The Fenty's are shaming themselves today. Diamonds is RnB, Ballads are the most difficult to sing, WHYB=/= WFL, Rihanna isn't a drug abusing tragedy. What next? She can sing live?
People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt can you hear them cryin'?
Can you practice what you preach?
And would you turn the other cheek?
Father, Father, Father help us
Send us some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love?
People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt can you hear them cryin'?
Can you practice what you preach?
And would you turn the other cheek?
Father, Father, Father help us

'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love?
Sham.I.am. his only good thing he contributed in his life. HipHopPeas >
What's wrong with the world, mama/People livin' like they ain't got no mamas
I think the whole world addicted to the drama/Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma
Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism/But we still got terrorists here livin'
In the USA, the big CIA/The Bloods and The Crips and the KKK/But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate/And to discriminate only generates hate/And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah/Madness is what you demonstrate/And that's exactly how anger works and operates/Now, you gotta have love just to set it straight/Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all,
