Blackalicious - As The World Turns Lyrics
"Now, I thought I would talk about today
For your consideration, as the world turns
As the world turns, you read in all these scriptures
About the world, find out that the world does turn!"
Dollar bill done drove the whole world crazy
While sitting on the porch letting ganja blaze
Never hesitate a moment to enhance my phrase
Since I needed that escape I take my pull
Seen the thugs on the corner trying to act all cool
Pretty much out of character
I look right through, their transparent exterior
You in my book getting written and I'm the derriere
Thought you was peeping me but I was aware of ya
You peep my ill expressions, how I just glare about
Well try on, try on
I'm watching everything that's going down
And it ain't nothing that I ain't been around
The same ghetto but a different town
Weeell, I remember growing up in the P-a-c
It was a whole lot of love in my family
I had clothes on my back and shoes on my feet
Times we didn't have a lot but that was fine with me
In good times and even bad times
Whether rainy, grey sky or the sunshine
Life was so much simpler, I didn't realise it then
But time has definitely made me a wiser man
[Chorus 2x: Erinn Anova]
The world keeps turning round
And time just keeps on moving
Sunday morning in the church just singing a song
Mama gave much praise cause her soul was strong
When I was young I used to do lots of thangs was wrong
I never thought about till one day she was gone
Now my daddy passed on about a year before
Reminiscing as I glance at the fishing pole
But these things gotta happen so we all can grow
And now they spirits much freer than they was befo'
So fly on, fly on, fly on, fly on, fly on, fly on, fly on
Cause there's angels in the midst
And they're guiding and watching me every day
And even though at times I let it get to me
Just a little and I go astray
We keep marching on and on
Young militants will watch and now we're growing
With kids of their own, as it all unfolds
As the world keeps turning on, the world keeps turning on
[Chorus 4x]
This one goes out to family, y'all come first
G-A-B, Chief Xcel, Blackalicious, out

Friends, this is what we call the truth.
Wish music like this was played on the radio instead of LIL wayne,drake,or Any of that other bullshit. This is real music. ONE LOVE!
GOOD TEST DUDE!
Does anyone else think this kinda sounds like Everlast?
these guys got the closest to realistic music you can make in rap without compromising themselves as entertainment
Sk8mafia song :)
I disagree me not liking a genre of music is not sad it just means I don't care for it. I did however say I have much respect for this artist.
So sad...
Ikr? Must be a badass 8 year old
You hate all hip hop..? You're a sad, sad person..
As a general rule you hate all rap and hip hop? You do realize how ignorant that makes you sound right? I don't think an opening line like that will have people clamouring for your opinion.
as a general rule I hate all rap and hip hop but I have a lot of respect for Blackalicious and Gift of Gab!
u got it right g enjoy the days that god gives us with or without with or without money or material objects
maan.. this song makes me reminisce about my old days growing up in the soviet union.. didnt have shit back then, but they were the best times of my life.. now i'm in the u.s. hustling for that paper.. time flies like a motherfucker.. cherish what you got at the present moment and keep your heart open.. mad respect to blackalicious and the uploader
Hahaha that is so funny :P the description so matches the reason for looking up this song!
same here, darrel stanton!
@nickshel this is the stuff that was birth of hip hop, blackalicious have just kept the spirit of that alive all the way. It don't get any better than this.
Real Hip-Hop will ALWAYS stay Alive.
3 people...I feel bad for each one of them...
@y0Nick yeah its all beautiful and got me semi erect, maybe i am a homo?
very powerful album
If these kids out there melting their brain matter to whatever crap is playing on FM radio would just dig a little deeper for their music, they would find a cornucopia of fabulous shit they've never heard of.
I've always loved this album, and this song has always related on many levels I'n my life and others. Respect dope hiphop!
Not gonna lie I normally only listen to the old funky/jazzy hop and I listened to some of this cat's song and I wasn't feeling them. I'm feeling this though. Spread the word: the more people who get interested in this style, the more people start doing it. Maybe there could be a rebirth.
thanks for posting :)
...time has made me wiser man... the gift will always bring it. the notoriety is surprising though, should be mainstream if you ask me. the bar has been set.
I Can't get enough of BLACKALICIOUS! I'm trying to get every one i know Hip to Gift of Gab and Lateef tha truth speaker. Pure talent
Dopest shit out there, Just listened to this song like 5 times on repeat on the way to work the other day.... Its hypnotizing and makes me wanna spit somethin too.... haha
