[Verse 1]
I ain't never been scared of death homey
Y'all lived terrified and I been verified
But you ain't ever see a check on me
I'm God fearin' plus I got God steerin'
So a crash is slim to none
In the past we was missin' funds
That's in the past, let's just start livin' different
Young-ins out here lookin' up to me
They show love, I think that love's more reluctantly
They say he gettin' old and I know he won't make it fam
Yeah I'm gettin' old, I hold my promises like Abraham
And I promise Marcel that I'm gonna make it fam
And I got the city with me every time I make a jam
And I heard that they're hatin', I'm a make em scram
And flood the block like I ain't never gave a damn
And I ain't here for the fakin' fam
I feel like a failure if I see you didn't make it man

[Chorus]
I'll go against the world for ya
They hate us but they love our work
I'll go against the world for ya
They want to devalue your worth
I'll go against the world for ya
You're beautiful and their lies won't work
I'll go against the world for ya
Cause you mean the world to me

[Verse 2]
Yeah, right, right, right, heh, yeah, yeah
God willin' I'll see tomorrow’s sun
If I’m out of time let me borrow some
Lord I need a minute, let me spit it
I don’t need a witness
Know I kill every time, but when you rhyme
They seem to love more dead than when alive, uh
See Easy, see Big L, see Dilla
How Ironic, when you gone than they feel ya
They told me keep it real but I keep it realer
Say we sick but the song is the healer
Turn the bass up high
Tryna get my [?]
Minute that I wake up
'Til the day I face the sky
I’m tryin' to find peace of mind
Ain’t too much peace to find
Tell the sun I need to shine
Tell the world I’m tryin' to lead the line
I had a vision I could lead the blind
I got a penny for my thoughts
And made a wish at the well
My plan B is make sure plan A don’t fail, man

[Chorus]
I'll go against the world for ya
They hate us but they love our work
I'll go against the world for ya
They want to devalue your worth
I'll go against the world for ya
You're beautiful and their lies won't work
I'll go against the world for ya
Cause you mean the world to me

[Verse 3]
I heard these cops hate niggas
So we use our cell phones to record videos
And we take pictures
But I guess it's not real evidence
So we got a battle ground in our residence
Mr. President do you hear me?
It's clearly an issue when my black skin makes them all fear me
It's like we got a hashtag quota
And we over shoot them numbers yearly
And I hear it through the chatter
They made it clear that black bodies don't matter
And I ain't really here for the dissin'
But yellin' "all lives matter" just whitewash the mission
And we keep marchin' till our feet hurt
We've been tryin' to make this peace work
And these tears drenchin' my t-shirt
And I can't sit around and let my people be hurt

[Chorus]
I'll go against the world for ya
They hate us but they love our work
I'll go against the world for ya
They want to devalue your worth
I'll go against the world for ya
You're beautiful and their lies won't work
I'll go against the world for ya
Cause you mean the world to me
