This Has Been My World (Explicit) - Ludacris

Over a decade later

Let's toast to the good life

We still living the hood life

Welcome to my world Ludaversal

Listen

I think I got the best job in the world

'Cause I ain't gotta take the piss test

Michael sending me Jordans every 1st of the month

Said his kids love me ain't paid for a pair of kicks since

Why is it that when 'em niggas gettin' rich

The whole world just wanna get you some free **** hahah

Ain't that 'bout a *****

Especially when they told me I'll never do **** or be ****

I made it and never took you for granted

Took off and I never landed supply whatever demanded

And no one's ever handed it to me

I kicked it off with me and my special team

And shot the crips ran that to me

Touchdown on my old turf money and ******* sucking me

In my microphone vest

And know I'm not surprised that my old

***** taking niggas to school go do your homework

Yeah and I been going around in circles

Like everyday is a rehearsal

Is my life your entertainment

This has been my world Ludaversal

This has been my world Ludaversal

This has been my world Ludaversal

My life your entertainment

This has been my world Ludaversal

Almost everyday I'm waking up in another city

Another country a different climate and a time zone

Jet lag but I'm out of the bed fast for bad foreign *******

That I'm eager to lay my eyes on

So I opened up the blinds to the sky on

Wish that I could talk to God on my iPhone

I thank him for all of his generosity

And for satisfying most of my curiosity

Fans asking me what it's like to be me

I always tell 'em it's more good than bad

They say I want what you got

I tell 'em you'll never have **** if you don't appreciate

What you have

So I have learned to appreciate all the simple things

Like some good head and a fine wine

We all going through life searching for answers

And I been all around the world trynna find mine

Yeah and I been going around in circles

Like everyday is a rehearsal

Is my life your entertainment

This has been my world Ludaversal

This has been my world Ludaversal

This has been my world Ludaversal

My life your entertainment

This has been my world Ludaversal

Seems like everyday is a holiday

Celebratory popping bottles and model days

Stereotypical rap **** personified

From 8 albums committin' lyrical homicide

These airports like international mazes

Now my passport needs additional pages

Then I'm staring out at another horizon

Staying fly even in the no fly zone

Bodies on board but my mind's gone

Ain't no better feeling than when I fly home

Staring out the window of the plane

In the rains even the clouds need a shoulder to cry on

I'm crying 'cuz I'm living out my dreams

But this life is not easy as it seems

It's sorta similar to a crack game

Ain't no slowing down when you living

In the fast lane

Yeah and I been going around in circles

Like everyday is a rehearsal

Is my life your entertainment

This has been my world Ludaversal

This has been my world Ludaversal

This has been my world Ludaversal

My life your entertainment

This has been my world Ludaversal

Life is a gift

And we have a responsibility to live it

From the first breath to the last

Our future is built on the foundation of our past

Experience is a professor

And it's test's at a highest pressure

While we can't afford to crack

We must bear not to break

Like a reed in the wind we go with the flow

While still reaching for the light

Avoid useless conflict while never running from the fight

The struggle that forever brought me

To just beneath the surface

I'm dedicating to the service of self and to my people

And to never feeding the beast of unnecessary evil

We say the motion of

Take the action to display our character

From the first second that we start to feast

Until the day that we break this barrier

So disparaging is a civilized savage

Really great at only question

Only strive to become average

I'm not happier as a maverick

A cowboy that uses his cabbage to get more green

Than most millions done seen

The good kind and never the bad *****

The best that life has to give are the blessings of this life

That we live

And everyday and even place

I'm not lose my way I've had to learn

Just remember in any existence it's not the destination

But the journey

Live your life
