Nature of the World
Stop smiling, we still don't nothing move but the money, we still don't nothing move but the money, m-move but the money

[Chorus]
[Justin Timberlake]
The-na-ture-of-the-world-to-day, the nature of the world today
The-na-ture-of-the-world-to-day, the nature of the world today

[will.i.am]
Stop, stop, stop
Stop smiling 'cos the way the world's moving's not funny
School system condition your child to be a dummy
Ain't no education in education honey
School teacher's only rackin' up a little money
T.V.'s raising kids in the new era
And I don't see a prophet that'll prophesize it clearer
Dayum if Christ comes back they'll probably kill him
Crucify him twice just to keep the people from hearin'
The message that you and I should be hearin'
The unhearable
What I'm getting to is this world is somethin' terrible
I've had it up to hear 'cos being blind's unbearable
It sounds like I'm goin' deaf
So now I'll go hysterical
'Cos living in a world that's not harmonius is deafening
There's no life business but death is a profession
You got morticians and coroners, exorcism performers
But we ain't got nobody there positioned just to warn us of the
Dum, dum, dum, dum, dumb conditioning
We gettin' elementary, it's funny how they put us in a dummy state o' mind
A dummy state of mind
I ain't smiling 'cos all they got is money on they mind
That's the nature...
[Chorus]
The-na-ture-of-the-world-to-day, the nature of the world today
The-na-ture-of-the-world-to-day, the nature of the world today

[will.i.am]
Money got me dog, money got you
Money got you working just to pay off your coupe
Money got the gas prices higher than ever
The people runnin' money yo they gotta be clever because if you ain't got no money then you wanna get some
People want money more than education
And if you wanna education then you gotta pay to get it
Money's the new God, if it ain't who is it?
Looking back at the dollar, In God We Trust
Fuck that, money ain't God and money ain't us
People will save a dime, people will save a dollar
They hesitate to save a life if they hear a holler
So holler, holler, holler if I'm hitting you with purity
Homeland security is insecurity, secure the homeland with proper education
Expand the minds of the youth and build up the nation
And compete in a whole new world of technology
We been brainwashed and tricked psychologically
That we just consumers so gon' get ya money
And buy a diamond ring for your honey
But fuck that, I realize that I'm shinin' like the sun
Got enlighten and enlighten everyone
I realize that I'm shinin' like the sun
Get enlighten and learn a little somethin' about the nature...
[Chorus]
[Justin Timberlake]
The-na-ture-of-the-world-to-day, the nature of the world today
The-na-ture-of-the-world-to-day, the nature of the world today
