Bone Thugs-N-Harmony — If I Could Teach the World

Why do I stay high? Why do I stay high? [Chorus] If I could teach the world (whole wide world) To be a thug-n-harmony (harmony) Then I would teach the world (whole wide world) To be a thugsta just like me (like me) [Krayzie] How many mo days on this old earth can you see It's a crime to me So we should get ready for Armageddon Cause I know God should be ready to roll Do away with the wickedest shit like mr. police-man And dog if you're ready then pump up ya fist in tha air And then pray for the politicians freely; get an amen? The last days of the last days [Bizzy] That's why I get high, that's why I get high I'm holdin on to my soul But nobody knows when it all unfolds Then when I don't go Remember the dead cause I all I got I got under my arm we fall BONE BONE muggin runnin through your door Hoes speakin of the last time that I past Charlie wanna hear ya BONE But I can't go wrong When I flip it to my song Better turn it up Cause you love that Thuggish Ruggish Bone, Bone, Bone Crossroads what real cruel world Now I doubt the journey of those lost souls Who meant so much why wasn't I chose? But it will not stop clones Those shots don't drop BONE Nooooooo no BONE But if I could teach the world to be a thug like me Everybody be thuggin in heaven eternally [Layzie] Everyday the world goes round and round I see it's a small world after all Cause I can go met and I greet with my fans Smoke a little weed and have a little laugh with y'all But every now and then I gets caught up in a playa hation Lord what's wrong with the nation, erase em' But if I could teach the world to be a thug just like me You could live your lifestyle worry free In the arms of the Lord eternally No mystery, but check the essence of the story The warrior wasteland warrior so true Divine, it's mine, east 19-99 It's where ya gonna be find'in all of my kind, every time [Chorus] If I could teach the world (whole wide world) To be a thug-n-harmony (harmony) Then I would teach the world (whole wide world) To be a thugsta just like me (like me) [Krayzie] (if I, if I) We stand as united, but fall if divided My thugs are the tightest Cause God is our guidance, and they only define us As killer and fighters, cuz the critics n writers Backstab when they typing our story The war to be warrior, that’s for sure And as thugs we're more and more and more [Wish] I got, we got, too much shit to give, got shit to give Especially but still understood by the older folks and little kids Come on all of y'all Follow me BONE (Bone), way to go, we know the way to go Follow me follow me BONE And that's why I stay high cause I got shit to deal with And the government and these playa-haters out to kill Wish Wanna hurt this but uhuh I got true mo thug niggas you just can't fuck with Artillery you can't dung with Nigga betta let it rest shit (shit) To the little boys and girls all over the world The shit that we say is for the streets not for you to go and do Uh or to repeat, please if we can no more murder How must I say this, if we can no more murder [Chorus] If I could teach the world (whole wide world) To be a thug-n-harmony (harmony) Then I would teach the world (whole wide world) To be a thugsta just like me (like me) Why do I stay high?
