No More

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'
