The world is a ghetto
A concrete jungle
Tell me where did the love go?
Nobody wanna be kind, nobody wanna be humble, oh
The world is a ghetto
A concrete jungle
Tell me where did the love go?
Nobody wanna, nobody wanna, nobody wanna
I si di mad man conquest fot the material again
And baptize the world in fear and shame
Everybody feel the shame, tears are falling like rain
Even mama earth is feeling the pain
I'm telling yo why
Cause every ocean are dying
Pollution in the sky
I know, aight
I see that the world is a ghetto
A concrete jungle
Tell me where did the love go?
Nobody wanna be kind, nobody wanna be humble, oh!
The world is a ghetto
A concrete jungle
Tell me where did the love go?
Nobody wanna, nobody wanna, nobody wanna
We once had the garden full of milk and honey
While the winds they blown and the river be runnin
Now it's snowing in July and December is sunny
You laungh when the things aint funny, I'm telling you
We're being ruled by the system
They trade us spirituality for religion
Surveillance for the politician
And a public school for a private prison and I know
The world is a ghetto
A concrete jungle
Tell me where did the love go?
Nobody wanna be kind, nobody wanna be humble, oh!
The world is a ghetto
A concrete jungle
Tell me where did the love go?
Nobody wanna, nobody wanna, nobody wanna
When the sunlight go down, ima never realize
A baby getting gunned before the sunrise
In babylon living aint easy
The preasure make the youth dem go out, trigger and squeeze it
Bam, bam!
Another dead body pon the ground
Bam, bam!
The neighborhood most familiar sound
They say the money makes the world go round
Yet the economy is going down, ey!
The world is a ghetto
A concrete jungle
Tell me where did the love go?
Nobody wanna be kind, nobody wanna be humble, oh!
The world is a ghetto
A concrete jungle
Tell me where did the love go?
Nobody wanna, nobody wanna, nobody wanna
We are children of the most high
Oh yes, a ba ba janai and
We will fight the system down every day
Ya mad a mon, till you say
We are children of the most high
Oh yes, a ba ba janai and
We will fight the system down every day
Ya mad a mon, till you say
The world is a ghetto
A concrete jungle
Tell me where did the love go?
Nobody wanna be kind, nobody wanna be humble, oh!
The world is a ghetto
A concrete jungle
Tell me where did the love go?
Nobody wanna, nobody wanna, nobody wanna
