‘ey yo
The world really be cryin’ out for help you know?
What have we gotten ourselves into?
Yeah
Why everybody talking like they ain’t got a clue?
Of what they gotta do, just to reach a little truce
It’s like we’re so trigger happy, to be the first ones to be saying “Come at me”
When did we get to this point of not caring?
Deep down we all a bunch of Karens
Looking for some problems and hope to never solve em
Long as we stay vocal and tell em that we Got Em
Man our ego’s too big for our sanity!
How we gon’ sustain our planet for our families?
Living so happily ever after’s just a pipe dream now…how?
How did we descend from a glimmer of community
To all of us scoffing when we hear the term unity?
A whole lot of lunacy is what we be attracted to
Take a look at Twitter, that’s the world’s attitude
Everyone be taking big swings like we got 20 lives, talking real cocky like a man with many wives
With not even an iota or respect for human life
Just a matter of time before these Nukes be feeling light
And we start feeling numb to this violent present
Cuz we learned nothing from our history but tainted lessons
No more second guessing, or any hesitating
To let our troops take the first strike like they’re Messi
Man it’s getting messy, and we got to stop the bleeding
Cuz it’s turning into a Tarantino flick without the Feet in
But this is real life dawg, man this ain’t no movie
We all have a choice, and it’s time to be choosy
Choosy for that peace, choosy for them moments we could dance on our feet
Despite any defeat, cuz we chose to live life
The way that it’s meant to be lived, right in the light
And it just feels right, and it’d be worth the fight to go from all the plight, to universal light
That we see in children’s eyes, man we got to rise
To the damn occasion, and what’s a better occasion than to cease the altercations?
This is just the basics to see humanity manifest into something we can all put our faith in
And it’s not too late in the game for all of us to put our minds and our hearts towards a common goal
And I ain’t talking gold, I’m talking about striking up the tools that we need so we can achieve peace
And maybe tame the beast, that’ll be living within ourselves, and straight feeding our egos
And we don’t need more Heroes, we just need some peace man…
And we can get that peace dog
We can get that peace man…
