What Kinda World

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
