Hey baby I noticed you for the last few days you ain't been yourself no sun rays in your smile
Close to the edge like furious five wow
U.s. Keeps the mind in a single file line what I do about it now is make moves
I tour around the world from japan to liverpool
I've seen a lot of sights that can turn your sight around
Let's get up out the ghetto cuz we're lost and need to be found
America is a place were they bombard you with news and images
Showing their opinions and claiming how true it is
So much information and differing viewpoints
They got us spinning around
We don't know which way to point
Some places over seas whether rich or in poverty
You know about self it's a different kind of wealth
Not dissing america it's a great place to live
But listen to the knowledge I give yo..
The news makes you think the world is horrible
The u.s.is safe and the rest a toilet bowl
Violence terrorism uncontrollable
The world is a friendly place it's beautiful
Don't let nobody trap your mind
Don't let nobody trap your mind
Don't let nobody trap your mind
Open your mind open your mind
Our images of africa are horrible
One sided like everybody's poor or corruptible
Living in the jungles bellies popping out
Breast all showing like the woman there ain't about
Looking their very best nice dressed educated
Like lauren hill baby we've been mis- educated
Money ain't how a person really makes it
Diamonds ain't only in bracelets they inside you
A nation of millions couldn't stop our music
But then it got abusive dumped down and stupid
About cold cash how they calling that hotness
We bring it from the bottom they bringing it topless
And we ain't stopping
We revolutionaries so we scheming and plotting
No flipping no flopping
They all a bunch of judas's just out for the profit
Now we up in the cock pit knocking em out of it
Refrain
Oow-don't let the u.s. Get you down
This world is big this world is round you gotta get up and find yourself
The world is a friendly place
This world is beautiful
You can find a friendly face out there
This world is beautiful
This world is a friendly place
This word is beautiful
They want us to just stay scared but
This world is beautiful
