Dilated Peoples - World On Wheels Lyrics






[Verse 1]
Yo I grew up in Mid-City near World on Wheels
After Reaganomics crack came and more blood spill
I gotta tell shorties now I don't pop pills
The only ecstacy I fuck with rolls with Jalil
No grip, straight line rhymes
Like the grand concourse on 149
In LA the riders ridge was Fairfax and Olympic ??
On the block the Ethiopians kick it (salaam)
You'll learn Angel City'll test you
I move through giving respect where respect's due
Ducking these cops who say they serve to protect you
And handlin my biz so I ain't tryin to impress you
It's mind over matter, crew over money
I do strategy, I don't act sporadically
I contemplate, cat I move mathematically
It's Alchemist with Dilated, that's family

[Chorus]
Still a couple lessons I can teach
How the real fiends cop two each
The game is keeping dope in the streets
So look the world on wheels
Still a couple lessons I can teach
How the real heads rock real beats
Bangin out the illest rides on the streets
Look at the world on wheels

[Verse 2]
Peace King, peace haki, peace queen
I only leave em in pieces if they step in the ring
They're fumbling and wondering what weapon to bring
I'm like Ice-T, I know my lethal weapon'll swing
Stop the presses, block the doors
Cops oppress us, watch the wolves
But all the friendly fire is worse than oppression
Pressure more stressin is poured in dead presidents
(Rakaa) Fights for your rights is my pleasure
But suckers swing rulers like swords that try to measure
While Slick Rick the ruler's at war with INS yo
I hope the young fly their best yo
Hip-hop desert again, it's like Busy Bee's buzzin again
My patience is thin though
I ventilate em like I cracked the window and air it out like a Hail Mary to
the end zone

[Chorus]

When I'm all out, I cause panic (peace summits)
When I move stealth (it's mysteries and who-done-its)
I made mental notes of who's fam and who frontin
Mental notes of who ran shit and who runnin
It's mind over matter, crew over money
I do strategy, I don't act sporadically
I contemplate, cat I move mathematically
Create to devastate crew, that's family

[Chorus]

    Man This Song brings back bittersweet memories for me. World On Wheels isnt just a Metaphor used it here it also represents The Former Roller Skating rink(World On Wheels was closed down for good in June 2013 due to bankruptcy and so called urban(read corporate) development. As a former roller skater/dancer turned longtime DJ at world on wheels (14 years) I can tell you that in the 80's and even part of the 90's, W.O.W was a hip hop hotbed for Los Angelinos  as many rap artists have been through those doors because it was a hip hop rite of passage so to speak (along with KDAY 1580 the very first 24 hour hip hop station). from LA Dream Team(west coast pioneers) and world Class wreaking Crew(Dr. Dre's First Group) to Ice T, Eazy E, N.W.A even LL Cool J and a host of others! It was the place to be but it wasnt always safe especially in the late 80's where going to W.O.W was like playing Russian roulette(Car jackings, gang shootouts, beat downs etc.)  which was understandable considering it was situated between 3 separate Gang neighborhoods but alot has changed in mid city. And for the guy who referred to it as ratchet on wheels, if you had really been a regular there you would have known better than to say something foolish like that Truth be told, Sherman Square(Reseda,CA) SKate Junction(West Covina,CA) and Skate Depot (Cerritos/Long Beach,CA) were more ratchet than World On Wheels in later years (90's and beyond). But Big Ups To Dialated (Rakaa,Evidence,DJ Babu) for the flashback! BTW Evidence handles the majority of Production for the crew not Babu! 

    L.... C....

    thank you, man

  38. M.... M....

  42. H.... D....

    Fo real man. Real talk. Sick of seeing 'people who have disliked this are lil wayne lovers', nah people who have disliked this just don't like it

  43. M.... ....

    That was some real hip hope not todays shit!

  44. �.... G....

    Mac miller was good on K.I.D.S but after that just fell of imo

  45. G.... L....

    Dilated Peoples...........F*CKING RULE!

  46. �.... S....

    Half a mil views ain't exactly underground lol

  47. C.... ....

    Dilated is underground!

  48. R.... S....

    Respect from Chile !!!!

  49. A.... A....

    De qué tema sacan el sample de fondo?

  50. b.... ....

    saying "Lil' wayne is whack compared to DP" is like saying "Justin Beiber is whack compared to Bob Marley" 1. There's nothing similar/fimiliar or related about them or their music genre (despite what you think Hip Hop encompasses) 2. Not only so they do opposite genres of music, they do opposite qualities of opposite genres of music i.e. Wayne does the dummy masses/kids while DP does the minority (real heads and original hip-hop fans) AND 3. Don't compare a roller skate to a corvette.

  51. G.... Y....

    basotq de loopings de natos y waor jajaja

  52. j.... m....

    Dope song respect from Spain

  53. R.... R....

  64. G.... ....

    still a couple lessons I could teach ^^

  65. p.... ....

    I remember when all comments used to be clever. Sometimes even when some video wasn't nice, some nice people could repait it due comments. I could read some good lines, laugh at some jokes etc. Now i can read only about people who are ofending some popular rap star or arguing about what is, or what is not "real" hip hop.
    People please, If you don't have anything interesting to say, just don't open your mouth.
    Peace from Poland!

  66. k.... l....

    Lil wayne isnt even near this shit. His a fake ass wack rapper.

  67. w.... ....

    I believe he put Dilated Peoples before the greater sign sir, not after it.

  68. 1.... ....

    why is lil wayne and drake in the same list as Dilated Peoples?... Are you Kidding me!?!.... you cannot compare Dilated to Wayne... thats fucking insulting

  69. w.... ....

    do you read backwards or something?

  70. j.... ....

    the difference between the firts and the rest of them is music they made itself. just dilated made hiphop, lilwayne's or drake's or cudi's ain't hiphop definetly.

  71. J.... V....

    Man o' man
