Been around the world [Ja Rule] by R. Kelly

INTRO
Light a candle for this one

CHORUS
I’ve been around the world
And gets nothin’ but love
For who I am
I thank my fans so much
And even though some my hate
Still I appreciate
All my friends and family
That kept it real with me

VERSE
I been around the would and back
Like ‘What up?’
East side to West Side tourin’
Like ‘What up?’
And even though the price for the house
Was so much
I’m still roll with them from the hood
Like ‘What up?’
And even though
‘Cause when it comes
to bein’ the realest
I’m sure ‘nuff
Straight up industry villain
For sure ‘nuff
And I can’t satisfy some a ya’ll
No matter what
And some a ya’ll cats are so jealous
And we’re livin’ in a cold cold world
Where there aint nothin’ but
Fake Faces, Fake People, Fake Friends
Said we’re livin’ in a cold cold world
Where there aint nothin’ but
Envy, Wanna-Be’s, Player Haters
Yeah, I know I need a hug
But ya’ll need a hug too
‘Cause God gonna judge me
The same day he judge you
And even though we have our struggles
That’s all right, you know we ghetto folks
Is gonna find a way to shine

CHORUS

VERSE (Ja)
Sometimes this world can be so cold
When you’re lookin’ through the windows of the soul
I been lookin’ to see the truth as it unfolds
‘Cause I been around this globe and back
Enough to know the fact
Who loves me and who loves me not
Nigga she’s so hot
You could put it in red tights
They pump it through every hood, ghetto and block
Until they heart stops
That’s why they fiend for me
And I’m thankful for every blessing that you’ve given me Lord
And I’m thankful for all the talents in my vocal chords
And these haters, I keep shaken ‘em off
Rubbin’ they face in fame
I’m sorry to change the game
But it’s mine and I can’t complain
Rule and R.Kel have been around the world
Puttin’ it on women
And bump n’ and grindin’ these b***
But we always on time
When the woman is fed up
And guess what
That’s why they always with us
‘Cause we

CHORUS

VERSE
Said my lyrics is my testimony
That how I live
I had to get rid of a lotta fake homies
I’ve know for years
You see me on the T.V. sometimes
Not how it is
Ya’ll gotta start learnin’ how to
Seperate me from show biz
When I’m Rollin’ through your city
Show me love
And ladies when you see your boy
Gimme hug
You know I’m not conceded, right?
It’s just my space, sometimes I need it, right?
Said I got so many friends in them area codes that I
Hand out them tickets when it comes to my shows
Jaws break bread together, lets pray together
That we grow strong together
Lets live for ever
Help each other through the stormy weather
Lets hurt together
Lets cry together
And even go broke together
And together we’ll make it better

CHORUS / VAMP OUT
