The Show Goes On

(álbum: Lasers - 2011)

LA-SER
Kane is in the building, nigga

[2x]
Alright
Already the show goes on all night
'Til the morning we dream so long
Anybody ever wonder
When they would see the sun up
Just remember when you come up
The show goes on!

Have you ever had the feeling
That you was being had
Don't that shit that make you mad
They treat you like a slave
With chains all on your soul
And put whips up on your back
They be lying through they teeth
Hope you slip up off your path

I don't switch up I just laugh
Put my kicks up on they desk
Unaffected by their threats
Then get busy on they ass
See that's how that Chi-Town made me
That's how my daddy raised me
That glittering may not be gold
Don't let nobody play me

If you are my homeboy
You never have to pay me
Go on and put your hands up
When times is hard you stand up
L-U-P the man
'Cause the brand
That the fans trust
So even if they ban us
They'll never slow my plans up!

[2x]
Alright
Already the show goes on all night
'Til the morning we dream so long
Anybody ever wonder
When they would see the sun up
Just remember when you come up
The show goes on!

One in the air for the people ain't here
Two in the air for the father that's there
Three in the air for the kids in the ghetto
Four for the kids that don't wanna be there

None for the niggas tryna to hold them back
Five in the air for the teacher not scared
To tell those kids that's living in the ghetto
That the niggas holding back that the world is theirs!

Yeah, yeah, the world is yours
I was once that little boy
Terrified of the world
Now I'm on a world tour
I would give up everything
Even start a world war
For these ghetto girls and boys I'm rapping 'round the world for!

Africa to New York
Haiti then I detour
Oakland out to Auckland
Gaza Strip to Detroit
Say hip-hop only destroy
Tell 'em look at me, boy!
I hope your son don't have a gun
And never be a D-boy

[2x]
Alright
Already the show goes on all night
'Til the morning we dream so long
Anybody ever wonder
When they would see the sun up
Just remember when you come up
The show goes on!

So no matter what you've been through
No matter what you're into
No matter what you see
When you look outside your window
Brown grass or green grass
Picket fence or barbed wire
Never ever put them down
You just lift your arms higher

Raise 'em 'til your arms tired
Let 'em know you're here
That you're struggling surviving
That you gon' persevere
Yeah, ain't nobody leaving
Nobody going home
Even if they turn the lights out
The show is going on!

[2x]
Alright
Already the show goes on all night
'Til the morning we dream so long
Anybody ever wonder
When they would see the sun up
Just remember when you come up
The show goes on!
