[Verse 1] Good Lord, the world is so cruel You ain't even see the sharks that circle your pool They ain't hungry, they just do it for fun They out to do you, they'll do you, they out to do you They won't wait for the proper time And I guess it's a waste of time tryna change they minds I guess if I were in they shoes I'd think, "He ain't one of us, he just another one of them dudes" And that's a shame, man, we can't get along 'Cause I got my own and they just got they own And when I take a look back at the way I've grown The only thing I've ever learned is never to trust anyone And this the only way I've known You can love me, but don't get me wrong I learned that life is one great big stage But it's just an empty stage once everybody's gone [Chorus] Yeah, yeah The world is so cruel Yeah, the world is so cruel The world is so cruel [Verse 2] Ay, look, uh, look Sometimes I think the world's mine 'Cause all of these women, they love me and all of these children is cryin' Sometimes I think the world's mine 'Cause all of these women, they love me and all of these children is cryin' I hope that you don't take this personal It's just the type of shit that I think about when I'm high So when I die, remember me fondly I hope that they say that I'm nothin' like that guy I hope they say that I'm nothin' like that guy I hope they say that I'm nothin' like that guy So when I die, remember me fondly I hope that they say that I'm nothin' like that guy [Verse 3] So many ideas lost to history I know a lot of things that's gon' die with me 'Cause all of this is like a house of cards And if it comes down, we won't remember any of these I'm tryna build a legacy I want them to tell me I am the king The weight of it will kill me, but you know what they say You live by the sword, you die by the thing The world is so cruel
