[Produced by Salaam Remi]
[Intro: Anthony Hamilton]
Lies and the pain
Betrayal, life
[Bridge: Anthony Hamilton]
In danger’s face
Look what you’re facing, gave your heart away
And all the remedies couldn’t ease the pain
All the hurt and betrayal; need to get away
In a world so cold
You gain your life just to lose your soul
Never thinking twice ’bout what the future holds
All the lies and the games not worth fighting for
[Refrain: Anthony Hamilton]
The world is an addiction
Serving up a fix
The world is an addiction
It’s way too much for me
[Verse 1: Nas]
Uhh, snitches and rapists in the street, crime to the fullest
Asking niggas if they got any extra nine bullets
They deny me that, they know the bullets they loan me
Be the same ones that probably had them lying flat
Stretched out, letter T, it’s better to dead a beef
Than let it breathe, then we don’t succeed
‘Cause then you gotta murder dummies
Waste your time, they allergic to money
I’m never squirmish to blood
We can thug and get out of hand; what’s the options?
Only conclusion is shooting, bullets popping, hoodlums dropping
Fear any day that the Feds will come knocking
Was young and nervous, asking myself, what’s my purpose?
In the back of a paddy wagon, bracelets aching me
Pigs ignoring, I’m asking what precinct they taking me
These cops can’t relate to me, death to prison, empty vacancy
[Refrain: Anthony Hamilton]
The world is an addiction
Serving up a fix
The world is an addiction
It’s way too much for me
[Verse 2: Nas]
Thou shall not be selfish, real nigga commandments
Know a billionaire, he has everything but a fam
Guess how angry this man gets
Had so many bad chicks in his bed, strange sex, same sex
Has addictions that are sadistic, chain of events, habits
He puts cocaine on his prick and acts sick
Self-esteem needs boosting, alcohol consumption
Nicotine fusion, some athletes juicing
Pastors quote biblical chapters, Psalms
All along he’s into bestiality porn
And it’s wrong, so I keep the Cali weed in the bong
And I’m strong but the female anatomy got me sprung
And these women need shoes and baddest cars and condos
Fine clothes and these fiends needs to get high
So they find dough to mainline dope, and y’all know
[Refrain: Anthony Hamilton]
The world is an addiction
Serving up a fix
The world is an addiction
It’s way too much for me
[Verse 3: Nas]
So many vices, habits, mine of course, bad chicks
My response to any advice on what is the essentials of life
I’m just rebellious, not selfish
Guess we all share different definitions of what wealth is
I need the best things in life, that’s women, that’s cars, cigars
A vintage bottle on ice that’s priceless
The other night, just in the emergency room
A patient said she needs to see a doctor soon
Doctor busy operating on a lady who’s sedated
He can barely concentrate ’cause he’s newly separated
His estranged wife likes entertaining her acquaintance
In the house they were married in, mad people waiting
Some young, some old, heads and stomachs aching
Filling out an application ’cause they all need medication
But the doctor need love or a quick vacation
Calling up his travel agent, same time, premeditating
Murdering his ex wife; life, savage ain’t it
Some need Xanax just to maintain it
We all need faith ’cause the world keep changing
Let go of the illusion, start some restraining
[Outro: Anthony Hamilton]
Oooooooooooh-ahhhhhhhhh
Ahhhhhhhh-ahhhhhh-ahhhhhh-ahhh
Just hold on (just hold on)
Just hold on (just hold on)
Just hold on (just hold on)
Just hold on (just hold on)
Just hold on (just hold on)
Just hold on (just hold on)
Just hold on (just hold on)
Just hold on (…hold on)
