Don't you realize how you're being duped?
How they get your head fucked with?
How they have you indoctrinated?
How they have you conditioned?
How they misinformed you?
Don't you see this? Are you that blind?
You want me to tell you what's immoral?
War is immoral, poverty is immoral, racism is immoral
Police brutality is immoral, oppression is immoral
Genocide is immoral, imperialism is immoral
Back to the love of arms and drug trades escapades
Bogota to Buenos Aires, overrun by DEA
They making moves to protect the chemical fields
Since before Reaganomics synonymous with high yields
They arm all sides so the paper trails conceal
While still enslaving first nations with threats of a last meal
The revolutions and repeated ideals reveal
The caps peel, the steel defends their development deals
You think the war on drugs is for real?
Who's pushing patent pills? Doctor Phil
With still more prisons to fill
Copping crates of large amounts like Cali counts
With offshore private accounts
Foreign banks with tanks 'til it's time to bounce
Like bad checks, mad dimes to connect
And the government we elect remains the usual suspect
However, the cheddar endeavor to make a man clever
Get you strung out, armed to the teeth, and his profits are better
For whatever, links, rings, material things
In exchange of the constant misery that it brings
People getting sold and murked like indigenous kings
For solo clout, kids berserk, pillaging like Vikings
Not giving a fuck, that seems to be the song that they sing
Ignorance is a vicious thing but man hypocrisy stings
Double standards like statements and applications
Is it "We are the world" or is it greed and gratification?
Nowadays when we see the light, we close our eyes like we died
Living life of president, chilling in the night
Kadi av twat man, kadi av kosh
Yo ka kouche nan lanbliye tout kont yo nan panpan
Tรจt yo di tan kouche woch, mwen vije gen im nan dlo
Sou sa vin dรฉwash, chรจche yon toch man
Pรจdi an pil moun, si n pa fรจ yon men leve
Pou yo sa ka pran kayo, pa che bon che!
Gravite nesesite, nmentalite n yo evolye
N pa ka kouche nan vanite, reyalite n se verite
Tan kou sou tanbou, nou tout gen rou atou
Pesonn pa bay mondye ki bay proteje san nou
Pa pwobete mwen pรจf si w pa ka montre mwen yon prev man
Van mwen solisyon, avan pasi al aksyon
Fatigue tande timoun nou mouri, malifiksyon
Pran vizyon televizyon, netralize tout vizyon
The state of the world depends on who you listen to
Watch news, get confused (Sad but true)
If you're hating on the man 'cause he fucked with your plans
Sip booze, singing the blues (Sad but true)
No matter where you look, the government's a crook
They abuse, we lose (Sad but true)
Take a look at what you see, stop talking to me
Shop for clues, pay dues, dun, show and prove
Come on, show and prove (Come on, show and prove)
Hey yo, show and prove (Come on, show and prove)
Come on, show and prove (Come on, show and prove)
Beside my mind mood transcend like season
Keep my pace oh so uplift my reason
East to west, always I gots to come fresh
I'm daily getting tests, I react with reflex
Organic levitation, no time for hesitation
I've gots to let you by your ill temptation
Patience refreshes my expectations
So everyday elevate this new sensation
It's time that we own all them keys to the city
So we can all say we got real community
'Cause everything's unjust, they say trust we
But really indeed man, they got no pity
They create a problem to create a reaction
And all of a sudden they say they got a solution
Sold them condition in full repetition
We don't realize how they fuel our intention
I feel alone like a complaint, lost in the red tape
Society is uptight, my boss always checkmates
In the streets people walk nervous
Behind the bulletproof windows at the desk, no one's at your service
Observed as we breastfed by corporations
Don't ask for your loot, you get no smile in the administration
And it's the same from the office to the bus
Ain't no eye contact, we let our energy rust
And at night we don't count sheep
The thought of tomorrow makes us lose sleep, the roots deep
Like the failure of an innocent child in school
The system turns geniuses to wilding fools
In my rhythm of life, education mystery
'Cause they put mathematics before history
No respect is left so my perspective's leftist
Drop a suspect message, go, tell 'em who left it
The state of the world depends on who you listen to
Watch news, get confused (Sad but true)
If you're hating on the man 'cause he fucked with your plans
Sip booze, singing the blues (Sad but true)
No matter where you look, the government's a crook
They abuse, we lose (Sad but true)
Take a look at what you see, stop talking to me
Shop for clues, pay dues, dun, show and prove
Come on, show and prove (Come on, show and prove)
Hey yo, show and prove (Come on, show and prove)
Come on, show and prove (Come on, show and prove)
And here you are, defending a miserable existence
Don't you realize how you're being exploited?
How the people who control the money are diminishing your existence
To working in a fucking dirty factory
Which puts black smoke up in the air
Which pollutes the entire world
And you're working your ass off saving money for your kids
Getting pennies while they're making hundreds and hundreds of dollars
