[Hispanic Woman]
|
What the world needs is true expression
|
From the soul and the heart
|
What the world needs is you and me
|
What the world needs is the universe and love
|
Please remain seated
|
|
[Slimkid3]
|
People walk with the eyes of a child
|
And a smile so innocent and a heart so militant
|
Brain's got an ill intent so be intense
|
Some friends at the margin
|
Making summer streams harden
|
All these bulls shitting
|
Trying to milk me by the carton
|
But, uh, excuse me sir, I begs your pardon
|
Can't you see how low the hole has gotten?
|
Apple's completely rotten with the worm in it
|
Dying, still we're relying on who?
|
In this case I face the grace
|
Of my unseen God
|
Even the taste of what's seemingly odd
|
Relieving what stress I manifested
|
From the weight of the world on my chest
|
Feeling restless, ready to hurt someone
|
But a hurt that size never eased the eyes
|
To no one, it's no fun
|
Selfless shades of living
|
Got to feel each day that's given
|
|
[Chorus 2X: Slimkid3/Woman]
|
Now what the world needs is a love
|
That's sweeter than the melodies
|
That makes you go around and round and round
|
|
[Imani/Citizen Strange]
|
In too many situations I'm finding more complications
|
Than childirth but this my earth and I'm a
|
Conscious creature of creation
|
Here/hear with my imagination
|
Living for my son, dying for my son
|
Walking into the Sun, each one teach one
|
And it's love that completes the mission
|
And adds to everything that you thought was missing
|
Listen, you got to keep your mind, body and soul in check
|
In this land of no respect, where it's all about the cheque
|
I'm looking for a better day
|
Thinking that there's got to be a better way
|
Ask Tre, when I'm challenged
|
I use my talents to balance
|
And to rise like helium
|
Using love to find that happy medium
|
Forget that hostility
|
Cause with love there's always a possibility
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Bootie Brown/Frank Fiction]
|
Attempts at convincing me
|
To downplay another man's form of expression
|
That's not what I'm here to do
|
I fear it too but the future is now
|
And how can I make a song
|
That makes the world sing songs of love
|
And peace
|
When everyday's a fight with hate and the beast
|
On what seems like unfair grounds
|
Everybody I know is loading up rounds
|
For protection, well being and safety
|
Which is capitalised
|
Watching out for niggas fantasizing that they're Tupac
|
With only two cents, way too tense
|
Looking to prove and convince
|
That they're big balling
|
But their neighbours was calling
|
Now they're hauling that ass out to Chino
|
Got a girl with the bambino on the way
|
Due like a library textbook
|
Writing letters, praying to God
|
That my son is not the next crook
|
Sent out to join Poppa
|
Wish life was like a soap opera
|
With the happy ending
|
But you know love is always recommending
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Scott Wilson]
|
Do we believe that we're civilized, sophisticated or advanced
|
So quick to draw blood if given a chance
|
We dance with the Devil and romance with his rage
|
With a curse on our mind our prayers seem vague
|
The plague that sweeps across the garden is fear
|
Scared of our questions for the days that come near
|
So we stand guard over our bag of fool's gold
|
Never bowing our heads for the souls that we sold
|
And it's cold for the heart that stays towards itself
|
And only feels love for the abundance of wealth
|
But you can't pay your way through the gates of paradise
|
And you can't camouflage your grief from God's eyes
|
But lucky for us the Creator sees clear
|
With visions of times when we shed few tears
|
When our smiles have stretched from ear to ear
|
All the steps that we've travelled from year to year
|
And he loves who we are deep down inside
|
Forgives all the hatred, the greed and the pride
|
It's the same kind of love that could keep us afloat
|
When we all realise we need the same boat
|
With our hands interlocked we could carry the Sun
|
And bring forth the light where the damage was done
|
So let's do the raindance and water the seeds
|
And pray that the harvest brings what we all need
|
