Out In The World Lyrics - Dead Prez

Now there's two things that's the same 

In every hood, in every ghetto across the world 

And that's struggle, and that's dreams 

In my hood, Southside Tallahassee, FL 

I had both of those, still got both of those 

Ima let you in on somethin real quick 

Let's take it back to the early 90s 

Taleho, Florida is where you'll find me 

'78 Omega automobile I'm driving 

Bass bamblin with the wind behind me 

Hitch from the attic is the name of the crew 

Coz road shows and hoes that's all we do 

And all three P's believe me, we got that hot shit 

To the point that nigga 'bout to quit on college 

Parents upset coz I shat on school 

Beat spot got hot so I'm playin' it cool 

Crew movin' to New York, I'm 22 years old 

My girl's stayin' coz she's scared of the cold 

Out in the world 

(Where you tryin' to make it at) 

Out in the world 

(Where they tryin' to take it at) 

Out in the world 

(Where my folk tryin' to get fat) 

Out in the world 

(And every time get set back) 

Out in the world 

(Where my dawgs at?) 

Out in the world 

(Uh huh, fo sho) 

(Where my folk gonna stay strong) 

Out in the world 

(Niggas move on) 

Now I'm in the Brook, how I indicate her 

Whole different look, different sound and flavor 

Washin dishes at the Hotel Four Seasons 

15 an hour, don't plan on leavin' 

Homesick, skippin' work every weekend 

Went down, found out my girl was cheatin' 

Heart broke, tired, started freakin' 

Year later terminated for no reason 

Got a new girl as the leaves turn brown 

Seein' me stressed said she would hold me down 

Had to move to the Bronx where the crooks be juxin 

Sold my first track, moved back to Brooklyn 

Music 101, the whole game is dirty 

Got me 25, feelin' all of 30 

Went from a lover to straight up hustler 

Stressed a lot, developed clusters 

Out in the world 

(Where you tryin' to make it at) 

Out in the world 

(Where they tryin' to take it at) 

Out in the world 

(Where my folk tryin' to get fat) 

Out in the world 

(And every time get set back) 

Out in the world 

(Where my dawgs at?) 

Out in the world 

(Uh huh, fo sho) 

(Where my folk gonna stay strong) 

Out in the world 

(Niggas move on) 

2 G, Y2K bug is gone 

Put my gas mask back 'coz them lights is on 

Dead Prez in the stores and the streets is groovin' 

Hi, I'm still broke and my beats is movin' 

Gotta grind harder 'coz my bills is major 

Got a cell phone, had to dead the pager 

Can't blame the game 'coz the game don't feed you 

Can't blame the world 'coz the world don't need you 

Seem like every excuse I use is see-through 

Help myself first, then help my people 

'Coz folks sells hope, runnin' scams to burn me 

Wash me, comb me, relax and perm me 

Gotta get control and stop this car from swerving 

Now I'm kinda cold, only the doe concerns me 

Try to spend less than the amount I'm earnin' 

Lessons everyday I'm learnin' 

Out in the world 

(Where you tryin' to make it at) 

Out in the world 

(Where they tryin' to take it at) 

Out in the world 

(Where my folk tryin' to get phat) 

Out in the world 

(And every time get set back) 

Out in the world 

(Where my dawgs at?) 

Out in the world 

(Uh huh, fo sho) 

(Where my folk gonna stay strong) 

Out in the world 

(Niggas move on)
