Any man can stand adversity
But if you want to test his true character
Give him power

O lord
Will somebody help me
Can anybody give me
Some refuge from this wretched pain
I said
Good lord
I don't think the world see me
Then why would they leave me
To suffer and die another day

I'm bringing' this one wit a heavy heart
Praise Allah for the art
World poverty's a comradery
An we gotta stop it
Stop the warring
Toddlers dying
Mothers mourning
In the west
We take for granted
What we born in
An our planets in peril
But then who's really surprised
It's time ya eyes
Wide open
Cuz mother earth ain't joking
Man she battered
Madda than a hatta
Broke
Bruised
Exploited like the nightly news
Used and abused
So we gotta do betta than this
We locked in the struggle
Come to grips
Wit why Port au Prince
Was reduced to rubble
It's a small sign of trouble
And
We all in the line
Catastrophic cataclysm
Shape ya world vision

O lord
Will somebody help me
Can anybody give me
Some refuge from this wretched pain
I said
Good lord
I don't think the world see me
Then why would they leave me
To suffer and die another day

Tsunami
Central tele comm
Road side bomb
Staff sergeant only 22
An he's gone
An so is 4 year old Hassan
It goes
On and on
And
On And on
And on
And on
And on
And none prosper
In the long run they gotcha
Wondering who the hell shot ya
An it's wrong
I gotcha
It's betta to feed the needy
Than be greedy
It's betta you slow your roll speedy
It's Betta ya vision see me
And vice versa
Immersed in the vision of winning
For tha sake o tha children
From tha begining
No Spinning in this building
For God's children I see
Peace Freedom Justice Equality
