Gain the World Lyrics by Rebel Diaz

Radical Dilemma

2013

[Intro: G1]
They say, they say, they say
They say, they say, they say
They say, they say, they say
They say, they say, they say
They say
[Chorus: G1 + Bob Marley]
They say, "don't worry 'bout nothing"
I say, "gotta worry about something"
You may fuck around, go hungry
If you ain't gettin' this money, just don't
Don't gain the world and lose your soul
Just don't
Don't gain the world and lose your soul
[Verse 1: G1]
Ride around, we get it
Ride around, get netted
By the long arm of that law
That can kill you, get away with it
Even if you mindin' your business
Makin' sure the feds ain't listening
Any words that you mention can land yo' ass in prison
That's that Brave New World we live in
You good until you go and question
Why the hoods in this condition
Now you should pay close attention
Money ain't a thing but a chicken wing
Come and go like a boomerang
Are you a boss or are you a slave?
Gettin' paid, but what have we gained?
I'm worried 'bout me, but I'm worried 'bout you
'Cause I can't succeed if you don't do, too
One is the loneliest number
Have it all but won't have slumber
I sleep with one eye open 'cause you boastin'
While so many filled with hunger turn to hatred
'Cause you make shit in the matrix
[Chorus: G1 + Bob Marley]
They say, "don't worry 'bout nothing"
I say, "gotta worry about something"
You may fuck around, go hungry
If you ain't gettin' this money, just don't
Don't gain the world and lose your soul
Just don't
Don't gain the world and lose your soul
[Verse 2: RodStarz]
I gotta be the one to stand up for this
The view is different when you in the forest
Livin' morbid moments and the police rollin'
All alone and the rain is pourin'
The language foreign, the people cold
The food is warm on a lonely road
Trees are good, put you in the zone
Doin' that work, different timezone
Beautiful island, beautiful people
Beautiful view with the eye of an eagle
Call me "illegal" but you just arrived
I make music to love and survive
But to my surprise, they want my demise
Work too much, I'm too damn fly
We have the blues, but we never cry
We just deliver the flow from the Chia [?]
Flow on the beat, B to the X
This is the way that the ghetto express
It's all I got, nothing left
Nothing less, what you expect?
Raised by the Left, so I give it my best
With every breath, with every beat that's in my chest
Say life like a game of chess
I'm just tryna figure out what piece to move next
Holdin' the text, readin' the book
You holdin' a tec, you buildin' with crooks, they pay yo checks
I build the hood while I earn my respect
[Bridge]
The whole thing was built on respect
And kids, the whole thing was based on kids
And kids haven't got it back
All our splurging, cannons, the rims, and everything else is a slap -
This is giving kids a false image of hip-hop
[Chorus: G1 + Bob Marley]
They say, "don't worry 'bout nothing"
I say, "gotta worry about something"
You may fuck around, go hungry
If you ain't gettin' this money, just don't
Don't gain the world and lose your soul
Just don't
Don't gain the world and lose your soul
