As the World Turns Lyrics


Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
"Now, I thought I would talk about today
For your consideration, as the world turns
As the world turns, read in all these scriptures
About the world, find out that the world does turn"As the world keeps spinning, we live these days
Dollar bill done drove the whole world crazy
While sittin' on the porch letting ganja blaze
Never hesitate a moment to enhance my phraseSince I needed that escape I take my pull
Seen the thugs on the corner trying to act all cool
Pretty much out of character
I look right through, their transparent exteriorYou in my book gettin' written and I'm the derriere

Thought you was peepin' me but I was aware of ya
You peep my ill expressions, how I just glare about
Trying to trace my inner world and my whereaboutsWell, try on, try on
I'm watchin' everythin' that's going down
And it ain't nothin' that I ain't been around
The same ghetto but a different townWell, I remember growin' up in the PAC
It was a whole lot of love in my family
I had clothes on my back and shoes on my feet
Times we didn't have a lot but that was fine with meIn good times and even bad times
Whether rainy, grey sky or the sunshine
Life was so much simpler, I didn't realise it then
But time has definitely made me a wiser manThe world keeps turnin' round
And time just keeps on movin'
The world keeps turnin' round
And time just keeps on movin'Sunday mornin' in the church just singin' a song
Mama gave much praise 'cos her soul was strong
When I was young I used to do lots of thangs was wrong
I never thought about till one day she was goneNow, my daddy passed on about a year before
Reminiscin' as I glance at the fishin' pole
But these things gotta happen so we all can grow
And now they spirits much freer than they was befo'So fly on, fly on, fly on, fly on, fly on, fly on, fly on
Fly on, fly on, fly on, fly on
'Cos there's angels in the midst
And they're guidin' and watchin' me every day
And even though at times I let it get to me
Just a little and I go astrayWe keep marchin' on and on
Young militants will watch and now we're growin'
With kids of their own, as it all unfolds
As the world keeps turnin' on, the world keeps turnin' onThe world keeps turnin' round
And time just keeps on movin'
The world keeps turnin' round
And time just keeps on movin'The world keeps turnin' round
And time just keeps on movin'
The world keeps turnin' round
And time just keeps on movin'The world keeps turnin' round
And time just keeps on movin'
The world keeps turnin' round
And time just keeps on movin'The world keeps turnin' round
And time just keeps on movin'
The world keeps turnin' round
And time just keeps on movin'

Gift Of Gab (Tim Parker) and Chief Xcel (Xavier Mosley) met at John F. Kennedy High School in 1987 in Sacramento, California and formed the group in the early 1990s. They released their first recording, "Swan Lake", on solesides records. The Solesides Crew consisted of the duo, as well as other friends of theirs they had met at University of California - Davis, including DJ Shadow, Lyrics Born and Lateef The Truth Speaker. The single was an underground hit, but label trouble prevented the duo from immediately capitalizing on their fame.

In late 1997, Solesides became quannum projects and in 1999 Blackalicious released the A2G EP, which served as a precursor to their debut full length album, Nia, which was released the following year. This was followed by a major label contract with MCA Records and the release of the critically acclaimed album Blazing Arrow in 2002.

In May 2004 Gift of Gab released his first solo album, 4th Dimensional Rocketships Going Up, but he assured fans that Blackalicious was alive and well.

A third full length, entitled The Craft, was released on Epitaph Records imprint ANTI- on September 27, 2005.
