[00:00:00]Living in this world
[00:05:00]What's happening?
[00:18:00]What's happening?check it out
[00:20:50]It's critical,the situation is pitiful
[00:23:50]Bear in mind,you gotta find somethin spiritual
[00:26:00]We never gain,cause we blame it on the system
[00:28:50]You oughta listen whether Muslim or Christian
[00:31:00]Or any other type religion or creed
[00:33:70]Cause what we need is less greed
[00:36:00]We can't continue to kill ourselves
[00:38:50]We gotta build and expand our wealth
[00:41:00]So one more time I'll design a rhyme divine
[00:43:70]To educate and elevate your mind
[00:46:00]Nowadays we gotta fight to live
[00:49:00]Human means we got a right to live
[00:51:00]Without the homicide, without the genocide
[00:54:00]Don't tell me let it slide,I'm feelin ghettofied
[00:57:00]So be a soldier of truth
[00:59:00]Protect the lives of our youth
[01:01:50]Living in this world
[01:06:00]What's happening?
[01:19:00]What's happening
[01:21:20]In the land of the free,home of the brave
[01:24:00]Too many of us reach such early graves
[01:27:00]They tell us to behave,but they don't know
[01:29:50]About the neighborhood drug flow
[01:31:50]They don't know about the drama or about the guns
[01:34:50]I ask how many politicians steal our funds
[01:36:80]And how many officers will turn up corrupt
[01:39:70]The governments don't care,they pass the buck
[01:42:30]I'm growin tired of the trickery
[01:44:00]And the misery,it's makin me kinda sick you see
[01:47:00]But now I meditate,so I can get it straight
[01:50:00]My thoughts penetrate,so I control my fate
[01:52:50]So be advised by the wise and concious one
[01:55:00]We take the easy way out,too often son
[01:57:40]We better get some kind of work ethic
[02:00:00]Realize it and correct it
[02:02:50]Living in this world
[02:07:00]What's happening?
[02:20:00]What's happening
[02:22:30]From New York to L.A. dead children lay
[02:25:00]Victims of an unfair socie-ty
[02:28:00]But for those who are blessed
[02:30:00]We must correct this mess, or dissapear into nothingness
[02:33:00]We're living in the age of doom
[02:35:30]How many teachers reach all the kids in the classroom?
[02:38:00]The beast is stalking us,but there's no stopping us
[02:40:80]As long as we maintain the strength within us
[02:43:40]Cause we're winners,descendants of the kings
[02:46:00]They try to hinder us from doin our thing
[02:48:00]So get the money,but spend it wisely
[02:51:00]I get ill when the beats hypnotize me
[02:53:50]Realize that the key
[02:55:80]Is for each,to master,his own destiny
[02:58:20]Deal with reality,and keep a tight focus
[03:01:00]Cause there's a lot we got to cope with
[03:03:00]Living in this world
[03:08:00]What's happening?
