There's no such thing as a government There's only people rulin' over people People jerkin' around people People lendin' a hand to people What part of the system do you play? Who do you oppress? Uhh What kinda world are we livin' in? Yo What kinda world are we livin' in? Can I get with my people? Can I sit with my people? Break bread with my people? Move ahead with my people? What kinda world are we livin' in? Yo What kinda world are we livin' in? Can I get with my people? When every day Seven thousand kids are gettin' locked up When every day The justice system seems to stay stocked up When every day They cuttin' 'em down 'fore they even pop up When every day You gotta duck 'fore you get shot up What kinda world are we livin' in Spinnin' in, winnin' in, sinnin' in? Let us begin again Churches are run like corporations makin' me holla Corporations are run like churches praisin' the dollar There's no way out, or is it? Release your doubt and live it Teachin' metaphysics don't listen to these critics, hear it What kinda world are we livin' in? Believe in yourself, achieve for yourself, see for yourself Speak for yourself, never weaken yourself by deceivin' yourself Believe in your wealth, c'mon What kinda world are we livin' in? Yo What kinda world are we livin' in? Can I get with my people? Can I sit with my people? Break bread with my people? Move ahead with my people? Yo, yo, yeah What kinda world are we livin' out? We move about in fear and doubt, tryin' to get more clout Just check it, check it out, we took the wrong route To a morality drought, basically I'm callin' 'em out What kinda world are we livin' in When a song will not get on Unless it talks 'bout thongs Now where did we go wrong? We don't have long Preference all torn, all worn not norm and all gone What kinda world do we live around, when we lay around Let me break it down, they shuttin' us down While we play around, we fallin', stallin' While God's callin', all in to fall in What kinda world are we livin' in? Yo What kinda world are we livin' in? Can I get with my people? Can I sit with my people? Break bread with my people? Move ahead with my people? What kinda world are we livin' in? Yo What kinda world are we livin' in? Can I get with my people? When every day Another unwanted pregnancy ends When every day Another person is betrayed by a friend When every day It never ends, and the people pretend like The President is there 'cause of them Let me ask What kinda world can we really trust When the cops they can shoot at us? Bo bo What kinda world can we really grow (Ohh) When our daughters wanna be hoes? (Ohh) And a father that nobody knows (Ohh) And a mother wearin' them sexy clothes (Ho) What kinda world are we livin' in, yo? What kinda world are we livin' in, uhh? Can I get with my people? Can I sit with my people? Break bread with my people? Move ahead with my people? Can I sit with my people? Can I get with my people? Break bread with my people? Move ahead with my people? Can I sit with my people? Can I get with my people? Break bread with my people? Move ahead with my people? Fresh for two thousand one, you suckaz
