Living, in this world

What’s happening?

Living, in this world

What’s happening?

What’s happening.

check it out

It’s critical, the situation is pitiful

Bear in mind, you gotta find somethin spiritual

We never gain, cause we blame it on the system

You oughta listen whether Muslim or Christian

Or any other type religion or creed

Cause what we need is less greed

We can’t continue to kill ourselves

We gotta build and expand our wealth

So one more time I’ll design a rhyme divine

To educate and elevate your mind

Nowadays we gotta fight to live

Human means we got a right to live

Without the homicide, without the genocide

Don’t tell me let it slide, I’m feelin ghettofied

So be a soldier of truth

Protect the lives of our youth

Living, in this world

What’s happening?

Living, in this world

What’s happening?

What’s happening

In the land of the free, home of the brave

Too many of us reach such early graves

They tell us to behave, but they don’t know

About the neighborhood drug flow

They don’t know about the drama or about the guns

I ask how many politicians steal our funds

And how many officers will turn up corrupt

The governments don’t care, they pass the buck

I’m growin tired of the trickery

And the misery, it’s makin me kinda sick you see

But now I meditate, so I can get it straight

My thoughts penetrate, so I control my fate

So be advised by the wise and concious one

We take the easy way out, too often son

We better get some kind of work ethic

Realize it and correct it

Living, in this world

Living, in this world

What’s happening?

What’s happening

From New York to L.A., dead children lay

Victims of an unfair socie-ty

But for those who are blessed

We must correct this mess, or dissapear into nothingness

We’re living in the age of doom

How many teachers reach all the kids in the classroom?

The beast is stalking us, but there’s no stopping us

As long as we maintain the strength within us

Cause we’re winners, descendants of the kings

They try to hinder us from doin our thing

So get the money, but spend it wisely

I get ill when the beats hypnotize me

Realize that the key

Is for each, to master, his own destiny

Deal with reality, and keep a tight focus

Cause there’s a lot we got to cope with
