what's wrong with the world mama
people livin' like they ain't got no mama
i think the whole world is addicted to the drama
only attracted to things that bring ya trauma
over seas
yeah we tryin' 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 you're bound to get irate, yeah
madness is what you demonstrate
and that's exactly how anger works and operates
man youve gotta have love to set it straight
take control of your mind and meditate
let your soul gravitate to the love ya'll

(Chorus)

people killin'
people dyin'
children hurt
and women cryin'
do you practice what you've preached
but you turned the other cheek
father, father, father help us
send some guidence from above
cuz people got me, got me questioning
where is the love
where is the love(3x)
where is the love, the love right now

it just ain't the same
always a change
new days are strange
is the world the same?
if love and peace is strong
what are pieces of love that don't belong
nations erupt bombs
chemical gasses filling lungs of little ones
with ongoing suffering
as the youth are young
so ask yourself is the lovin' really gone
so i can ask myself really what is goin' wrong
in this world that we livin' in
people keep on givin' in
makin' wrong decisions
only visions of the livin' in
not respectin' each other
deny thy brother
a war's goin' on but the reason is undercover
the truth is kept secret
is swept under the rug
if you never know truth
then you'll never know love
where's the love y'all c'mon
(i don' know)
where's the truth y'all c'mon
(i don' know)
where is the love y'all

(Chorus)

i feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
as i'm gettin older, yo people gettin colder
most of us only care about money makin'
selfishness got us followin' the wrong direction
wrong information always showed by the media
negative images instigate criteria
infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
kids wanna act like what they see in the cinema yo
what ever happened to the value of humanity
whatever happened to the fairness and equality
instead of spreading love we spreading animosity
lack of understanding leading us away from unity
that's the reason why sometimes i'm feelin under
that's the reason why sometimes i'm feelin down
it's no wonder why sometimes i'm feelin under
gotta keep my faith alive until love is found
Now ask yourself
(Chorus)
