THE WORLD

Hey this will be my last rhyme for a while I hope it satisfies you

VERSE 1

Theres so many flaws in this thing we call the earth

For some people their problems start right at birth

I could sit here and list the problems forever for you

But I ain’t got that kinda time so I’ll only address a few

First 50 cents out there screwing up the musical world

He says he has so many fans he probably thinks he Tupac

Hey 50 I have someone friends who listened to you

Now they listen to punk rock

“I’ll take you to the candy shop I’ll let you lick the lollipop”

Ok Curtis we get it you’re from the ghetto you can stop

Thank god we got people like Will Smith that resist the temptation

People like Will Smith that would pick their family OVER their reputation

People like Will Smith who don’t get caught up in the rotation

From winter to fall

From summer to spring

This place we call the world is a crazy thing

CHORUS

The world is a crazy place

It’ll kick you when your down

Rub dirt in your face

So you better get on it’s good side

Or you’re gonna have a long and hard ride

So just sit back and close your eyes

Because everything that’s in store is a surprise

VERSE 2

Man whats wrong with the world?

SUPERMAN COULDN’T WALK

that’s like Martin Luther King not bein able to talk

And now the leader of the church is dead

And the pope aint ever gonna rise again

The 2000s worst decade ever?

Sayin nuttin can be worse

Hey never say never

I’m sure these people will do sumthin much more “clever”

They’ll come up with somethin because the world can never be at peace

How can you say you like the world when an uncle would molest his niece?

When it seems like your life is controlled by the next press release

How can you like the world when they consider Paris Hilton news?

Stuff’s been wrong since Hitler prosecuted the Jews

Yea that’s right you got a 13 year old talkin bout World War 2

Not mentioned no names but send him to jail you got all them clues

So much evidence its just immense

But how can you take the expense?

Of sending a celebrity to jail?

To me it seems like so far the world has failed

CHORUS

VERSE 3

Now I know it seems like all I’ve done the whole song

Is sit there and knit pick and tell you whats wrong

But don’t get the wrong idea theres a lot of positive things in the world too

Just look what its done for you

Even if you're life was bad

you shouldn't be mad

because at least you got to have a life

you may even have some kids and a wife

But the world still controls you

Whether your in America, Iraq, or hell even Hong Kong

Basically what the world represents

Is that even if everything is terrible

at least you still got sumthin to be happy for

O yea the world must suck cuz you can’t get tickets to the snoop dogg tour

Every person on the face of the Earth has been an asshole to another at one time

Every person on the face of the Earth has had committed at least one crime

It doesn’t matter the size

Nothing will ever be perfect thats the moral of the the rhyme

CHORUS

"Given you a roof over ya head

It’s because of the world you aint dead" - U have a great song and all, but I would disagree wit this line. The world doesn't really give U anything. especially these two.

"Every person on the face of the Earth has been an asshole to another at one time

Every person on the face of the Earth has had committed at least one crime

It doesn’t matter the size

Nothing will ever perfect is the moral of the rhyme" - I really liked this ending.

"Theres so many flaws in this thing we call the earth

For some people their problems start right after birth" - this is a real good opening, but I'd change it to 'for some people, their problems start right at birth'. That be a definate grabber. It actually could be said a couple different ways if U really think about it. Just wanted to point that out.

Overall, it's a real good rhyme. Better than the average world songs that people address.
