Nas, Anthony Hamilton - World's an Addiction lyrics

Lies and the pain betrayal, life

In danger’s face
Look what you’re facing, gave your heart away
And all the remedies couldn’t ease the pain
All the hurt and betrayal need to get away
In a world so cold
You gain your life just to lose your soul
Never thinking twice bout what
The future holds all the lies and the games
Not worth fighting for

The world is an addiction serving up a fix
The world is an addiction
It's way too much for me

Uhh, snitches and rapists in the street
Crime to the fullest
Asking niggas if they got
Any extra nine bullets they deny me that
They know the bullets they loan me
Be the same ones that probably
Had them lying flat stretched out, letter T
It's better to dead a beef
Than let it breathe, then we don't succeed
Cause then you gotta murder dummies
Waste your time, they allergic to money
I'm never squirmish to blood
We can thug and get out
Of hand what’s the options?
Only conclusion is shooting, bullets popping
Hoodlums dropping
Fear any day that the Feds will come knocking
Was young and nervous
Asking myself what’s my purpose?
In the back of a paddy wagon
Bracelets aching me pigs ignoring
I'm asking what precinct they taking me
These cops can’t relate to
Me, death to prison, empty vacancy
The world is an addiction serving up a fix
The world is an addiction
It's way too much for me

Thou shall not be selfish
Real nigga commandments know a billionaire
He has everything but a fam
Guess how angry this man gets
Had so many bad chicks in
His bed, strange sex, same sex
Has addictions that are sadistic
Chain of events, habit's
He puts cocaine on his prick and acts sick
Self-esteem needs boosting
Alcohol consumption
Nicotine fusion, some athletes juicing
Pastors quote biblical chapters, Psalms
All along he’s into beastiality porn
And it’s wrong
So I keep the Cali weed in the bong
And I'm strong but the female
Anatomy got me sprung
And these women need shoes and
Baddest cars and condos
Fine clothes and these fiends
Needs to get high
So they find dough to mainline dope
And y'all know

The world is an addiction serving up a fix
The world is an addiction
It's way too much for me

So many vices, habit's, mine of course
Bad chicks my response to any advice on what
Is the essentials of life
I'm just rebellious, not selfish
Guess we all share different definitions
Of what wealth is i need the best things in
Life, that's women, that’s cars, cigars
A vintage bottle on ice that’s priceless
The other night, just in the emergency room
A patient said she needs to see a doctor soon
Doctor busy operating on a lady who's sedated
He can barely concentrate cause
He’s newly separated
His estranged wife likes
Entertaining her acquaintance
In the house they were married in
Mad people waiting some young some old
Heads and stomachs aching
Filling out an application cause
They all need medication
But the doctor need love or a quick vacation
Calling up his travel agent, same time
Premeditating
Murdering his ex wife life, savage ain't it
Some need Xanax just to maintain it
We all need faith cause
The world keep changing
Let go of the illusion
Start some restraining

Oooooh ahhhhhhhhh
Ahhhhhh ahhhhhh ahhhhhhahhh
Just hold on (just hold on)
Just hold on (just hold on)
Just hold on (just hold on)
Just hold on (just hold on)
Just hold on (just hold on)
Just hold on (just hold on)
Just hold on (just hold on)
Just hold on (hold on)
