Artists Joshua Bedasi, Violin Sharjeel Iftikhar, Violin Adrian Singh, Viola Joseph Subrath, Cello & Rapping/Singing Artist Statement | New Lyrics By Adrian Singh (with assistance from Alex Skolnick, 11th Grade) Verse What's the world turning into mamaThe world changed when we got Obama I think the world's addicted to violence Only things that will bring you trauma Overseas we trying to stop violence Walk into graveyards hearing silence There is a solution not destruction We shall rebuild, start with construction Shootings with politicians having no shame All presidents are acting the same No pride, no justice, and inequality Acting out of turn without any loyalty. All the bombs burning down trees Air pollution, started with factories Over here with racial discrimination Seeing ISIS with intimidation. Saw the politicians make us wanna take Gives up time to retaliate Anger is what you demonstrate So take a minute and meditate The bombs we drop kill our agriculture Armies raiding just like vultures Original Lyrics By the Black-Eyed Peas What's wrong with the world, mama People livin' like they ain't got no mamas I think the whole world addicted to the drama Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism But we still got terrorists here livin' In the USA, the big CIA The Bloods and The Crips and the KKK But if you only have love for your own race Then you only leave space to discriminate And to discriminate only generates hate And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah Madness is what you demonstrate And that's exactly how anger works and operates Man, you gotta have love just to set it straight Take control of your mind and meditate Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all, y'all Chorus: People killin', people dyin' Children hurt and you hear them cryin' Can you practice what you preach And would you turn the other cheek Father, Father, Father help us Send us some guidance from above 'Cause people got me, got me questionin' Where is the love [4x] The love, the love |
