me against the world baby.

Me against the world.
It's just me against the world.
It's just me against the world.
Me against the world
'Cause it's just me against the world, baby.
Me against the world.
I got nothin' to lose, it's just me against the world, baby.
I got nothin' to lose.

(Dramacydal)
Could somebody help me? I'm out here all by myself
seeing ladies in stones, baby Capones livin' wealthy.
Pictures of my birth, on the surface what I'm dreamin'
seein' daddy seein' full of crooked demons, 
already crazy and screamin'
I guess them nightmares as a child
had me scared but left me prepared for awhile.
Is there another route for crooked outlaws
that are in a villian of young thugs?

Everday is more death, and plus I'm no less.
I'm seein' more reasons for me to proceed with thievin'.
Scheme on scheming and leavin' their peoples grievin'
'Cause ain't no bucks to stack up, my nuts is backed up.
I'm about to act up, go load the mac up, now watch me klack up.
Try makin' fat cuts, but yo, it ain't workin'
and evil's lurkin', I can see him smirkin' when I gets the bourbon.
so what go put some work in, and make my mail makin' sells,
riskin' 25 with a 'L' but oh well.


Me against the world.
With nothin' to lose, it's just me against the world.
It's just me against the world, baby.
Me against the world.
I got nothin' to lose, it's just me against the world.
It's just me against the world, baby.
With nothin' to lose, it's just me against the world, baby.
Me against the world.
Me against the world.
I got nothin' to lose, it's just me against the world, baby.

With all this extra stressin', the question I wonder is
after death, after my last breath
when will I finaly get to rest from this oppression?
They punish the people that's askin' questions,
and those that possess steal from the ones without possesions.
The message I stress to make it stop study your lessons.
Don't settle for less, even the genius asks questions.
Be grateful for blessings don't ever change, keep your essense.
The power is in the people and the politics we address.
Always do your best, don't let this pressure make you panic.
And when you get stranded, and things don't go the way you planned.
Dreaming of riches, in a position of makin' a difference.
Politicians are hipocrites, they don't wanna listen.
If I'm insane, it's the fame made a brother change.
It wasn't nothin' like the game, it's just me against the world.

Me against the world.
Nothin' to lose, it's just me against the world, baby.
Me against the world.
Got me stuck in the game, it's just me against the world.
Nothin' to lose, it's just me against the world, baby.
Me against the world.

That's right, I know it seem hard someties, but remember one thing.
Through every dark night there's a bright day after that.
So no matter how hard it gets, stick ya chest out,
keep ya head up, and handle it.

Me against the world.
(Repeat and fade...)
