The Show Goes On lyrics

Haters in the building

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 shit there 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 ass

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 nobody 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 who don't wanna be there

None for the niggas trying to hold them back

Five in the air for the teacher

Not scared to tell those kids

That's living in the ghetto

That the niggas holdin' 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 ghettos 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 'til your arms tired

Let em' know you're there

That you struggling and survivin'

That you gonna persevere

Yeah, ain't no body leavin',

No body goin' home

Even if they turn the lights out the show is goin' 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!
