The Show Goes On

Alright, all ready, the show goes on

All night till the morning we dream so long

Anybody ever wonder when they would see the sun up

Just remember when you come up, the show goes on

Alright, all ready, the show goes on

All night till the morning we dream so long

Anybody ever wonder when they would see the sun up

Just remember when you come up, the show goes on

Have you ever had the feeling that you was being had

Don't that shit that make you mad, they treat you like a slave

Put chains all on your soul and put whips up on your back

They be lying through they teeth, hope you slip up off your path

I don't switch up I just laugh, put my kicks up on the desk

Unaffected by they threats then get busy on they ass

See that's how that Chi-Town made me, that's how my daddy raised me

That glittering may not be gold, don't let nobody play me

If you are my homeboy you never have to pay me

Go on and put your hands up, when times is hard you stand up

L U P the man 'cause a brand that the fans trust so even if they ban us

They'll never slow my plans up

Alright, all ready, the show goes on

All night till the morning we dream so long

Anybody ever wonder when they would see the sun up

Just remember when you come up, the show goes on

Alright, all ready, the show goes on

All night till the morning we dream so long

Anybody ever wonder when they would see the sun up

Just remember when you come up, the show goes on

One in the air for the people who ain't here

Two in the air for the father that's there

Three in the air for the kids in the ghetto

Four for the kids who don't want to be there

None for the **** trying to hold them back

Five in the air for the teacher not scared

To tell those kids that's living in the ghetto

That the **** holding back, that the world is theirs

Yeah, yeah, the world is yours

I was once that little boy, terrified of the world

Now I'm on a world tour

I would give up everything, even start a world war

For these ghetto girls and boys, I'm rapping around the world for

Africa to New York, Haiti then I detour

Oakland out to Auckland, Gaza Strip to Detroit

Say hip-hop only destroy, tell 'em look at me, boy

I hope your son don't have a gun and never be a D boy

Alright, all ready, the show goes on

All night till the morning we dream so long

Anybody ever wonder when they would see the sun up

Just remember when you come up, the show goes on

Alright, all ready, the show goes on

All night till the morning we dream so long

Anybody ever wonder when they would see the sun up

Just remember when you come up, the show goes on

So no matter what you've been through, no matter what you into

No matter what you see when you look outside your window

Brown grass or green grass, picket fence or barb wire

Never ever put them down, you just lift your arms higher

Raise 'em till your arms tired, let 'em know you here

That you struggling, surviving, that you gon' persevere, yeah

Ain't nobody leaving, no body going home

Even if they turn the light out the show is going on

Alright, all ready, the show goes on

All night till the morning we dream so long

Anybody ever wonder when they would see the sun up

Just remember when you come up, the show goes on

Alright, all ready, the show goes on

All night till the morning we dream so long

Anybody ever wonder when they would see the sun up

Just remember when you come up, the show goes on
