paroles de chanson The World! - Jalon Brown

I wanted to see what the world had to offer but
I'd already been offered the world, yeah
I'd fought the monster and gotten the girl, yeah
But then my life got thrown in a whirl, yeah

I did a couple things I probably shouldn't
Wanted to be truthful but the devil said I couldn't
Wanted to believe, eventually found out I wouldn't
Want a sword of diamonds, at the moment mine is wooden
Want to do my very best to take care of my woman
But breaking trust is breaking up and I won't get the good end
Got into some drugs and stuff I thought I never would and
This ain't the way the story goes, turn back to page '20
Making love will fuck you up if you only love yourself
And getting high ain't getting by, you're just putting books on a shelf
And I ain't one to sell you out
Nah, I ain't one to claim a hell
But last year's leaving faster
Than the astronauts who flew and fell
(Because I smoked too much weed)

I wanna tell the world
I got by
I wanna tell the world
To just vibe
And leave itself alone
Sometimes
Why can't you do what you like?

I wanna tell the world
I got by
I wanna tell the world
You're so fly
I wanna tell the world
Put your hands high
Cuz you know they own your sides

Gimme just a second
Let me wink at my reflection
I'm annoying like a dead end
But I'm holy like a reverend
Gimme just a second to teach you all a lesson
Cuz I know you're second guessing, yeah I know you got some questions

I've been spending all my money on some clothes I never needed
But you know that's better than some food I'd never eaten
Yeah I know it's better than a game I'd never beaten
Should've bought a car but it's the bus that I be in

Taking my time to tell you how it goes
Hopping the fence while you're on tippy toes
I got homies who got blow in their nose
I got homies that ain't nobody knows
I got a life that I'm calling my own
After a couple of years on the go
After a couple of years on the grass
After a couple of years I might blow
Up, see my idols when I turn my back
Breaking your jaw, you don't know me like that
DVD player for all of your smack
Breaking the tension with tales of the pad
Blowing your mind with every track
Taking my time to make all that sound rad
Taking my time when I write you like that
Breaking my neck cuz I'm moving too fast

I wanna tell the world
I got by
I wanna tell the world
To just vibe
And leave itself alone
Sometimes
Why can't you do what you like?

I wanna tell the world
I got by
I wanna tell the world
You're so fly
I wanna tell the world
Put your hands high
Cuz you know they own your sides
