Alright, already 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
Alright, already 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
Have you ever had the feeling that you was being had?
They treat you like a slave, with chains all on your soul
They be lying through they teeth
Hope you slip up off your path
I don't switch up I just laugh
Unaffected by they threats than get busy on they ass
See that's how that Chi-Town made me
That glittering may not be gold, don't let no body play me
If you are my homeboy, you never have to pay me
Go on and put your hands up, when times are 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, already 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
Alright, already 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
One in the air for the people that 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 wanna be there
None for the niggas 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 niggas holdin' back that the world is theirs!
Yeah yeah, the world is yours, I was once that little boy
I will give up everything, even start a world war
For these ghettos 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
I hope your son don't have a gun and that would be a D-boy
Alright, already 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
Alright, already 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
So no matter what you been through
No matter what you see when you look outside your window
You just lift your arms higher
Raise 'em till your arms tired
That you struggling and survivin' that you gonna persevere
Yeah, ain't nobody leavin', nobody goin' home
Even if they turn the lights out the show is goin' on!
Alright, already 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
Alright, already the show goes on
All night, till the morning we dream so long
Anybody ever wonder, when they would see the sun up
