World Cry - Lloyd, R. Kelly, Keri Hilson

Intro K’NAAN

Ever wondered about the hurricane?

Ever seen the anger in the rain, false

I think it’s just the world crying for

Asking what the hell we dying for

But here’s Lloyd, R. Kelly, miss Keri

And K’NAAN, yo the shit is getting scary

They spend up all our money, yeah

On the rockets in the sky, ah, ah

But they don’t have a reason

So they generate a lie

To destruct us from the times

There’s a hood in every city, yeah

From Compton to Bombay, yeah, yeah

When nobody likes to be there

The system found a way

That made them wanna stay

And I say, ah, da ri rap da ra ra, da ri rap da ra ra

Da ri rap da, yeah

I hate to see the whole world cry

I hate to see the whole world cry

If it was up to me, I would wipe tears from your eyes

I hate to see the world cry

We need a plan, anybody please

So sick of this god damn earth

That I wish that I could hitch hike to heaven

And go to god’s studio and put in work

Playing down my melodies

Get the whole world one song to sing

Cause hatred’s got ourselves a pickle

A love costs 5 cents less than a nickel

I’m talking about one voice, one love, one color

Nobody’s rich, nobody’s poor

Nobody’s less, nobody’s more

Nobody’s winning, nobody’s loosing

No categories, we all music

If we can’t come to see

If the whole world needs peace

Then we can touch and agree

That we are the true enemies

And it makes me wanna say

Na na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na na

I hate to see the whole world cry

I hate to see the whole world cry

If it was up to me, I would wipe tears from your eyes

Cause I hate to see the world cry

Looking in the mirror, seeking inner peace

Every day’s constant battle

Between what’s wrong and right

I just wanna live my life

My prayer for the future

Is that we learn from our mistakes, oh yeah

Halfway into destruction

But it’s not too late

To late to make a change

So I’ll say

Da ra rap da ra ra, da ra rap da ra ra

And I hate to see the whole world cry

I hate to see the world cry

I hate to see the whole world cry

If it was up to me, I would wipe tears from your eyes

I hate to see the world cry

I don’t wanna see them cry

Somebody help me understand

Anybody got a plan, whoa, whoa

I hate to see the whole world cry

[Outro: K’NAAN

Streets on fire, burning

Every herd every city is hurting

I will wipe every tear, you shedding

Cause I hate to see the whole world cry

I hate to see the whole world cry

I hate to see the whole world cry
