24 Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If I could rule the world, for only a day
I promise all my nigga's be paid
And I promise all my fam'd be paid

And I'd make all you groupie bitches get saved
Love me or hate me it wouldn't matter, you all would know Trevor
And I'd erase all of that two-term bullshit
And Barack would run the US forever
Even ask him to smoke one, get high and give two shits

Even though I hate politics
He gave me hope and I acknowledge it
I ain't naive, I know he really don't run shit

And if you disagree then I'd be forced to give yo' ass a scholarship
I'd release the cure for cancer and the cure for AIDS
Create a cure for ignorance and make you ride the wave
And make niggas safe from cause of those fucking jails (?)
And Instagram your degree before your fucking waves
And I ain't fronting like I graduated college
But bein' blessed with the knowledge that I've acquired
I'll only use to inspire
Don't wanna sound like I'm preaching to the choir
But be a king, nigga, build a empire
And be a queen, baby, build your Mufasa
Then raise your castle and it'll turn into Contra
And I remove all of my chains, niggas threaten these (?)
Don't mind me, I'm just speaking hypothetically
[Hook]
If I ruled the world
Only a day, I'm talking 24 hours
You get all of the money, the respect and the power
Are we gon' claim whats rightfully ours?

If I ruled the world
I'm talking 24 hours, for only a day
I promise all my niggas be straight
I mean I promise all my fam'd be straight

[Verse 2]
If I could rule the world, for only a day
I'd shoot every crooked cop in the face
Cuz young niggas doing triple-life sentences
For some fucking images that these bastards create
And honestly I think they all plotting
But we be hoodied up for Treyvon Martin and keep them ARs poppin'
And we wouldn't have to post no bail
We would celebrate life, get drunk and even load more shells
I'd try to teach hood niggas that there's more to life
Than that 20-block radius they know so well
I'd teach 'em how to fly

I'd teach young girls how to love with their hearts and their minds
And not whats between their thighs
I'd try to educate the masses
Cuz life is way more than they teach you in them classes
And if you scared to die then you scared to try
You're gonna die, it's inevitable my nigga, live your life
Cuz young niggas getting killed over their pride
Dont make a baby momma homie, make a wife
And make my people come together not divide
Cuz shade doesn't fucking matter, dog, co-light (?)
I'd even tell Sally May to go and fuck herself
And give your badass kids that mo'fucking belt
I'd make my son so allergic to a lazy ho
And I'd take that bullshit off the radio
[Hook 2]
If I ruled the world
I'm talking only a day, I'm talking 24 hours
You get all of the money, the respect and the power
Are we gon' claim whats rightfully ours?

If I ruled the world
But I don't, I rule my world

[Verse 3]
See my world is different to yours
Too many deja-vus and I've-been-here-befores
But watching yourself grow is a sight to see
And with a past like mine you wouldn't wanna try new things
Put what I want you to know on the table
You look past it cos every fucking thing I try to hide you see
The sex must be amazing
Not only going raw but basing both of our futures off an IUD
Hoping we fall in that 99 percentile
Either way I wouldn't change nothing about us
Anticipating the day you see your kids smile
And pray custody battles will never be the outcome
I've been there twice
And with no regrets shorty, guess thats life
The scorned woman is a woman that I never knew about
But idle threats and child support I could do without
Ya see my daughters mom
See she an act for real
If I can't love her then I can't see my kid
I tried to get it through her fucking head this ain't a package deal
And if she think I'mma fall then she can eat a dick
I'm busy living, she spending time writing me
I'm trying to grasp life in its entirety
Not even knowing that all of this shit is tiring
While I'm busy trying to figure out who hiring
I just wanna give my kids the life I never had
And honestly I know that I could be a better dad
But knowing, and not trying thats a deadbeat
Knowing and doing something see that's where Trevor at
I'm just waiting on my time
Praying I reach that before I reach my prime
Right now all I can do is live my life
I know my world ain't perfect, but its mine
If I ruled the world...
