| 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 |
