I'm trying hard not to cry.
I'm trying hard to stop the tears in my eyes
if they fall, they won't stop
and i don't need to cry
it's not that i'm afraid
of what might happen
I know what'll happen
But i just can't
i don't want to cry
because once i start
I'll cry over EVERYTHING
my childhood, my worst mistake, the lies i tell, my first love...
EVERYTHING
I just can't bring that back
So, i'll suck it up
I won't let myself be me

"what's wrong with the world mama?
people livin' like they ain't got no mama
i think the whole is just makin' drama
only attracted to things that'll bring you trama
over seas, ya we tryin' to stop terrorism
but we still got terrorists here livin'
in the U.S.A.
they fix the C.I.A.
the bloods, and the cripples, and the KKK
if you only have love for your own race
the you only leave space to discriminate
and it only generates hate
if you hate, then you're bound to get I.R.A.'d
badness is what you deminstrate
and now it's exactly how angle works operate
man, we gotta have love just to set us straight.
take control of you mind and meditate
let your soul gravitate
to the love y'all
people kill, and people dyin'
children hurt and hear them cryin'
can you practice what you preach?
would you turn the other cheek?
father, father, father help us
need some guidance from above
cause people got me got me questioning
Where is the love?"
