[Hispanic Woman] What the world needs is true expression From the soul and the heart What the world needs is you and me What the world needs is the universe and love Please remain seated
[Slimkid3] People walk with the eyes of a child And a smile so innocent and a heart so militant Brain's got an ill intent so be intense Some friends at the margin Making summer streams harden All these bulls shitting Trying to milk me by the carton But, uh, excuse me sir, I begs your pardon Can't you see how low the hole has gotten? Apple's completely rotten with the worm in it Dying, still we're relying on who? In this case I face the grace Of my unseen God Even the taste of what's seemingly odd Relieving what stress I manifested From the weight of the world on my chest Feeling restless, ready to hurt someone But a hurt that size never eased the eyes To no one, it's no fun Selfless shades of living Got to feel each day that's given
[Chorus 2X: Slimkid3/Woman] Now what the world needs is a love That's sweeter than the melodies That makes you go around and round and round
[Imani/Citizen Strange] In too many situations I'm finding more complications Than childirth but this my earth and I'm a Conscious creature of creation Here/hear with my imagination Living for my son, dying for my son Walking into the Sun, each one teach one And it's love that completes the mission And adds to everything that you thought was missing Listen, you got to keep your mind, body and soul in check In this land of no respect, where it's all about the cheque I'm looking for a better day Thinking that there's got to be a better way Ask Tre, when I'm challenged I use my talents to balance And to rise like helium Using love to find that happy medium Forget that hostility Cause with love there's always a possibility
[Chorus]
[Bootie Brown/Frank Fiction] Attempts at convincing me To downplay another man's form of expression That's not what I'm here to do I fear it too but the future is now And how can I make a song That makes the world sing songs of love And peace When everyday's a fight with hate and the beast On what seems like unfair grounds Everybody I know is loading up rounds For protection, well being and safety Which is capitalised Watching out for niggas fantasizing that they're Tupac With only two cents, way too tense Looking to prove and convince That they're big balling But their neighbours was calling Now they're hauling that ass out to Chino Got a girl with the bambino on the way Due like a library textbook Writing letters, praying to God That my son is not the next crook Sent out to join Poppa Wish life was like a soap opera With the happy ending But you know love is always recommending
[Chorus]
[Scott Wilson] Do we believe that we're civilized, sophisticated or advanced So quick to draw blood if given a chance We dance with the Devil and romance with his rage With a curse on our mind our prayers seem vague The plague that sweeps across the garden is fear Scared of our questions for the days that come near So we stand guard over our bag of fool's gold Never bowing our heads for the souls that we sold And it's cold for the heart that stays towards itself And only feels love for the abundance of wealth But you can't pay your way through the gates of paradise And you can't camouflage your grief from God's eyes But lucky for us the Creator sees clear With visions of times when we shed few tears When our smiles have stretched from ear to ear All the steps that we've travelled from year to year And he loves who we are deep down inside Forgives all the hatred, the greed and the pride It's the same kind of love that could keep us afloat When we all realise we need the same boat With our hands interlocked we could carry the Sun And bring forth the light where the damage was done So let's do the raindance and water the seeds And pray that the harvest brings what we all need
