The world is yours, the world is yours
It's mine, it's mine, it's mine
Whose world is this?
I sip the Dom P, watching Gandhi 'til I'm charged
Then writing in my book of rhymes, all the words past the margin
To hold the mic I'm throbbin', mechanical movement
Understandable smooth shit that murderers move with
The thief's theme, play me at night, they won't act right
The fiend of hip-hop has got me stuck like a crack pipe
The mind activation, react like I'm facin' time like
Pappy Mason, with pens I'm embracin'
Wipe the sweat off my dome, spit the phlegm on the streets
Suede Timb's on my feets makes my cipher complete
Whether crusing in a Sikh's cab, or Montero Jeep
I can't call it, the beats make me fallin' asleep
I keep falling, but never falling six feet deep
I'm out for presidents to represent me (say what?)
I'm out for presidents to represent me (say what?)
I'm out for dead presidents to represent me

It's mine, it's mine, it's mine
Whose world is this?
To my man Ill Will, God bless your life (it's yours)
To my peoples throughout Queens, God bless your life
I trip, we box up crazy bitches
Aiming guns in all my baby pictures
Beef with housing police, release scriptures that's maybe Hitler's
Yet I'm the mild, money-getting style, rolling foul
The versatile, honey-sticking wild golden child
Dwelling in the Rotten Apple, you get tackled
Or caught by the devil's lasso, shit is a hassle
There's no days, for broke days we sell it, smoke pays
While all the old folks pray to Jesus, soaking their sins in trays
Of holy water, odds against Nas are slaughter
Thinking a word best describing my life to name my daughter
My strength, my son, the star, will be my resurrection
Born in correction, all the wrong shit I did, he'll lead a right direction
How you living? Large, a broker charge, cards are mediocre
You're flipping coke or playing spit, spades and strip poker?
(It's yours)
It's mine, it's mine, it's mine

The world is yours, the world is yours
It's mine, it's mine, it's mine

Break it down
(It's yours)
(It's yours)
(It's yours)
(It's yours)
I'm the young city bandit, hold myself down single-handed
For murder raps, I kick my thoughts alone, get remanded
Born alone, die alone, no crew to keep my crown or throne
I'm deep by sound alone, caved inside, a thousand miles from home
I need a new nigga for this black cloud to follow
'Cause while it's over me it's too dark to see tomorrow
Trying to maintain, I flip, fill the clip to the tip
Picturing my peeps, now the income make my heartbeat skip
And I'm amped up, they locked the champ up, even my brain's in handcuffs
Headed for Indiana, stabbing women like the Phantom
The crew is lampin', Big Willie-style
Check the chip-toothed smile, plus I profile wild
Stash through the flock wools, burning dollars to light my stove
Walk the blocks with a bop, checking dames, plus the games
People play, bust the problems of the world today
(It's yours)

{It's yours} Whose world is this?
The world is yours, the world is yours
It's mine, it's mine, it's mine—whose world is this?
It's mine, it's mine, it's mine—whose world is this?

[Verso 1: Nas]
I sip the Dom P, watchin' Gandhi 'til I'm charged, then
Writin' in my book of rhymes, all the words past the margin
Behold the mic I'm throbbin', mechanical movement
Understandable smooth shit that murderers move with
The thief's theme; play me at night, they won't act right
The fiend of hip-hop has got me stuck like a crack pipe
The mind activation, react like I'm facin'
Time like Pappy Mason, with pens I'm embracin'
Wipe the sweat off my dome, spit the phlegm on the streets
Suede Timbs on my feet makes my cipher complete
Whether cruisin' in a Six cab or Montero Jeep
I can't call it, the beats make me fallin' asleep
I keep fallin', but never fallin' six feet deep
I'm out for presidents to represent me (Say what?)
I'm out for presidents to represent me (Say what?)

[Verso 2: Nas]
I trip, we box up crazy bitches
Aimin' guns in all my baby pictures
Beef with housing police, release scriptures that's maybe Hitler's
Yet I'm the mild, money-gettin' style, rollin' foul
The versatile, honey-stickin', wild, golden child
Dwellin' in the Rotten Apple, you get tackled
Or caught by the devil's lasso, shit is a hassle
There's no days for broke days
We sell it, smoke pays, while all the old folks pray
To Jesús, soakin' their sins in trays of holy water
Odds against Nas are slaughter
Thinkin' a word best describin' my life to name my daughter
My strength, my son, the star will be my resurrection
Born in correction, all the wrong shit I did
He'll lead a right direction
How you livin'? Large, a broker charge, cards are mediocre
You flippin' coke or playin' spit, spades, and strip poker?

[Verso 3: Nas]
I'm the young city bandit, hold myself down single-handed
For murder raps, I kick my thoughts alone, get remanded
Born alone, die alone, no crew to keep my crown or throne
I'm deep by sound alone, caved inside, 1,000 miles from home
I need a new nigga for this black cloud to follow
‘Cause while it's over me it's too dark to see tomorrow
Tryin' to maintain, I flip, fill the clip to the tip
Picturin' my peeps not eatin' can make my heartbeat skip
And I'm amped up, they locked the champ up
Even my brain's in handcuffs
Headed for Indiana, stabbin' women like the Phantom
The crew is lampin', Big Willie style
Check the chip-toothed smile, plus I profile wild
Stash loot in fly clothes, burnin' dollars to light my stoge
Walk the blocks with a bop, checkin' dames
Plus the games people play bust the problems of the world today
[Refrão: Pete Rock + Nas]
{It's yours} Whose world is this?

I sip the Dom P, watching Gandhi 'til I'm charged
Eu bebo Dom P, assistindo Gandhi até ficar carregado
Then writing in my book of rhymes, all the words past the margin
Então escrevendo no meu livro de rimas, todas as palavras além da margem
To hold the mic I'm throbbin', mechanical movement
Para segurar o microfone estou pulsando, movimento mecânico
Understandable smooth shit that murderers move with
Entendo coisas suaves que assassinos se movem com
The thief's theme, play me at night, they won't act right
O tema do ladrão, me toque à noite, eles não agirão direito
The fiend of hip-hop has got me stuck like a crack pipe
O vício do hip-hop me deixou preso como um cachimbo de crack
The mind activation, react like I'm facin' time like
A ativação da mente, reajo como se estivesse enfrentando tempo como
Pappy Mason, with pens I'm embracin'
Pappy Mason, com canetas estou abraçando
Wipe the sweat off my dome, spit the phlegm on the streets
Limpo o suor da minha testa, cuspo o catarro nas ruas
Suede Timb's on my feets makes my cipher complete
Timb's de camurça nos meus pés completam meu círculo
Whether crusing in a Sikh's cab, or Montero Jeep
Seja passeando num táxi Sikh, ou num Jeep Montero
I can't call it, the beats make me fallin' asleep
Não consigo decidir, as batidas me fazem adormecer
I keep falling, but never falling six feet deep
Continuo caindo, mas nunca caindo seis pés abaixo
I'm out for presidents to represent me (say what?)
Estou atrás de presidentes para me representar (diga o quê?)
I'm out for presidents to represent me (say what?)
Estou atrás de presidentes para me representar (diga o quê?)
I'm out for dead presidents to represent me
Estou atrás de presidentes mortos para me representar

To my peoples throughout Queens, God bless your life
Para o meu povo em Queens, Deus abençoe sua vida
I trip, we box up crazy bitches
Eu tropeço, nós encaixotamos loucas vadias
Aiming guns in all my baby pictures
Apontando armas em todas as minhas fotos de bebê
Beef with housing police, release scriptures that's maybe Hitler's
Briga com a polícia de habitação, solta escrituras que talvez sejam de Hitler
Yet I'm the mild, money-getting style, rolling foul
Ainda assim, eu sou o estilo calmo de ganhar dinheiro, andando sujo
The versatile, honey-sticking wild golden child
O versátil, grudando mel na criança dourada selvagem
Dwelling in the Rotten Apple, you get tackled
Morando na Maçã Podre, você é derrubado
Or caught by the devil's lasso, shit is a hassle
Ou pego pelo laço do diabo, a merda é um aborrecimento
There's no days, for broke days we sell it, smoke pays
Não há dias, para dias quebrados vendemos, o fumo paga
While all the old folks pray to Jesus, soaking their sins in trays
Enquanto todos os velhos oram a Jesus, encharcando seus pecados em bandejas
Of holy water, odds against Nas are slaughter
De água benta, as chances contra Nas são de abate
Thinking a word best describing my life to name my daughter
Pensando numa palavra que melhor descreva minha vida para nomear minha filha
My strength, my son, the star, will be my resurrection
Minha força, meu filho, a estrela, será minha ressurreição
Born in correction, all the wrong shit I did, he'll lead a right direction
Nascido na correção, toda a merda errada que eu fiz, ele levará na direção certa
How you living? Large, a broker charge, cards are mediocre
Como você está vivendo? Grande, uma cobrança de corretor, cartões são medíocres
You're flipping coke or playing spit, spades and strip poker?
Você está virando coca ou jogando cuspe, espadas e strip poker?

I'm the young city bandit, hold myself down single-handed
Eu sou o jovem bandido da cidade, me mantenho sozinho
For murder raps, I kick my thoughts alone, get remanded
Por raps de assassinato, dou meus pensamentos sozinho, fico detido
Born alone, die alone, no crew to keep my crown or throne
Nasci sozinho, morro sozinho, sem equipe para manter minha coroa ou trono
I'm deep by sound alone, caved inside, a thousand miles from home
Estou profundo pelo som sozinho, encurralado, a mil milhas de casa
I need a new nigga for this black cloud to follow
Preciso de um novo cara para essa nuvem negra seguir
'Cause while it's over me it's too dark to see tomorrow
Porque enquanto está sobre mim, é muito escuro para ver o amanhã
Trying to maintain, I flip, fill the clip to the tip
Tentando manter, eu viro, encho o clipe até a ponta
Picturing my peeps, now the income make my heartbeat skip
Imaginando meus amigos, agora a renda faz meu coração pular
And I'm amped up, they locked the champ up, even my brain's in handcuffs
E estou animado, eles prenderam o campeão, até meu cérebro está algemado
Headed for Indiana, stabbing women like the Phantom
Indo para Indiana, esfaqueando mulheres como o Fantasma
The crew is lampin', Big Willie-style
A equipe está relaxando, estilo Big Willie
Check the chip-toothed smile, plus I profile wild
Confira o sorriso com dente lascado, além disso, eu perfilo selvagem
Stash through the flock wools, burning dollars to light my stove
Guardo através das lãs de rebanho, queimando dólares para acender meu fogão
Walk the blocks with a bop, checking dames, plus the games
Ando pelos quarteirões com um gingado, checando as garotas, além dos jogos
People play, bust the problems of the world today
As pessoas jogam, rompem os problemas do mundo hoje

Yo, il mondo è tuo, il mondo è tuo
It's mine, it's mine, it's mine
È mio, è mio, è mio
Whose world is this?
Di chi è questo mondo?
(It's yours)
(È tuo)
Break it down
Spezzalo
(It's yours)
(È tuo)

I'm the young city bandit, hold myself down single-handed
Sono il giovane bandito della città, mi mantengo da solo
For murder raps, I kick my thoughts alone, get remanded
Per omicidi, esprimo i miei pensieri da solo, vengo rinchiuso
Born alone, die alone, no crew to keep my crown or throne
Nato solo, muoio solo, nessuna crew per mantenere la mia corona o il mio trono
I'm deep by sound alone, caved inside, a thousand miles from home
Sono profondo dal suono solo, scavato dentro, a mille miglia da casa
I need a new nigga for this black cloud to follow
Ho bisogno di un nuovo ragazzo per questa nube nera da seguire
'Cause while it's over me it's too dark to see tomorrow
Perché mentre è sopra di me è troppo buio per vedere il domani
Trying to maintain, I flip, fill the clip to the tip
Cercando di mantenere, mi ribalto, riempio il caricatore fino alla punta
Picturing my peeps, now the income make my heartbeat skip
Immaginando i miei amici, ora il reddito fa saltare il mio battito cardiaco
And I'm amped up, they locked the champ up, even my brain's in handcuffs
E sono carico, hanno bloccato il campione, anche il mio cervello è in manette
Headed for Indiana, stabbing women like the Phantom
Diretto per l'Indiana, pugnalando donne come il Fantasma
The crew is lampin', Big Willie-style
La crew è rilassata, stile Big Willie
Check the chip-toothed smile, plus I profile wild
Controlla il sorriso con il dente scheggiato, più ho un profilo selvaggio
Stash through the flock wools, burning dollars to light my stove
Nascondo attraverso le lane di pecore, bruciando dollari per accendere il mio fornello
Walk the blocks with a bop, checking dames, plus the games
Cammino per i blocchi con un dondolio, controllando le donne, più i giochi
People play, bust the problems of the world today
Le persone giocano, affrontano i problemi del mondo di oggi
(It's yours)
(È tuo)
It's mine, it's mine, it's mine
È mio, è mio, è mio
Whose world is this?
Di chi è questo mondo?
The world is yours, the world is yours
Il mondo è tuo, il mondo è tuo
It's mine, it's mine, it's mine
È mio, è mio, è mio
Whose world is this?
Di chi è questo mondo?
(It's yours)
(È tuo)
It's mine, it's mine, it's mine
È mio, è mio, è mio
Whose world is this? (Yeah)
Di chi è questo mondo? (Sì)
The world is yours, the world is yours
Il mondo è tuo, il mondo è tuo
It's mine, it's mine, it's mine
È mio, è mio, è mio
Whose world is this?
Di chi è questo mondo?
(It's yours)
(È tuo)
Break it down
Spezzalo

[Перевод песни Nas — «The World Is Yours»]
[Припев: Pete Rock + Nas]
(Он твой)
Чей это мир?
Этот мир твой, мир твой
Он мой, он мой, он мой – чей это мир?
(Он твой)
Он мой, он мой, он мой – чей это мир?
Этот мир твой, мир твой
Он мой, он мой, он мой – чей это мир?
[Куплет 1: Nas]
Попиваю "Dom", смотрю «Ганди», пока не заряжусь, затем
Пишу в свою книгу рифм, и все слова выходят за поля
Держа в руке микро, я трепещу, это механическое движение
Всё понятно и ровно, что убийцам по нраву
Воровская тема, включи меня ночью – они сделают своё дело
Нарик от хип-хопа, я пристрастился к нему, как будто к трубке для крэка
Запуск разума, реагирую так, будто у меня
Срок, как у Пэппи Мейсона, заковав перо в руку
Вытирая пот со лба, читаю хладнокровно на улицах
Замшевые «Тимбы» на моих ногах довершают мой код
Еду я в такси или в джипе "Монтеро"
Уже не скажу, под биты я впадаю в дрёму
И погружаюсь, но никогда не ниже шести футов вглубь
Я ищу президентов, которые постоят за меня (Чего?)
Я ищу президентов, которые постоят за меня (Чего?)
Я ищу «дохлых президентов», которые постоят за меня
[Припев: Pete Rock + Nas]
Чей это мир?
Этот мир твой, мир твой
Он мой, он мой, он мой – чей это мир?
Этот мир твой, мир твой
Он мой, он мой, он мой – чей это мир?
(Он твой)
Он мой, он мой, он мой – чей это мир?
Этот мир твой, мир твой
Он мой, он мой, он мой – чей это мир?
[Куплет 2: Nas]
Моему другану Илл Уиллу, благослови бог твою жизнь!
Моим людям в Куинсе, благослови бог вашу жизнь!
Я не думая ставлю бешеных сук на место; я целюсь из пушек на всех своих детских фото
Конфликтую с жилищной полицией, выпускающей рукописи, которые почти гитлеровские
И всё же я тихое, на деньги нацеленное, фолящее
Разностороннее, любвеобильное, неистовое золотое дитя
Обитающих в Гнилом Яблоке или захватывают
Или ловят дьявольским лассо – сплошная морока
На нищету нет времени, мы продаём курево, пока окупается
Старики всё молятся Иисусу, вымачивая свои грехи в сосудах
Со святой водой; шансы против Наса – лишь убийство
Ищу слово, лучше всех описывающее мою жизнь, чтоб назвать им свою дочь
Моя сила, мой сын, эта звезда будет моим воскрешением
Он родится для исправления, все мои ошибки он выведет на верный путь
Как ты живёшь? С богатством на кредитке или бедно и заурядно?
Ты бодяжишь кокс или играешь в спит, пики и покер на раздевание?
[Припев: Pete Rock + Nas]
(Он твой)
Он мой, он мой, он мой – чей это мир?
Этот мир твой, мир твой
Он мой, он мой, он мой – чей это мир?
(Он твой)
Он мой, он мой, он мой – чей это мир?
Йо, этот мир твой, мир твой
Он мой, он мой, он мой – чей это мир?
(Он твой)
[Бридж]
Заводи
Он твой, он твой
Он твой, он твой
[Куплет 3: Nas]
Я – молодой городской бандит, поддерживаю себя в одиночку
За рэп про убийства я мыслю в одиночестве, вернувшись под стражу
Родился один, умру один, никакая банда не будет хранить мою корону или трон
Погружаюсь в звук в одиночку взаперти в тысяче миль от дома
Мне нужен новый ниггер, который пойдёт под этой тучей
Ибо, пока она надо мной, мне слишком темно разглядеть будущее
Стараюсь справиться с этим, я бодяжу, заполняю обойму по самый верх
Если мне представить, что мои поцы голодают, то моё сердце заёкает
Энергии через край, но чемпиона закрыли, и даже мой мозг прикован
Отправляюсь в Индиану, пронзая женщин, как фантом
Банда расслабляется в стиле больших шишек
Зацени мою улыбку с выщербиной, плюс у меня профиль оголтелого
Ныкаю лавэ по модным шмоткам, подпалив доллары, зажигаю махорку
Щеголяю по кварталам походкой, палю дам; плюс людские игры
Уносят проблемы сегодняшнего мира
[Припев: Pete Rock + Nas]
(Он твой)
Он мой, он мой, он мой – чей это мир?
Этот мир твой, мир твой
Он мой, он мой, он мой – чей это мир?
(Он твой)
Он мой, он мой, он мой – чей это мир? (Да)
Йо, этот мир твой, мир твой
Он мой, он мой, он мой – чей это мир?
(Он твой)
[Аутро: Nas & Pete Rock]
(Заводи) Да, ага
Всем в Куинсе, моей основе
Мир ваш
Всем под стражей, йо, мир ваш
Мир ваш
Всем в Бруклине
Вы знаете, мир ваш (Он твой)
Мир ваш
Всем в Маунт-Верноне, мир ваш (Он твой)
Лонг-Айленд, йо, мир ваш (Он твой)
Статен-Айленд, да, мир ваш (Он твой)
Южный Бронкс, мир ваш (Он твой)
Лады
