Worlds Apart |
They say the first world NATO |
Second world Soviet |
Third world neutral but the Cold War’s over |
NASA vs. Sputnik, space technology |
Can’t solve poverty but got a Mars rover |
Old world Europe, new world Americas |
Third world countries face mass hysteria |
Old world hardly, new world not even |
Third world where they both stay thievin' |
First world problems, third world repercussions |
Concussions and cuts direct cross can bandage |
Every vantage point show who at a disadvantage |
Boss the whole globe around but still can’t manage |
To take care of our own, treat our home like a broad |
So disrespected, the rights selected |
To be protected leaves so many wrongs neglected |
America’s dream shake shop, reject it |
Can’t atone for the disenfranchised |
You’re not even contrite to the disrespected |
Blood on your hands runs deep, can’t disinfect it |
The sins of the father give resurrected |
They say the old world brought up a new world order |
And ran up in the third world and divvied up borders |
Tribes were divided by countries that were thought up |
Economically held back and never caught up |
Power corrupts and the oppressed get slaughtered |
Mothers and fathers’ll lose sons and daughters |
Brothers and sisters denied human rights |
And can’t even guarentee themselves clean drinking water |
First world speaker, second world spoken to |
Third world who they conversatin' about |
Hardly even got a voice in the conversation |
So the words fall on deaf ears and get drowned out |
But uh, speaking as the first person, I can’t take it |
Speaking to the second person, you on some snake shit |
Speaking for the third person, they ain’t gon' make it |
But who are we to talk 'cause it’s really our fault |
They say the opposite of love is not hate, it’s apathy |
So lack of self-love ain’t self-hate, it’s apathy |
We so desensitized by travesty and tragedy |
How we supposed to realize humanity’s majesty |
Need to set straight the presiding magistrate |
Then eperate mankind’s fate from the acts of hate |
Can’t afford to wait to get facts straight |
The lies hit so hard facts break |
The white man’s burden still the brown man’s backache |
It’s like the justice just missed the bus because |
They say murder has no statute of limitations |
But genocide does or is that just us, come on |
