What this world needs ( short rap)
Dear planet earth, let me ask you somethin
I need to know, why our lives are crumblin?
I don't understand why we all have to fight each other
we all sisters and brothers, who cares if we different colors?
So what if we have different religions and visions
why do we try to put all that into submission?
I say that there should be no division between us
why we fight and fuss? ask I must
Why is there only hate and no trust?
Why we such a nation full of discrimination?
You know what? my best friend is Caucasian
and I'm Mexican, we got different colored skin, but we still tight!
In the end we all followin' the same light!
I think our world is very confused
Why is poor people bein left out and abused?
Why do we lie? Why do we steal? I'm embarrassed to live here
the embarassment is barely enough to be concealed.
I think all we have to do is get along
You know keeping it real? Why don't we all hang out?
Get together maybe talk over a slice of pizza
You don't get it? Well me Neith'uh
I guess peace is just hard to find, cuz violence is all we seem to mind.
I see that now our world is corrupted with violence
I hope that after listening to this y'all will help it be silenced
I can't help but sympathize with peoples' yells, screams and cries.
The violence brings tears to my eyes, why do we feel left out
and despised? The peace should be gathered up and improvised.
It comes as no surprise that this is the generation of beatin people down because
they poor, insult people, and rob general stores. And we wonder
why there's so many gang wars, why we so obsessed
with wheels and drugs? Guess some of us think we thugs.
But we ain't all supposed to be thugs and settle problems with a few
ball bats and knives what's so wrong with seein each other alive?
In the sixties everyone was either called sister or brothers,
They wouldn't be mean and beat down on each other, and yes I know they were
weird back then cuz they was wearin' peace bandanas on they heads,
But they wouldn't fight they'd get along instead!
Anyone who's anyone listen to me! just listen to these words and you will see
just how bad this world has turned out to be, people these days full of hate
and greed, it's no wonder everyone wants to see someone bleed instead of
helping each other in our time of need, I can't believe what this world is turnin
into and what everyone has to go through, I don't know why we showin so much
disrespect and why everyone wants to give each other heck! or why everyone
disses they mama, I have no need to hear about all this nonsense and drama.
