Everybody Wants To Rule The World (feat. Lalah Hathaway & Common) – Robert Glasper
By
Welcome to your life There’s no turning back Even while we sleep We will find you
Acting on your best behaviour Turn your back on Mother Nature Everybody wants to rule the world Everybody, everybody
It’s my own design It’s my own remorse Help me to decide Help me make the
Most of freedom and of pleasure Nothing ever lasts forever (Nothing is gonna last) Everybody wants to rule the world (Everybody wanna rule the world) Everybody, everybody (Everybody wanna rule the world)
There’s a room where the light won’t find you Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down When they do, I’ll be right behind you
So glad we almost made it So sad we had to fade it Everybody wants to rule the world
As we move through time and space And we all try to find our place So many rulers, but who leads with grace, yeah
Greet ’em with the freedom, when I see ’em, yo, I read ’em Scriptures of humanity, the spirit’s colosseum Step in the arena, my Medina, yo, my Mecca Life is greener where there’s texture, the meaning of the sceptre Gods’ rule is better, we move through your trepidation It’s a nation searching for it’s foundation Mother Nature’s relation, you see agitation So many admirables with no admiration This is verbal vaccination, how do you react to it? We needed Black Radio for pure Black music The path to movement, show improve, improvement For our homes and domes, we all had to move with The times, as the world heals, we climb It’s no back to normal, ’cause normal don’t recline I’m a portal for rhymes, ask Shonda I bridge tons of minds, so everyone can conquer One rule, one mantra, you got me, then I got ya The posture of a Rasta I reconsider, I reevolve I reconstruct, I see the I, we in all We got understanding, then there’s no need to fall You know I got bars, so there’s no need to brawl Tryna change hearts like the angels did Saul And pierce the Devil with the truth like Paul, that’s all
