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
