[Intro]

Come on y'all, let's go

Yeah

Yo, yo, yo


[Verse 1]

From the bottom we risen

Systemically, flow

Rapidly half of these emcees fall off drastically

I'm vicious with this, that's how it has to be, my team backin' me, create a masterpiece

Put it out like Master P in actuality


[Chorus: Powerule #1 (Powerule #2)]

It's a cold world, yo, reality bites

My mentality strikes, the whole world like fatalities

(It's a rough road, some fold to cash in It's hard to laugh when you stuck on your last ten)

It's a cold world, yo, reality bites

My mentality strikes.the whole world like fatalities

(It's a rough road, some fold to cash in

It's hard to laugh when you stuck on your last ten)


[Verse 2: Powerule #2]

Yo, New York survivalist, street walker, street talker

Game blooded, Johnnie Walker, close my eyes, feel the torture

Cock my iron, see my cipher, we the sheisty types are nicer

No precise, let these sheisty types just price us

So I, re-enforce my team, endorse my crew with cream

Enstill the ghetto dream, steal with the infra' beam

Focus and follow, the motto, there's no tomorrow

Why bother when I could blast 'em, cash in, sit back laughin' Ha-ha

Money is power, and power allower Young nigga to tower, crush, kill and devour

Fuck swimmin' in debt, livin' check to check

Rather use intellect, clickin' my connects

Who next? Who wanna flex and fuck around with Rah?

Put your whole project on lock, engrave my name on your block

See, better me than hotta, snatchin' your only dollar

Young beggar, Nevada, bringin' you all the drama


[Chorus: Powerule #1 (Powerule #2)]

It's a Cold World, yo, reality bites

My mentality strikes, the whole world like fatalities

(It's a rough road, some fold to cash in It's hard to laugh when you stuck on your last ten)

It's a Cold World, yo, reality bites

My mentality strikes.the whole world like fatalities

(It's a rough road, some fold to cash in

It's hard to laugh when you stuck on your last ten)


[Chorus]

"Make the world go round" (x3)


[Verse 3: Dreddy Kruger]

My Clan is thick like plaster, bust ya, slash ya

Dutch Master rapper, white cracker slapper

Twist darts like Cappa when I smoke trees, before and after

Pass me a dutch.. {*inhales*}

Sit back and listen for a while, and tell me if you heard of this

Slick style is mad murderous

Soft MC came from under his mother's skirt

Tried to flex, and now severely hurt

The reaction was like he got hit by a mad truck

But his moms, she called it bad luck

I get challenged by a brother I mostly hate

Heard my tape, now he wanna negotiate

But I don't make deals so don't tell me you was jokin'

Or coppin' a plea from bein' soft spoken

You're puttin' on a fast front When you've been poppin' shit for the last month

Bust the issue, my nigga Dookey Ripple

Took a shit with no tissue 'cause all he had was a fuckin' nickel

He lived in a buildin' with his wiz and her fo' kids

None of them his and she's fuckin' his man Chiz

But ain't gon' go there, 'cause I'm here

I put MCs in fear with my razor to your ear


[Outro]

What? For the Born-Build

Powerule and Sunz of Man

What?

That's how we do this shit

"Don't want these small times, but I'm invested to be"

"Don't want these small times, but I'm invested to be"

"Don't want these small times, but I'm invested to be"

"Make the world go round"
