Our world

This world!....this world...

this world owes you nothing but trouble and the blues!
messed up moods, tangled with flint shaped faces, and promised dissatisfaction

This world!...this world....

this world brings you pain & shame, hunger and misery!
all of the things that make you, me!
to be alive, and not to be free...in this world...this world...

This life!..this life...
this life, is filled with ups and downs, ins and outs...
don't expect to wait to get served, walk to be right!
you've got to fight, for every dream had, in your childish, starless nights

For this life...in this life...
you've got to get down, dig in, and shine!
cause even the blind have made leaps and bounds with their handicap
what makes you different!?
sitting on momma's lap, sucking on dried breast!
moaning & screaming, still having her clean your mess!?
My brother, my sista! it's time to rise!

Cause this life...this life!
you've to to kill or be killed, get or get nothing at all, wake up or get trampled!
Cause nothing comes easy! NOTHING!
Nothing comes on a platter...and if it does you should make that a matter of prayer!
cause i can assure you, for long...it's not gonna be there, it will be shared, and even taken away!
For some people may say, you don't deserve this!...GET AWAY!

So what you gonna do!
Are you gonna be swept away, in your sailing day, thinking "i can't today! but tomorrow i'll try!"

Tomorrow! Tomorrow!...
Tomorrow is promised to no one, tomorrow, is the darkest of any midnight...
Tomorrow, can only be had, and you may even be glad, by tomorrow, because of TODAY!

Your sweat, of which you can pay!
Your voice that can be heard miles & miles away!
The nations that can be had, with the flick of a wrist, the wink of an eye, and a hand shake of confidence.

Heights of great men, reached and kept were not attained by...
crying to your momma!
mopping on the street corner!
or thinking that you've got the most baby momma drama...or by
choking on your seed!
puffing on your weed!
or looking at the chick next door, wondering "i wonder how she breathes at night!?"

You see, for this world, in this life...
we've got to jump fear, and get there...
yea...there!...
the place were we all belong as a people, as a nation, as a world...
that place called unity!
cause in you! and me!...there is that free we all dream about...

that joy inside, so we can all scream and shout!
cause even though this world have had the despaired and the sad!
There's coming a day, that we all can say!
Hallelujah! PRAISE GOD! for today!....today is a new day!!
