The Nature (feat. Justin Timberlake)

Expect the unexpected

Yo

It's kinda hard to keep faith in the things that you do

When everybody turns their back on you

It's kinda hard to keep faith in the things that you do

When everybody turns their back on you

It's kinda hard to keep faith in the things that you do

When everybody turns their back on you

It's kinda hard to keep faith in the things that you do

When everybody turns their back

Yeah, I know a city that's surrounded by a beautiful beach

The economy boosted by the drugs they move in the street

More clearer than the crystal sky, blue as the beast

But the people ain't got shoes for they feet

Or food to eat, so they hurtin', but what's for certain

You can get you some heat and over beef you laid to rest

Like you was gettin' some sleep

Where the little kids get ammunition? (Word)

But can't get no nutrition or any type of suitable livin' condition?

Listen, they shoot you over that paper

It's just survivalist human nature, to put you out your misery

Like euthanasia (Yeah)

Don't let 'em fool you, we ain't different than the youth in Asia

Africa or Europe, it's a small world, we truly neighbors

If they the Third World then who the first to get to Heaven?

I know it's hard but who does God choose to go through it worst

Usually it's the prophets, ask a cat what really matters

Nowadays, usually it's his pockets

We gotta get back to what really matters

(Word)

We gotta search our soul to find out what we're after

The more I find my voice the more they try to make it harder

Mom and Dad, don't forget to warn your sons and daughters

(It's all real)

About the nature of the world today

The nature of the world today

(That's what I'm talkin' about)

The nature of the world today

The nature of the world today

Word, don't nobody talk no more, they all text message

Drivin' and typin', not payin' attention

Missin' they next exit, dependin' on navigation

They never know where they goin', they stayin' stuck in one spot

They not growin', I'm so over cryin', waitin' and hopin'

Playin' the blame game, the game change

We in a different world like Dwayne Wayne

(Come on) I'm gettin' high just to maintain

(Yeah) Take my music like a drug and drop the needle

In the same vein, I get a rush like I'm tweakin' off blow

Except it ain't via the nose, it's from deep in my soul

The street slang, I be speakin' in code

Kickin' in doors, freakin' the flow till the speakers explode

We in control, the people know I speak the truth to power

My roots is thicker than soursop

And it's so strong they bustin' out the flowerpot

Family tradition is to tell 'em you love 'em

While your family livin' from Granny in the kitchen

To Little Man in prison

We gotta get back to what really matters (Yeah)

(That's right, come on)

We gotta search our soul to find out what we're after

(Let's go, let's go, let's)

The more I find my voice the more they try to make it harder

Mom and Dad, don't forget to warn your sons and daughters

(It's all real)

About the nature of the world today (Yeah, woo)

The nature of the world today (Yeah, that's what I'm talkin' about)

The nature of the world today (Woo)

The nature of the world today (Yeah)

(Let's go)

It's kinda hard to keep faith in the things that you do

When everybody turns their back on you

It's kinda hard to keep faith in the things that you do

When everybody turns their back on you

It's kinda hard to keep faith in the things that you do

When everybody turns their back on you

It's kinda hard to keep faith in the things that you do

When everybody turns their back

I'm just tryna get back to what really matters

I'm tryna search my soul to find out what I'm really after

But the more I find my voice the more they try to make it harder

(Indeed)

So, Mom and Dad, don't forget to warn your sons and daughters

(It's all real)

About the nature of the world today

The nature of the world today

The nature of the world today

The nature of the world today

Hey, yeah

Yeah, it's all natural, baby

It's how we put it down

Yeah, Brooklyn to Tennessee

You gon' remember me

Yeah, yeah, break it down
