NAS – IT AIN’T HARD TO TELL FEAT . THE LARGE PROFESSOR (REMIX)

Lyrics

Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Nas, uh
yo, yo. life, they wonder. Can they take me under? Nah, never that!
Yo?, yo?, I come from the housin? tenement buildings
Unlimited killings, menaces marked for death
Better known as the projects where junkies and rock
heads dwell
Though I owe to it my success
Well, survival of the fittest every day as a child
I would think I'm a part of USA and be proud
Confronted with racism, started to feel foreign
Like the darker you are the realer your problems
I reached for the stars, but I just kept slippin
On this life mission never know what's next
Ain't your king from Fiji, welcome Julius Caesar
Had a piece of the globe, every continent
There was Asia, Africa, Europe, France, Japan
Pakistan, America, Afghanistan
yo there was Protestants, Jews, Blacks, Arabics
Call a truce, world peace, stop actin like savages
No war, we should take time and think
The bombs and tanks makes mankind extinct
but since the beginnin? of time, it?s been man with
arms fightin?
Lost lives in the towers and Pentagons
Why then must it on, we must stop the killin?
Tell me why we die, we all God?s children
All this hate can't last forever
It's time that we stand together
Everybody wants to rule the world
Come on (World...world....world...)
Peace (World...world....world...)
Peace (World...world....world...)
Peace (World...world....world...)
All those brothers on the block posted up like they
own it
That's Daytona from New York to California
Got blocks locked down
Like dog, you safe whenever you with me
See, this is my town
So the youngstas, pros, and ghettos goes to prison
At a early age, already know it's against them
So in order for him to survive one day
He must open up his eyes to the set backs ?
Cause everybody wants a shot in this land of
opportunity
Look at what this country's got
There shouldn't be nobody homeless
How can the President fix all the problems when he ain't
fixed home yet
The earth wasn't made for one man to rule alone
To all colors and creeds is to whom it belongs
I want land, mansions, banks and gold
The diamonds in Africa, oil in my control
The world's natural resources own its residuals
But then comes foes, I have to guard it with missiles
And I become the most wanted
But is it worth hearin a million people problems and
followed by secret service
I guess attempts at my life are loaded barrels
So move over Colin Powell, just throw in a towel, yo
All this hate can't last forever
It?s time that we stand together
Everybody wants to rule the world
Come on (World...world....world...)
Peace (World...world....world...)
Peace (World...world....world...)
Peace (World...world....world...)
Y'all know that's my style and hit you at the right time
No other compares to what Nas write down
Tell you my dreams, show you my pain is yours
You could get what you love, be a chain to cause
You alive right now
There' so many that' dead or locked up inside the
beast
Imma holler it now
It' whatever man think?ll manifest to be real
The plan is to wake up cause time reveals
All this hate can' forever last
All my ghetto heroes in heaven i's like you right
here and never passed
You just transcend, I know I' gonna see you again
Hopin? I'l reach the world leaders and win
Aint' nothing without struggle, listen up, it's
critical
We used to fear arms, now the weapons are chemical
In hip-hop the weapons are lyrical
To be the best you challenge the best, and the blessing is spiritual
Top of the world for the kid none less
popping any Rappers head off his shoulders, no contest
I know the most high hear me, so far you can't hear me
You scared of a mirror
My theory is that knowledge is power
To every projects and every street corner
We gotta get out of this now
All this hating lasts forever
It's time that we stand together
Everybody wants to rule the world

Paroles (Traduction)

Ouais
Ouais, ouais, ouais, ouais
Nas, hein
Yo, yo. La vie, ils se demandent. Peuvent-ils me faire tomber ? Non, jamais ça !
Yo ?, yo ?, je viens des immeubles de logements
Des meurtres illimités, des menaces marquées pour la mort
Mieux connu sous le nom de projets où les junkies et les accros
se retrouvent
Bien que je doive mon succès à cela
Eh bien, la survie du plus fort chaque jour enfant
Je pensais être une partie des États-Unis et être fier
Confronté au racisme, j'ai commencé à me sentir étranger
Comme si plus sombre tu es, plus réels sont tes problèmes
Je visais les étoiles, mais je continuais à glisser
Sur cette mission de vie, jamais savoir ce qui vient ensuite
N'est pas ton roi de Fidji, bienvenue Jules César
Avait un morceau du globe, chaque continent
Il y avait l'Asie, l'Afrique, l'Europe, la France, le Japon
Le Pakistan, l'Amérique, l'Afghanistan
yo il y avait des protestants, des juifs, des noirs, des arabes
Faisons une trêve, paix mondiale, arrêtons d'agir comme des sauvages
Pas de guerre, nous devrions prendre le temps de réfléchir
Les bombes et les chars rendent l'humanité éteinte
mais depuis le début du temps, c'est l'homme avec
des armes qui se battent
Des vies perdues dans les tours et au Pentagone
Pourquoi alors doit-il continuer, nous devons arrêter de tuer
Dis-moi pourquoi nous mourons, nous sommes tous les enfants de Dieu
Toute cette haine ne peut pas durer éternellement
Il est temps que nous nous tenions ensemble
Tout le monde veut gouverner le monde
Allez (Monde...monde....monde...)
Paix (Monde...monde....monde...)
Paix (Monde...monde
