Instrumental; Nas - The World Is Yours

i woke up late on my born day,21 years of blessing
adolescence isnt present,maybe faintly,lets not stress it
the message was clear as heavenly texts
flowing in a vessel,surviving the test of time
encased in rhyme,formulate the words to open minds
like Yasmin Ahmad and brain surgery combined
to be the gem of my generation,
penetrating every culture and connect like Michael Jackson to the death
moonwalk with Armstrong,kneel to no management
scribbling my destiny,i question what my age meant
society enslaves mental capacity,
limits intimidate only initiate intricacy-
of rebel state of minds,pumping toxic so sublime
subtly shaping civilizations
that of the panopticon kind,power hungry creations-
never satisfied,that's the problem that we're facing now

born as a Leo in the dragon's age
in the New World Attribute of things,city of angels burned
like the eternal flame of my parents that day
place of knowledge was the setting for love's appearance
he grew out of his Nikes,tuck his shirt in
coz her dad wanted to do it right before things worsen
there was no proposal,agreed on the phone
ceremony abroad coz she couldn't afford to come home
soon after that the chemistry embellished this marriage
with the first born after a few miscarriages
pain and treasured moments captured on mental cameras,
with the little me being at the centre of the struggle
huddled through the downturn of the decade
nasi lemak in LBC before flying back to the Malacca straight
relocated to the ninth state capital
she taught me the physics,he engineered the chemicals

21 gun salute,
peep the digits,here's the scoop
11 years of innocence,3 years of pressure
2 years of hope and 3 years of pleasure
2 years of bliss half the time it went flop
in between 5 years of passion for Hip Hop
2 years of Rick Dee's 'fore i heard Mobb Deep
before all that i was born into Nasyeed
3 lovely angels came and made me complete
and now i'm with the 4th and she's from another country
but of course life is more than just the silly numbers
facts and figurative definitions made me start to wonder
what is beyond the cause,waking up to the mirror
barely recognize the face,shave my sin to breath clearer
i'm a reflection of the frosty world,check the scars you would know
my life is frozen in rhyme even when i go cold
