Existing are those people
Ah, with the negative minds, mhm
And when you're moving forward
They wanna pull you behind (No negativity), ooh
They just can't stop this force
Can't stop superior force
Don't let them hold you (Ribbit)
They can't control you

The world is yours (Living)
Rule and control (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
The world is yours (Oh, come on, oh)
Redeem your soul

Stepping in for 'Nazz with Jay-Z, this is what she say
I got the world in the palm of my hand, this is my plan
I'ma take it from the top, on solid ground I stand
Negative is relative to enhance the positive
I'ma stay focused on what I must achieve
I gotta believe that there is hope for me
In this world of chaotic times, who will set us free?
I'm learning to shine, taking control of mine
And bring it to the people, some good advice, what?

Existing are those people
Ah, with the positive vibe (Living it up), uh-huh (Yeah, come on)
Forever moving forward
Controlling the light (Run things), ooh (Control things)
No one can hold us down (No one, one, one)
They just can't keep us down (No, no)
Don't let them hold you
They can't control you (No, no, no)

The world is moving (Living it up)
And the world is at our feet
There is no stopping (No, nothing)
So hear while I repeat

The world is yours
Rule and control (Run control, y'all, it's your life)
The world is yours (If you want to make
You happy, you have to deal with it)
Redeem your soul (Yeah)

Uh, uh, yeah, yeah
Ah, fi me hour, me got the power
Rule and control, redeem me soul
Liberate myself (Yeah) from the negative man
Ah, with the positive man and the superior man
Rule my destiny to eternity
Rule equality is my reality
Nine, nine, nine, nine, it is my time
Nine, nine, nine, nine, it is my time (Living it up)
