Marvin Gaye
The World Could be Yours
[Verse One: Big Marc]
At the start of our journey together you couldn't tear us apart
We was like Jenny and Forrest, peas and carrots
Rings with karats, and it seen people starin'
Hoes lovin my style, n***as love jeans you was wearin
Carryin on, this love jones heatin my soul
Like a pot of auntie collard greens on top of the stove
You keep the business on the low like pullin Daytons and Vogues
You keep me puffin on some purple and you don't even smoke
But hold up! You flippin the script, say I fuck around
But you talkin nonsense like a gat with no clip
That's why a n***a jumped ship, I might as well do my thang
Them jealous hoes on your end sprinklin salt in my game
You think I'm a lame, but honestly you hatin my fame
You mad every time pretty dimes call out my name
You know it's a shame, you keep shit goin like plumbers
Get yo' belongings, get the fuck out and go live wit'cha momma

[Hook: Da Backwudz]
The world could be yours, but you fucked it all up
Cause you got me fed all up
It's to a point now where a n***a fists stay balled up
My patience been used all up
The world could be yours, but you fucked it all up
Sayin you' gon get me caught up
You know I wasn't cheatin girl, I just went to buy the mall up
Let me find a ho to call up
[Verse Two: Sho Nuff]
Shorty when we first kicked it off, I met her at the mall
Standin five feet tall, thick big booty broad
Finest chick I ever saw, remind me of Halle
But she love to roll reefer drive a Chevrolet with Rally's
Shorty used to live in Cali, now she in Atlanta
Say she love my country grammar while she peelin my banana
Hey! Now we spendin so much quality time
The other women on my mind I left 'em stranded behind
See we both were movin up, like George and Louise
I never thought that you would be my only fish in the sea
But take it from me, everything ain't peaches and cream
She started screenin all my calls, never trusted in me
Ya followin' me, always wanna argue with me
And cut up my clothes, faded all my Guess and Girbaud's
This shit gettin old, it's time for me to hop the fence
The world coulda been yours if you had some sense

[Hook]

[Verse Three: Sho Nuff & Big Marc]
Shit what's the deal pimp? You know how I feel pimp
Look shorty be trippin when I be tryin to chill pimp
N***a you f'real pimp? Mayne she on the ill tip
Threw away my ounce cause she think I wanna friend here
Let me tell you this though, I can't believe this ho What?
Had the nerve to come over my crib and show her asshole
Man what she do folk? Cussin' out my kinfolk
Scratched up my Cutlass and she busted out my window
Man I think I'm through folk Shit I know I'm through look
Shorty got more problems than the pages in a math book
Shoulda got her ass whooped man folk don't even take it there
Them hoes ain't good for nothin but showin' what's in they underwear
N***a ask me if I care, dude I gotta let her go
I'm tired of the drama and the law knockin at my do'
Look, do what you gotta do, I'mma do the same too
Push her to the curb like the way I do my 22's
