Alright already the show goes on
All night till 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
Alright already the show goes on
All night till 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 s*** 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 they threats than get busy on they a**
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 no body play me
If you are my homeboy you never have to pay me
Go on and put your hands up when times are hard you stand up
L U P the man cause a brand that the fans trust
So even if they ban us they'll never slow my plans up!

Alright already the show goes on
All night till 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
Alright already the show goes on
All night till 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 that 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 n****s trying to hold them back
Five in the air for the teacher not scared
To tell those kids thats living in the ghetto that the n****s hold them 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 will 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

Alright already the show goes on
All night till 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
Alright already the show goes on
All night till 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 been through no matter what you 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 till your arms tired Let em know you here
That you struggling surviving that you gonna persevere
Yeah ain't no body leaving no body going home
Even if they turn the lights out the show is going on

Alright already the show goes on
All night till 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
Alright already the show goes on
All night till 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
