Intro K'NAAN Ever wondered about the hurricane? Ever seen the anger in the rain, false I think it's just the world crying for Asking what the hell we dying for But here's Lloyd, R. Kelly, miss Keri And K'NAAN, yo the shit is getting scary [Verse 1: Lloyd] They spend up all our money, yeah On the rockets in the sky, ah, ah But they don't have a reason So they generate a lie To destruct us from the times There's a hood in every city, yeah From Compton to Bombay, yeah, yeah When nobody likes to be there The system found a way That made them wanna stay [Hook: Lloyd] And I say, ah, da ri rap da ra ra, da ri rap da ra ra Da ri rap da, yeah I hate to see the whole world cry I hate to see the whole world cry If it was up to me, I would wipe tears from your eyes I hate to see the world cry [Verse 2: R. Kelly] We need a plan, anybody please So sick of this god damn earth That I wish that I could hitch hike to heaven And go to god's studio and put in work Playing down my melodies Get the whole world one song to sing Cause hatred's got ourselves a pickle A love costs 5 cents less than a nickel I'm talking about one voice, one love, one color Nobody's rich, nobody's poor Nobody's less, nobody's more Nobody's winning, nobody's loosing No categories, we all music If we can't come to see If the whole world needs peace Then we can touch and agree That we are the true enemies And it makes me wanna say [Hook: R.
