From the womb to the world, from the world to the grave

From the grave to the heavens and my spirit

From the liquor to the drugs, the police and the thugs

To my prayers and I hope that he hears it Little kids in the street, never sleep, never eat

Carry burdens of their mommas and their papas

To the Hell on this earth, gettin' hot, gettin' worse

'Cause we're cursed, nobody can stop us Take a look, see the sights that I've seen

See the lust, see the greed, jealousy and killin'

Walk the walk that I've walked all alone in the dark

Overtaken by this feelin' that I'm feelin' Touch the hand that I've touched in the night

What a rush, turning blue, so cold and breathless

See the bars and the chains on your wrist, on your brain

Feel the pain of a grown man's death wish Is this all there is 'cause I don't want it no more

Is this all there is 'cause I don't want it no more

Is this all there is 'cause I don't want it no more

Is this all there is 'cause I don't want it no more That's right little mama, just keep on walkin' to school

Don't stop and talk to them fools tryin' to holla while they sippin' on brew

'Cause you're gonna lose, got to stay focused

Keep your mind on your dreams, don't get hypnotized by the bling

Deep inside you must believe and you'll succeed 'Cause all we're given is a chance, they play the music and we dance

And can't nobody make it last if we don't stop and listen

It could be over in a flash when you killin' for that cash

Flip an Apache and blast 'em with Tomahawk missiles Moqtada al-Sadr, Bin Laden, Al-Qaeda

They all multiplyin' and hidin' and George can't find 'em

And even if he did and killed them, then another would come

We makin' enemies faster than we could pick up a gun Is this all there is 'cause I don't want it no more

Is this all there is 'cause I don't want it no more

Is this all there is 'cause I don't want it no more

Is this all there is 'cause I don't want it no more From my soul to my heart, from the ending to the start

In between it's an art and I live it

From one person to the next, all respect, no regrets

If you next, you got it then give it Share a hug, share the love, we can rise up above

If we try, we can fly up to the heavens

All my brothers and my sisters, we can make it

If we listen to each other and just keep on Is this all there is 'cause I don't want it no more

Is this all there is 'cause I don't want it no more

Is this all there is 'cause I don't want it no more

Is this all there is 'cause I don't want it no more And I can see this change comin'

And I can see this change comin'

And I can feel this change comin'
