Alright, already, the show goes on

All night 'til the morning, we dream so long

Anybody ever wonder when they would see the sun go

Just remember when you come up, the show goes on

 

 

Alright, already, the show goes on

All night 'til the morning, we dream so long

Anybody ever wonder when they would see the sun go?

Just remember when you come up, the show goes on

 

 

Have you ever had the feelin' that you was bein' had?

Don't that shit there make you mad? They treat you like a slave

Put chains all on your soul and put whips up on your back

They be lyin' through they teeth, hope you slip up off your path

 

 

I don't switch up, I just laugh, put my kicks up on they desk

Unaffected by they threats, then get busy on they ass

See, that's how that Chi-Town made me, that's how my daddy raised me

That glitterin' may not be gold, don't let nobody play me

 

 

If you are my homeboy, you'll never have to pay me

Go on and put your hands up when times is hard, you stand up

L-U-P the man, 'cause the brand that the fans trust

So even if they ban us, they'll never slow my plans up

 

 

Alright, already, the show goes on

All night 'til the morning, we dream so long

Anybody ever wonder when they would see the sun go

Just remember when you come up, the show goes on

 

 

Alright, already, the show goes on

All night 'til the morning, we dream so long

Anybody ever wonder when they would see the sun go

Just remember when you come up, the show goes on

 

 

One in the air for the people ain't here

Two in the air for the father that's there

Three in the air for the kids in the ghetto

Four for the kids that don't wanna be there

 

 

None for the niggas tryin' to hold them back

Five in the air for the teachers not scared

To tell those kids that's livin' in the ghetto

That the niggas holdin' back that the world is theirs

 

 

Yeah, the world is yours, I was once that little boy

Terrified of the world, now I'm on a world tour

I will give up everything even start a world war

For these ghetto girls and boys, I'm rappin' 'round the world for

 

 

Africa to New York, Haiti, then I detour

Oakland out to Auckland, Gaza Strip to Detroit

Say hip hop only destroy, tell 'em look at me, boy

I hope your son don't have a gun and never be a D-boy

 

 

Alright, already, the show goes on

All night 'til the morning, we dream so long

Anybody ever wonder when they would see the sun go

Just remember when you come up, the show goes on

 

 

Alright, already, the show goes on

All night 'til the morning, we dream so long

Anybody ever wonder when they would see the sun go

Just remember when you come up, the show goes on

 

 

So no matter what you been through, no matter what you into

No matter what you see when you look outside your window

Brown grass or green grass, picket fence or barbed wire

Never ever put them down, you just lift your arms higher

 

 

Raise 'em 'til your arms tired let 'em know you here

That you struggling, survivin', that you gon' persevere

Yeah, ain't nobody leavin', nobody goin' home

Even if they turn the lights out, the show is goin' on

 

 

Alright, already, the show goes on

All night 'til the morning, we dream so long

Anybody ever wonder when they would see the sun go

Just remember when you come up, the show goes on

 

 

Alright, already, the show goes on

All night 'til the morning, we dream so long

Anybody ever wonder when they would see the sun go

Just remember when you come up, the show goes on
