00:00The world weeps cause we'd rather be at war
00:07Than provide health benefits to the poor
00:09The economy falls, anarchy soars
00:12And the crisis is elevated for the mis-educated
00:15Some of our schools are developing fools
00:17With the help of the media turned into tools
00:19That are misuse, abusing, left to dead
00:22Like my nervous youth that can't even get some bread
00:24In places like India, Sudan and Niger
00:27Greeders turn honest men into liars
00:29That profit off destruction and desperation
00:32Yet somehow, can't clean up the debt we're facing
00:34As it becomes most of the wealth's owned by a few
00:37That don't give a damn if the leaders all in the doom
00:39Getting hotter every day, planning starting to melt
00:42Maybe she weeps because we're all headed for hell
00:44New drama every day, let me find out
00:47Will it be death by blood or pie drought
00:49Shed a tear for the world before it dies out
00:52And we don't really have something to cry about
00:54To ride out

01:05They say there ain't to be faithfully married with kids
01:07But faith is, son, we know what the reality is
01:09The average kid don't even know his daddy is his
01:12And these days they seem to see more gay than straight marriages
01:14The world weeps because more stress can only lead to more tears
01:17They let the television news manipulate you through fear
01:19They lock you up for weeks so they can inundate you with fear
01:22While the North Pole is melting in the next ten years
01:24As long as couples keep cheating, governments keep sleeping
01:27There will always be a reason why the world keeps weeping
01:30Crooked cops keep beating while policing
01:31Abusing while they cruising, the world weeps because of confusion
01:35Mother Earth's soft skin, we come in cover with contusions
01:37From rainforest killing machines, burning and bruising
01:40From the cradle to the grave, we forgot what she gave
01:42So she weeps cause we treat her and beat her like a slave
01:45Drama every day, let me find out
01:47Will it be left by flood or fire drought?
01:49Shed a tear for the world before it dies out
01:52And we don't really have something to cry about
01:54To ride out
01:55All we need to change for the better is what you want
01:58And of course a change for the weather is what you need
02:00All we need to change for the better is what you want
02:03And of course a change in the weather is what you need
02:04We need to change for the better like a change in bad weather
02:07Change your mind so we can change our focus, get it together
02:09Change the way we think, speak, act, and feel
02:12The world weeps cause my peeps still acting ill
02:14We got swan blue, ghetto liquor stores with the drive-thru
02:17Crime through the roof and the ceiling, need I remind you
02:20The politicians either reject you or neglect you
02:22But Hurricane Katrina proves the puns don't protect you
02:25Maybe they don't protect you, cause they don't respect you
02:27So you lash out when they least expect you
02:30Our mother, why I must have passed majority
02:32Suffer due to mistakes, I got minority
02:35Others who am I to question your authority
02:37My brothers should've known to treat you like royalty
02:40But they chose otherwise and now another dies
02:42And it's no wonder why I'm watching my mother cry
02:45Drama every day, let me find out
02:47Will it be left by flood or fire drought?
02:49Shed a tear for the world before it dies out
