Who’s World is This Lyrics

Live from the city of dreams
You see I wrote and bag this dope in hopes of prettier things
If hope floats I took the boat up to the city of Queens
But phony niggas showed me quick this ain't the city of scenes
Hey! Fish out of water from the city of the dreamers
When young niggas feinding for them big body beamers
They told us we can have the world if I can get a deal
Maybe I could show the Ville that it's real

I put this on everything, I love
This is, my sweat and uhh my blood
(Who's world is this) You know it's mine
Boy I'm ready, it's my time, I got that flow to blow your mind
(Who's world is this) I'm gon ball
And uhh I'm gon shine and uhh I won't fall
(Who's world is this) I thought I told you this is my world baby
(It's mine, it's mine, it's mine)

Hey, straight out the Ville and I made it, hope you feeling my latest
Ayy what I spit on these pages highly anticipated, contagious
So when I spit it you gonna get it
Slightly different from these rappers who just spit but don't live it, see
I ain't no flashy nigga so don't expect me to floss
These niggas out here rappin with their fucking fingers crossed
I was a dreamer then I came up with a plan
Where I land I put it all on gods hands
I put this on everything, I love
This is, my sweat and uhh my blood
(Who's world is this) You know it's mine
Boy I'm ready, it's my time, I got that flow to blow your mind
(Who's world is this) I'm gon ball
And uhh I'm gon shine and uhh I won't fall
(Who's world is this) I thought I told you this is my world baby

And I feel like I got a loong way to go
And still I got a loong way to go
Feel like I got a loong way to go

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
