Where is the Love?
LIVET: Det är helt sjukt att människan tar liv i sina egna händer. När blev det så lätt att skada en annan människa? Jag blir helt förkrossad när jag får höra om hur folk dödar "sina egna". Liksom hur mycket skit måste man hålla på med för att förtjäna att dö, enligt någon random person? Tydligen har det blivit okej att skjuta mitt under dagsljuset. Tydligen har det blivit okej att skjuta på offentliga platser och träffa fel. Jag förstår inte ens att mina föräldrar låter mig gå ut hemifrån längre. Personligen skulle jag inte våga uppfostra barn under detta läge, tror jag. Själv känner jag fortfarande en rädsla för vissa saker, och jag har ett samvete som jag inte kan släppa. Är det möjligtvis de två egenskaperna, eller vad jag ska kalla dem, som saknas hos en del? Jag förstår bara inte, men ville avsluta här med att skriva vila i frid till de två grabbarna som blev skjutna igår - Amen! Situationen fick mig i alla fall att tänka på denna sångtext...
What's wrong with the world mama?
People living like they ain't got no mamas
I think the whole world's addicted to the drama
Only attracted to the things that bring you trauma
Overseas, yeah, we trying to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here living
In the USA, the big CIA, the Bloodz 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 if you hating you're bound to get irate
Yeah, madness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
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
People killing, people dying
Children hurting, you hear them crying
Can you practice what you preach?
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father, Father, Father help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning
Where is the love?
It just ain't the same all ways have changed
New days are strange, is the world the insane?
If love and peace so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong
Nations dropping bombs
Chemical gases filling lungs of little ones
With ongoing suffering
As the youth die young
So ask yourself is the loving really strong?
So I can ask myself really what is going wrong
With this world that we living in
People keep on giving in
Making wrong decisions
Only visions of them living and
Not respecting each other
Deny thy, brother
The wars' going on but the reasons' undercover
The truth is kept secret
Swept under the rug
If you never know truth
Then you never know love
Where's the love y'all? (I don't know)
People killing, people dying
Children hurting, you hear them crying
Can you practice what you preach?
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father, Father, Father help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning
Where is the love?
I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm getting older y'all people get colder
Most of us only care about money making
Selfishness got us following the wrong direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting their young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what the see in the cinema
Whatever happened to the values of humanity?
Whatever happened to the fairness and equality?
Instead of spreading love, we're spreading anomosity
Lack of understanding, leading us away from unity
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feeling under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feeling down
It's no wonder why sometimes I'm feeling under
I gotta keep my faith alive, until love is found
