Song lyrics
"It's yours!" --] T La Rock 

Chorus: Nas, Pete Rock 

[PR] Whose world is this? 
[Nas] The world is yours, the world is yours 
[PR] It's mine, it's mine, it's mine 
Whose world is this? "It's yours!" 
It's mine, it's mine, it's mine 
Whose world is this? 
[Nas] The world is yours, the world is yours 
[PR] It's mine, it's mine, it's mine 
Whose world is this? 

I sip the Dom P, watchin Gandhi til I'm charged 
Then writin in my book of rhymes, all the words pass the margin 
To hold the mic I'm throbbin, mechanical movement 
Understandable smooth shit that murderers move wit 
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 
Perry 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 cypher, complete 
Whether crusin 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?) 
I'm out for dead presidents to represent me 

Chorus: Nas, Pete Rock 

[PR] Whose world is this? 
[Nas] The world is yours, the world is yours 
[PR] It's mine, it's mine, it's mine 
[PR] Whose world is this? 
[Nas] The world is yours, the world is yours 
[PR] It's mine, it's mine, it's mine 
Whose world is this? "It's yours!" 
It's mine, it's mine, it's mine 
Whose world is this? 
[Nas] The world is yours, the world is yours 
[PR] 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 aimin guns in all my baby pictures 
Beef with housin 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 Je-sus' soakin they 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 ya livin large, a broker charge, cards are mediocre 
You flippin coke or playin spit spades in strip poker 

"It's yours!" 

Chorus: Nas, Pete Rock 

[PR] It's mine, it's mine, it's mine 
[PR] Whose world is this? 
[Nas] The world is yours, the world is yours 
[PR] It's mine, it's mine, it's mine 
Whose world is this? "It's yours!" 
It's mine, it's mine, it's mine 
Whose world is this? 
[Nas] Yo, the world is yours, the world is yours 
[PR] It's mine, it's mine, it's mine 
Whose world is this? "It's yours!" 
[PR] Break it down 

*Pete Rock cuts and scratches "It's yours!"* 

I'm the young city bandit, hold myself down singlehanded 
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 in 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 
Picturin 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 stabbin 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, burnin dollars to light my stove 
Walk the blocks wit a bop, checkin Danes plus the games 
people play, bust the problems of the world today 

"It's yours!" 

Chorus: Nas, Pete Rock 

[PR] It's mine, it's mine, it's mine 
[PR] Whose world is this? 
[Nas] The world is yours, the world is yours 
[PR] It's mine, it's mine, it's mine 
Whose world is this? "It's yours!" 
It's mine, it's mine, it's mine 
Whose world is this? 
[Nas] Yeah... the world is yours, the world is yours 
[PR] It's mine, it's mine, it's mine 
Whose world is this? "It's yours!" 
Break it down 

Yea aight? 
To everybody in Queens, the foundation "It's yours!" 
The world is yours 
To everybody uptown, yo, the world is yours "It's yours!" 
The world is yours 
To everybody in Brooklyn 
Y'all know the world is yours "It's yours!" 
The world is yours 
Everbody in Mount Vernon, the world is yours "It's yours!" 
Long Island, the world is yours "It's yours!" 
Staten Island, yea the world is yours "It's yours!" 
South Bronx, the world is yours "It's yours!" 
Aight 

*Pete Rock keeps cuttin and scratchin "It's yours!" to fade*
