Duke Al - TAKE ON THE WORLD Lyrics

Ladies and gentlemen, can I have your attention please

Time to deafen all the heathens I'm surrounded by
They don't believe in me, they're trying to get me crucified
Call the reverend, gonna need him for an alibi
There's a heaven, so no reason to be scared of dying

I see all your heads turn, you jealous fake
Rather see a man struggle than a man be great
You envy us dream catches in your envious ways
I break the new and scale faith, holds the heaviest weight

I know you don't understand, so you go against
Come together, relish, hate, a man is frail when he's afraid
I turn the other cheek, my calling's more important than to listen to the weak
Blinded by the many, they're awake but they're asleep

Hear me speak, I'm walking on the tears that they weep
My future success is why you hate me
I see you're impressed but you still bet against me
I rise higher than the skies, I guess that's why I look down on you

Cause you underestimate me
I planted the seed so I could see growth
You only follow me when I succeed though
You want a bite from the apple, my tree grows

I can tell Adam from Eve, Apple ID knows
You're a snake with a sour taste
I devour hate with my faith, I'm powered by the great

I ain't got nothing to lose, maybe something to prove
Nearly suffered the noose but I refuse to be fooled
Had enough of abuse, I take control of my mind
I'm tougher than you, every day is a struggle

Fighting bare knuckle, till they bleed and they bruise
No pickaxe, no shovel, I was given no tools
I'm scraping through the rubble just to get to the views
Cause I had to take the rough with the smooth

You can't take away my spirit, not even in the death of me
I will live to be my vision, Bettany
I tried so hard for peace but you haters wanna start with me
You'd rather pick a bone with a thug than have harmony

Take on the world
Take on the world
Nobody can hurt me
Take on the world

Take on the world
I only fear GOD
