[Sample] Where do they go? Oh I dont know. Nobody knows. [Verse One] I aint vote for Bush, but we got him And I aint pull a gun on King, but we shot him The whole world is rock bottom It gets about as ghetto as Harlem 1000 news, Showtime at The Apollo Watch then follow my lead, its harder to breathe Ozone layer falling into the sea From the birds in the sky to the lands and trees Whats worse man got it for free I guess its harder for me to see my folks, beautiful black folks Strung out on dope and getting life on death row Some in denial some saying its not so Some still praying while preaching the gospel And every takeover now is extremely hostile And peace is about as rare as summers in Moscow I guess thats a day in the world Its the way of the world The worlds at war [Hook] Its like War of the World and Im Orson Wells Little kids seem lost themselves They were born in Heaven tossed to Hell of course its real In third world countries kids starving for meals And its not like its part of the deal, this part is for real Ima hold faith and keep God as my shield Ima hold faith and keep God as my shield Ima hold faith [Verse Two] Yeah that Twin Tower shit mustve shook your block If you was west coast it shook your block Took firefighters and cops, young dreams brought to a stop Had a war brought right to our docks The great American melting pot Its New York, you forgot? Ground Zero, home to thousands of heroes And heroines Both women and men As I watch Channel 10 they still bringing them in Yet we still sending men to war Many died for their country Others lose a limb come home and go hungry On the street theres eight million stories to weep Eight million reasons I cant sleep [Hook] x2 [Verse Three] NASCAR lost Earnhardt, number three But we lost three letters, B.I.G And P.A.C They were shot, I was shocked Just like when BDP lost Scott LaRock Speaking of Big, peace out to L and Pun Both lyrically gifted but chosen ones To my man Freaky Tah who made us party From the hoods east coast, west coast and everybody Now a days everybody be packing the heat Whats strange is it can happen to me Thats why Im rapping for peace A piece of mind, piece of time in the spotlight Aaliyah had hers but it was lost in a short flight Artist with a short life, worst case scenario Left Eye, Jam Master Jay still in the videos Young and beautiful, I guess thats the way But you never know so be thankful for every day [Hook]
