This Has Been My World - 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

Cuz 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 shit?

(Hahah)

Ain’t that 'bout a bitch

Especially when they told me I’ll never do shit, or be shit

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 to me

Touchdown on my old turf, money and bitches 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 bitches 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 shit 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 shit 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 its 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 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 bitch

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

And everyday 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

Just Blaze!
