World Lyrics

World lyrics

[Hispanic Woman]

What the world needs is true expression

From the soul and the heart

What the world needs is you and me

What the world needs is the universe and love

Please remain seated



[Slimkid3]

People walk with the eyes of a child

And a smile so innocent and a heart so militant

Brain's got an ill intent so be intense

Some friends at the margin

Making summer streams harden

All these bulls shitting

Trying to milk me by the carton

But, uh, excuse me sir, I begs your pardon

Can't you see how low the hole has gotten?

Apple's completely rotten with the worm in it

Dying, still we're relying on who?

In this case I face the grace 

Of my unseen God

Even the taste of what's seemingly odd

Relieving what stress I manifested

From the weight of the world on my chest

Feeling restless, ready to hurt someone

But a hurt that size never eased the eyes

To no one, it's no fun

Selfless shades of living

Got to feel each day that's given 



[Chorus 2X: Slimkid3/Woman]

Now what the world needs is a love

That's sweeter than the melodies

That makes you go around and round and round



[Imani/Citizen Strange]

In too many situations I'm finding more complications

Than childirth but this my earth and I'm a

Conscious creature of creation

Here/hear with my imagination

Living for my son, dying for my son

Walking into the Sun, each one teach one

And it's love that completes the mission

And adds to everything that you thought was missing

Listen, you got to keep your mind, body and soul in check

In this land of no respect, where it's all about the cheque

I'm looking for a better day

Thinking that there's got to be a better way

Ask Tre, when I'm challenged

I use my talents to balance

And to rise like helium

Using love to find that happy medium

Forget that hostility

Cause with love there's always a possibility



[Chorus]



[Bootie Brown/Frank Fiction]

Attempts at convincing me

To downplay another man's form of expression

That's not what I'm here to do

I fear it too but the future is now

And how can I make a song

That makes the world sing songs of love

And peace

When everyday's a fight with hate and the beast

On what seems like unfair grounds

Everybody I know is loading up rounds

For protection, well being and safety

Which is capitalised

Watching out for niggas fantasizing that they're Tupac

With only two cents, way too tense

Looking to prove and convince

That they're big balling

But their neighbours was calling

Now they're hauling that ass out to Chino

Got a girl with the bambino on the way

Due like a library textbook

Writing letters, praying to God

That my son is not the next crook

Sent out to join Poppa

Wish life was like a soap opera

With the happy ending

But you know love is always recommending



[Chorus]



[Scott Wilson]

Do we believe that we're civilized, sophisticated or advanced

So quick to draw blood if given a chance

We dance with the Devil and romance with his rage

With a curse on our mind our prayers seem vague

The plague that sweeps across the garden is fear 

Scared of our questions for the days that come near

So we stand guard over our bag of fool's gold

Never bowing our heads for the souls that we sold

And it's cold for the heart that stays towards itself

And only feels love for the abundance of wealth

But you can't pay your way through the gates of paradise

And you can't camouflage your grief from God's eyes

But lucky for us the Creator sees clear

With visions of times when we shed few tears

When our smiles have stretched from ear to ear

All the steps that we've travelled from year to year

And he loves who we are deep down inside

Forgives all the hatred, the greed and the pride

It's the same kind of love that could keep us afloat

When we all realise we need the same boat

With our hands interlocked we could carry the Sun

And bring forth the light where the damage was done

So let's do the raindance and water the seeds

And pray that the harvest brings what we all need
