INTRO
Light a candle for this
one

CHORUS
I’ve been around the world
And gets nothin’
but love
For who I am
I thank my fans so much
And even
though some my hate
Still I appreciate
All my friends and
family
That kept it real with me

VERSE
I been around
the would and back
Like ‘What up?’
East side to West Side
tourin’
Like ‘What up?’
And even though the price for the
house
Was so much
I’m still roll with them from the hood

Like ‘What up?’
And even though
‘Cause when it comes
to
bein’ the realest
I’m sure ‘nuff
Straight up industry
villain
For sure ‘nuff
And I can’t satisfy some a ya’ll
No
matter what
And some a ya’ll cats are so jealous
And we’re
livin’ in a cold cold world
Where there aint nothin’ but
Fake
Faces, Fake People, Fake Friends
Said we’re livin’ in a cold cold
world
Where there aint nothin’ but
Envy, Wanna-Be’s, Player
Haters
Yeah, I know I need a hug
But ya’ll need a hug
too
‘Cause God gonna judge me
The same day he judge you
And
even though we have our struggles
That’s all right, you know we
ghetto folks
Is gonna find a way to shine

CHORUS


VERSE (Ja)
Sometimes this world can be so cold
When
you’re lookin’ through the windows of the soul
I been lookin’ to
see the truth as it unfolds
‘Cause I been around this globe and
back
Enough to know the fact
Who loves me and who loves me
not
Nigga she’s so hot
You could put it in red tights
They
pump it through every hood, ghetto and block
Until they heart
stops
That’s why they fiend for me
And I’m thankful for every
blessing that you’ve given me Lord
And I’m thankful for all the
talents in my vocal chords
And these haters, I keep shaken ‘em
off
Rubbin’ they face in fame
I’m sorry to change the
game
But it’s mine and I can’t complain
Rule and R.Kel have
been around the world
Puttin’ it on women
And bump n’ and
grindin’ these b***
But we always on time
When the woman is
fed up
And guess what
That’s why they always with us
‘Cause
we

CHORUS

VERSE
Said my lyrics is my
testimony
That how I live
I had to get rid of a lotta fake
homies
I’ve know for years
You see me on the T.V.
sometimes
Not how it is
Ya’ll gotta start learnin’ how to

Seperate me from show biz
When I’m Rollin’ through your
city
Show me love
And ladies when you see your boy
Gimme
hug
You know I’m not conceded, right?
It’s just my space,
sometimes I need it, right?
Said I got so many friends in them
area codes that I
Hand out them tickets when it comes to my
shows
Jaws break bread together, lets pray together
That we
grow strong together
Lets live for ever
Help each other
through the stormy weather
Lets hurt together
Lets cry
together
And even go broke together
And together we’ll make it
better

CHORUS / VAMP
