[Chorus: Saukrates - w/ ad libs]
|
Where are you? Between the love, the hate and all the lies
|
Where are you? You trippin, you must be lost and hypnotized
|
Where are you? You must be runnin
|
Where are you? You must be runnin
|
Where are you? You must be runnin
|
Where are you? You must be runnin
|
Where are you?
|
|
[Verse 1: Classified]
|
I'm right here with a look of despair
|
And it's quite clear, why no one ever said life's fair
|
I can feel it gettin cold in the night air
|
Dreamin in a world where conditions are a nightmare
|
As I stare at my child in her high chair
|
I wonder what life is like in 25 years
|
Wipe her eyes clear as she cries tears
|
Prayin for the future, Lord answer my prayers
|
(Look), we can't save the world through a song
|
But I'll try to bring light to what you've known all along
|
The fame, big house, money and the nice whips
|
Is that what life is? I thought it was priceless
|
I thought it all was in the palm of our hands
|
But somehow we can't read the drawings in the sand
|
People go hungry and others get richer
|
Turn a blind eye and don't see the big picture
|
Gotta get our vision and better our position
|
Man against man, still killing for religion
|
The system ain't workin, so how we suppose to get along?
|
If this is life, tell me where the fuck we went wrong
|
|
[Chorus: w/ ad libs]
|
|
[Break: Saukrates]
|
Or are you in between
|
(Where are you?) Of gettin what you need
|
(Where are you?) And doin what you want
|
(Where are you?) Runnin, runnin
|
|
[Verse 2: Classified]
|
Now I push on everyday but it's hard to ignore
|
When the wealthy get wealthier and the poor get poorer
|
We all know the rich don't need 7 cars
|
Million dollar art or a 50 acre yard
|
Ancient antiques that they think are eye raisin
|
Thousand dollar shoes, that their friends say amazin
|
You think they realize the money that they wastin
|
While these crumblin nations could of used and embraced it?
|
I'm done complainin, I'm done frontin
|
Tryin to pass blame when, I ain't doin nothin
|
Middle class folks wanna sit and point fingers
|
I know we ain't rich but we ain't broke, come on think first
|
You think we need (this), liquor or weed (this)
|
XBox 360 to succeed?
|
And you think we need these designer jeans
|
These finer things for our life to be complete? (please)
|
I hate preachin, I know that I don't do enough
|
Tight with my money and I know that I should loosen up
|
Life is tough and I know that it can seem hard
|
But a lot of people are worse off then we are
|
|
[Chorus: w/ ad libs]
|
|
[Break]
|
|
(Where are you?)
|
|
[Outro: Classified - talking]
|
The world's a little bit bigger than just the street you live on
|
Open up your eyes a bit
|
