Rap 1

I'm ashamed ah, brother be dyin of poverty,
When he's down on his knees, its only then he prays,
And it's a shame ah, brother be dying of ignorance,

cause the world is a trip and everybody's a hypocrite,

Need to stop ah, takin a look at the other,

I'm not ashamed of poverty need to be makin his life better,

So thinking about it, think about it once more,

cause life is a blessing and it's not just a show-ah...

Round and round the world is spinning around,

we need to be singin a prayer. we need to be singin it now,

round and round the world is spinning around,

we need to be sing~n a prayer, we need to be singin it now,

need to be feeling the power, need to be feeling the faith,

need to be coming together, just to win this race,

need to be feeling the faith, need to be coming together,

just to win this race.
Are you searching, for a reason, to be kind...?
