[Intro]
Yeah
I've been writing this for twenty-five years
Hear my heart
[Verse 1]
I look around these streets, it's funny, nothin' really changed
Twenty-five this week and everybody's still the same
Still hate police, still fightin' racists
Still wearin' masks to cover up our faces
Still lookin' for answers we're never gonna find
Still stuck in the past because the present blonds us
Still selfish, only think about what's mine
I wish we gave a little back to the kids but-
[Chorus]
Still, this world keeps spinnin'
And still, it's never endin'
And still, just keep on grinnin'
And still, it's all gonna be all-
Still, there's people dyin'
And still, there's children cryin'
And still, the media's lyin'
And still, it's all gonna be all-
[Verse 2]
I look around these streets, it's funny, nothin' really changed
Still chasin' dreams I'm probably never gonna taste
Still pick these strings but they just never feel the same as the days with my homies in the base singing:
I ain't never been the type for the money and fame
I'd rather teach my kids to appreciate
This moment while it's here, 'cause in twenty-five years all these problems gonna still be here and-
[Chorus]
Still, this world keeps spinnin'
And still, it's never endin'
And still, just keep on grinnin'
And still, it's all gonna be all-
Still, there's people dyin'
And still, there's children cryin'
And still, the media's lyin'
And still, it's all gonna be all-
[Bridge]
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
And what's wrong with the world momma?
And people like it like it's all gonna be all-
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
And what's wrong with the world momma?
And people like it like it's all gonna be all-
[Verse 3]
And maybe we can make a better life
Instead of complainin' 'bout what we've become, we teach our children how to fight for what is right
Our differences don't define the type
And Jesus might still love people that don't believe in Jesus Christ
So while you sit behind computer screens and type
Remember whatever you say better be relevant outside
From black lives to abortion, gay pride to the borders
Our differences are enormous, but we bleed the same in our wars
