Nas
Kingdom Come
[Chorus]

[Verse 1]
Never have I ever thought about leaving this world
Going to a place where I can feel secure
From dropping all responsibilities or feeling sadness
I know you all had that feeling, that feelings drastic
What I wouldn’t do to be on top of the world
Or get a hot date with my favorite girl
Life is the main package
But pain is the dlc
I just want some tlc
To be away from my enemies
Drug lords, gang members, and some criminals
They all have feelings, a feeling you felt before
Its true
You don’t think I’ve felt your pain
The pain that will make a man go insane

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Wе all had heroes, a person wе could look up to
We all got mad when that person couldn’t pull through
Whether it be our mammas or our dadas
Or a person that we looked up to behind a screen
The type of person who would want to make us scream laughing
I’m talking Mr. Williams, Don Rickles and Bernie
Have you ever had that gut punch feeling when you learned they died?
When you wonder why God just took that man’s life
Out of all the people in the world, you took him
A man who was trying to repent his sins
I couldn’t understand why he took Kobe and Boseman
Miller, Triple X, Stan Lee, and Bowie
It's hard to live on sometimes
It's hard to lose a man you admired
Bitch I’m tired
[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Sometimes you gotta take things into your own
Hands
Who’s gonna stop this crime, bitch I will
Who’s gonna save our brothers, bitch I can
Is killing ever ok, maybe sometimes man
I seen this one thing on the tv
Of a man who lost his baby daughter
You can see it in his eyes, he just want to slaughter
The killer, so cocky, sitting right up there
The judge speaking, putting the man behind the bars
The camera zooming in close up of the father
The eyes, the flare, just thinking of his daughter
Without a second thought, he jumped, just wanted murder
Now tell me
If you was in his position, would you stay calm and collected
Or would jump into action and make sure that killer regretted the thing he did
I know I would
I know you would
I know we all wanted to murder that one guy
We all human
We ain’t perfect
Just remember, this our world, yeah
[Chorus 2]
This is our world, yeah
This is our world, yeah
This is our world, yeah
This is our world, yeah

[Bridge]
Because sometimes you gotta do the hard things
Sometimes this life pulls on heart strings
It may change you
May rearrange you
But it will never, never, never

(Break)
Who’s world is this?
La la la, la la la, la la la la
Who’s world is this?
La la la, la la la

[Verse 4]
Let’s talk about something
Fuck this world
Fuck it to the ends of hell
How did we ever make it this far
We shall prevail
But we can’t
We can’t listen to each other
We always wanna fight
We are beginning to be divided amongst each other
Men vs. Women
Black vs. White
I would say we are doing good, we won't be alright
I’m sorry children ahead, for all of our mistakes
We tried to make a good world, but it wouldn’t stay
They brought color into everything, for christ’s sake
They rioted until it was rot, for christ's sake
It was a headache
To try and break free
From their crazy point of views
Their was a killing spree
Some stupid fucking cops
Can’t even do their job
Killing innocent people
That was a life rob
Family's sobbing every night
What will we do?
Taking the laces away from their own shoes
Death is becoming more popular every day
From George Floyd, Rayshard Brooks, Breonna Tay
Trust me, those deaths are sad, totally unwanted
But one cop doesn’t represent all the others
All the others that risk their life to save us
Damn, my dad’s a cop but he ain’t like the others, what
[Chorus 3]
This world is yours
This world is yours
This world is yours
This world is yours
This world is yours
This world is yours
Try to make it better

[Verse 5]
We have two dumbass people running for president
Donald Trump, Joe Biden, one is disorient
And one’s a racist bitch
Come on country, one day we will become irrelevant
We aren’t the greatest country, no that is a lie
It is ok to cry, we are suppose to be allies
We can’t even get through this season without somebody being called racist only because they white
A criminal because he’s black
A bastard with a badge
All men should die
And women shut they yap
Social media is bringing us farther, farther away
Maybe Trump should’ve banned that motherfucker anyway, damn

[Chorus 3]
This world is yours
This world is yours
This world is yours
This world is yours
This world is yours
This world is yours
Try to make it better

[Verse 6]
I’m sorry momma, this isn’t the future you had for your kid
Try to take over the world, maybe make it his
Use music as a outlet to help this shit
Stop the insensitivity and the sensitivity
Help you with your insecurities
Put yo mind at ease
Baby girl, know what you need
Many personalities
We can help you with all
If you just let us please
There isn’t just me
There is many to see here
People with the common sense
Always try to learn more
Try to make it to the score
Relationships fall apart
Don’t let your political views break your motherfucking heart
Try to grow it from the start
Make new friends, that’s the art
Don’t have a cow, like bart
Peace achieved on that chart
Brother, you ain’t a bad brother, just wish you visit more
Left me hurt like a sore
It shouldn’t be a chore
But just know I love you
You are everything and more
That’s how it's done in this room
Maybe I should take some shrooms
Take a break from this life or maybe focus on my zoom class
Look away from that ass
You can get a sexual assault felony on that ass
Don’t you smoke up on that grass, or you might get too high
And you don’t know how to fly
Come on just don’t be shy
Live out your life
Don’t try to force your beliefs on other people
Just share, don’t be afraid of them
Like I am with this pen
Head to the chorus again, what

[Chorus 3]
This is your world
Try to make it better

[Verse 7]
This is the last verse then I’m gone
No opinion’s wrong
Respect, live life on
Rocky, no stalling
Tonight, no falling
Fuck you then keep calm
Don’t divide, don’t fall
Unite no squalling
We are evolving
Let’s evolve this right
Trump Supporter, so
Biden Supporter, so
We are all people
Lets care for each oth
We love you, and such
If you are a thug
Religious, or not
Mom or dad, or dog
Kid or guy with drugs
This is us, no shrugs
Go ahead be smug
One day 'Merica
Will be great, I swear
But we have to stand
Hold each other's hands
Then we will be home
And we will be grand
Kingdom come
This is kingdom come

[Outro]
Your strength is from God, Carl, I have no doubt in my mind about that but with that kind of power comes its share of pain
I know, dad
Science, magic, God, that power flows from within, from inside, what comes out when that pressure is heaviest, that’s the real magic, that’s what defines being a man, that’s what defines being a hero
