| Our world is hopeless, and we have no where to go Our children are hungry, and we can’t feed the poor
|
| Were really hopeless, spread some love before
|
| And love that and hold in Lord I really miss my friends
|
| Lord please help us Now as I walk through the streets I see many people under pressure
|
| Cause uh life ain’t easy and you know this world gon' test ya My daddy told me C one day you gon' be faced with this problem
|
| And you and only you must find the knowledge to solve it My momma said Lord gives us tests to measure our faith
|
| And if you really believe in God, then you shall smile on judgement day
|
| Cause at the crossroads ain’t no hunger, and every man the same color
|
| And when it’s my time to open 'em gates cause uh I really miss my brother
|
| And you the only man that can judge me So please guide me to the right direction
|
| And why can’t I put this gun up and use my Bible for protection
|
| And it’s an everyday struggle, don’t expect nothing to change in a week
|
| But Lord help us in this hopeless world
|
| Cause I don’t wanna die in the streets
|
| Chorus
|
| Now I done been stop shedding tears, now my eyes bleed when they cry
|
| And I never understand why, everybody gotta die
|
| And everything that’s born gotta go, and I really think that’s a shame
|
| And I’m so tired of reminiscin'
|
| Trying to put a face to a name
|
| You put my grandfather in my life, and then you took him away
|
| Yeah, big daddy used to drink but uh, he gave me a place to stay
|
| And many kids starving overseas, and even right here on my block
|
| My auntie told me in the year 2000 that the world was gon' stop
|
| Now I don’t wanna question you Lord, but is violence really the answer
|
| And if not, then how come so many innocent people diein' of the cancer
|
| Now revolations say the world gon' end, but the world ain’t over yet
|
| And it’s up to us to move on, but in our hearts we’ll never forget
|
| Chorus
|
| They say God created man, and put man on this earth
|
| And then came woman from there, and from there, there was birth
|
| And ever since Eve gave Adam the apple, the bible’s like the spell
|
| And introduced mankind, not only to Heaven, but a place called Hell
|
| Even though we try to repent, it’s too many gangstas taking us down
|
| My cousin tried to leave the streets, and now he laying in the ground
|
| And Jesus died for our sins, but I wonder if he wasted his time
|
| Cause it’s 1999, and this world is still blind
|
| Now I don’t wanna lose my freedom, cause I’m this close to making it big
|
| Now I don’t know if I’m a make a difference
|
| But I just wanna be there for my kids
|
| Now that’s a hopeless situation, when will it end, I don’t know
|
| But Lord help cause your children, ain’t got no where else to go Chorus 3X |
