To these rappers I apologize 00:11

I know it ain't fair 00:12

Only ball I drop 00:14

New Year's, Times Square 00:16

The world is mine, sixth sense 00:18

I see the seven signs 00:20

Now baby, let's get started for life 00:22

Every time I look into your eyes 00:25

(Mr. Worldwide) 00:30

I feel like I could stare in them for a lifetime 00:32

We can get started for life 00:38

Big news, Pitbull, Tom Cruise, Mumbai 01:10

I lit up their December nights like the Fourth of July, vanilla sky 01:14

Thriller in Manila, knocking them out like Pacquiao 01:17

No Ali, no Frazier, but for now it's off to Malaysia 01:21

Two passports, three cities 01:25

Two countries, one day 01:26

Now that's worldwide 01:28

If you think it's a game, let's play, dale 01:30

Every time I look into your eyes 01:32

I am what they thought I'd never become 02:17

I believed and became it 02:19

Now I'm here to claim it 02:20

I hustle anything, you name it, name it 02:22

I went from eviction to food stamps 02:24

To baggin' work, wet and damp 02:26

To a passport, flooded with stamps 02:28

Now it's Voli everywhere I land 02:30

Two passports, three cities 02:32

Two countries, one day 02:33

Now that's worldwide 02:35

If you think it's a game, let's play, dale 02:37

'Cause if it feels right (You know it feels right) 02:40

We shouldn't waste any more time 02:44

To these rappers I apologize

Thriller in Manila, knocking them out like Pacquiao
No Ali, no Frazier, but for now it's off to Malaysia
Two passports, three cities
Two countries, one day

To baggin' work, wet and damp
To a passport, flooded with stamps
