The World Is Very Different
[Intro: Big Hoodoo]
The world is very different now
The world is very different
The world...
[Chorus: Big Hoodoo & Violent J]
The world is very different now (I just wanna get away)
The world is very different now, the world... (I just wanna get away)
The world is very different now (I just wanna get away)
The world-The world is very different now (I just wanna get away from here)
I just wish I just had some place where I could go (I just wanna get away)
Some place I could just go to and just disappear (I just wanna get away from here)
[Verse 1: Big Hoodoo]
Are these the last days that we livin' in?
If so, drop the top, let's ride into oblivion
Fuck the world, I don't belong here anyway
I'm from the hood where n***as die for nothin' everyday
Mamas pray for they sons, but they ghetto bastards
So now they cryin' in the church, next to the caskets
Truth hurts, but that's the only way that I can give it
High-speedin' down the freeway into the outer limits
We pushed the panic button, but nobody came to help us
And now we livin' in 2020, helter skelter
I'm used to it, though, it feels like my soul freezin'
Fuck this world where they kill kids for no reason
If we ain't homeless or starvin', we poverty-stricken
If we not on drugs or dead, then we in prison
They say change is comin', but we all wonder how
All I can tell you is the world is very different now
[Chorus: Big Hoodoo & Violent J]
The world is very different now (I just wanna get away)
The world is very different now, the world... (I just wanna get away)
The world is very different now (I just wanna get away)
The world-The world is very different now (I just wanna get away from here)
I just wish I just had some place where I could go (I just wanna get away)
Some place I could just go to and just disappear (I just wanna get away from here)
[Verse 2: Big Hoodoo]
Life's a bitch, so I fuck her every chance I get
Doggystyle in the butt until her asshole rip
Shit's bad now, but it's gettin' worse daily
Today's mamas are just yesterday's crack babies
I see the world through red eyes off of purple haze
What if the Mayans were just off by a couple days?
It didn't happen 'cause don't nobody give a fuck
We ain't got nothin' so everybody's givin' up
Hard times, hunger pains, and hand-me-downs
Made my homies hit the streets, wavin' guns around
Every day we strugglin' just to make ends meet
The bills feel like they comin' every fuckin' week
Past dues, paid nows, and the shutoff notice
Can't pay any of 'em, so you feelin' hopeless
Black rainfall and all the sight of dark clouds
We must accept it; the world is very different now
[Chorus: Big Hoodoo & Violent J]
The world is very different now (I just wanna get away)
The world is very different now, the world... (I just wanna get away)
The world is very different now (I just wanna get away)
The world-The world is very different now (I just wanna get away from here)
I just wish I just had some place where I could go (I just wanna get away)
Some place I could just go to and just disappear (I just wanna get away from here)
I just wish I just had some place where I could go (I just wanna get away)
Some place I could just go to and just disappear (I just wanna get away from here)
[Outro]
Every year, thousands of children are initiated into voodoo
Parents are forced to sell their children to repay voodoo debts...
[Hidden Track]
Hoodoo, beware...
Many others want what you have...
And they will go to great lengths to take it...
Watch out!
Your success is their bad luck...
You're the Jinx!
For them, you're the Jinx!
Beware...
It's all around you...
Their envy has overwhelmed you...
Beware...
Beware...
I'm just figurin' it out or somethin' as it's goin'
