What a World - Intellectual

[Chorus: Chester French]

What do you see when you look at me and I'm just standing there?

Shit that make a robot twerk, that's what's in my blood

And I won't stop until I drop, 'cause my life's just burning out

So I'll keep climbing and won't look down until I reach the top

What a world, what a world, what a world, what a world

[Verse 1: Common]

A little boy from Chicago had dreams to be a star

And make a way and get some pay and drive a fancy car

Though his mama used to say to him, "Aye boy, just go to school"

But whether it was old or new, in school he broke the rules

[Chorus: Chester French]

What do you see when you look at me and I'm just standing there?

Shit that make a robot twerk, that's what's in my blood

And I won't stop until I drop, 'cause my life's just burning out

So I'll keep climbing and won't look down until I reach the top

What a world, what a world, what a world, what a world

[Verse 2: Common]

Now his whole life he told his boys, "Hey y'all, I'm going to rap"

So when he got a rap contract, it wasn't no turning back

Now his mama, she would say to him, "You need to get get back in school"

And all the trash that the peoples say, he was using that for fuel

[Chorus: Chester French]

What do you see when you look at me and I'm just standing there?

Shit that make a robot twerk, that's what's in my blood

And I won't stop until I drop, 'cause my life's just burning out

So I'll keep climbing and won't look down until I reach the top

What a world, what a world, what a world, what a world

[Verse 3: Common]

And the story goes on and on, it goes on and on and on

They say, "Hey boy, you rap real good, but you ain't making no hit songs"

So he'd tell himself, "Yo yo yo, self, you gotta do it the way you do

And make this music from your soul and make it fresh and new"

[Chorus: Chester French]

What do you see when you look at me and I'm just standing there?

Shit that make a robot twerk, that's what's in my blood

And I won't stop until I drop, 'cause my life's just burning out

So I'll keep climbing and won't look down until I reach the top

What a world, what a world, what a world, what a world

[Verse 4: Common]

Then the game it started to change, they say, music, it ain't the same

Though he remained, the song he sang is, "Keep your drive, stay in your lane"

Inch by inch the people came, they started to know his name and say, "Do your thang"

Now the whole whole world singing his song

From Chicago, a star is born

[Chorus: Chester French]

What do you see when you look at me and I'm just standing there?

Shit that make a robot twerk, that's what's in my blood

And I won't stop until I drop, 'cause my life's just burning out

So I'll keep climbing and won't look down until I reach the top

What a world, what a world, what a world, what a world
