Meaning of Asher Roth - The World Is Not Enough Lyrics

the world

thought i could save the world with the rhythm to rhyme

but then i came to find they had a prison in mind

with violence on the rise got us livin’ in crime

they wanna lock us up, take your position in life

well, by god, if this isn’t a sign

then we have no idea what we’ve been visited by

yea, you bet it’s real, we all be shouldn’t lyin’

but they say it has show, man this isn’t the time

but when is it?

our people been evicted from homes they grew up in but nobody cares to listen

man it’s pretty sick, they tryna vill of our religions and pit us against each other when nobody’s really livin’

capitalism, this is a growing issue

you with us or against us? pick which one is you

won’t be until this fuckin’ revolution lives

that they already out for, ready to come and get you

this world

this world is never enough, man, the world ain’t never enough

this world is never enough, man, the world ain’t never enough

this world is never enough, man, the world ain’t never enough

this world is never enough, man, the world ain’t never enough

am i the last one left? peace, love and happiness

or just another stupid rappin’ mouth that’s got a stupid ass to kiss?

so i could get a buck with blood suckers live it up

just give me something man

why is it have to come to pistol, cuffs?

these drugs bad man and they snorting up bad salts

head raw and crack raw. what’s in the bag dog?

steal it from my dad just to get it some cash

we face a tall task dad, y’all enough with the fast talk

give it to me straight, there’s so much i could take

why they multiply the crimes and the violence by hate?

on the radio they play only things they pay

man, it’s a shame cuz the music was our only escape so

now we all alone and everybody’s a clone

cuz everybody’s always on the cellular phone

so now we getting slow and becoming a drone

we’re missing out on really living, i just want you to know

this world

this world is never enough, man, the world ain’t never enough

this world is never enough, man, the world ain’t never enough

this world is never enough, man, the world ain’t never enough

this world is never enough, man, the world ain’t never enough

Meaning of the song:

This world is never enough, and the world ain’t never enough
