The extremities today of the world we're living in Dreams of a unity but we keep giving in It's hard enough we have to struggle and fight without malathion getting sprayed in our eyesight Before we sell out it's time for me to tell out The world is at a critical end about to yella A painful explosion, forceful motion Seeing all this corruption gave me the notion To preach, teach and release another free piece To all the gangsters, pimps and police Please cease the fire, rage and the anger inside of you Politicians pave their way in and they lie to you Another baby was born the other day And mama's only 14, can't we find a better way To have fun without the snake crawling in to the hole? But it's a part of the world that we live in The world we live in Depression is slowly coming down like rainfall One drop hits the ground and breaks all the races apart Living life like a rubiks cube Leave it on me stop somma than you Probably get a KKK of a different kind Cause negative rides over positive ten times Knowledge is fear, deep in your head Tell all the kids about the future or the time you get misled Going to war though is none of our business Yo, we didn't start it but they draft us to finish it News at eleven what the hell is going on Another brother killed for the color of a crayon We try teaching love in this family But rap keeps getting disrespected by the Grammys Is it violence or prejudice in men? No, it's just a part of the world that we live in The world we live in I see the transparent eyes of another world A middle aged man just molested a young girl And waiting for the bus a young boy got shot And an innocent man got beat up by a cop Now if we can't trust the law who'll protect us? A priest, a reverend, a prophet to bless us? Unity to every peace goer and make some positive note Because peace shall overcome I stand tall with a flag of all colors To all uncles, aunts, sisters, fathers and mothers, brothers Lead us to the promised land We're all brother of all colors, can unite hand There shouldn't be a reason to betray peace Like why can't the west be played in the east Is it violence or prejudice in man? No, this is a part of the world that we live in It's the world that we live in Now let's stand hand to hand Brother man to brother man We need to fight the hype, they starving the motherland We have to been to and have to give in to White supremacy, we know they lose em for centu I'm not dissin' I'm just take it to another level Are you stupid or your mind is a pebble To think that we betray our race or way of culture Your mind is a vulture You may have taken off freedom on land But you can never take a mind of an agiatic black man I read a letter The army though they could draft me in a battle I sat and I laughed The fact that they tried to lie me into slavery I don't care, they can beat me, slay me, hospitalize me, even bleach my skin Cause it'll never change the fact that I'm black The world we live in Yep, that's the world that we live in
