What's wrong with the world 2day?Things just got 2 get betterShow me what the leaders sayMaybe we should write a letterSaid Dear Mr. Man, we don't understandWhy poor people keep struggling but U don't lend a helping handMatthew 5:5 say ?The meek shall inherit the earth?We wanna b down that waybut U been trippin since the day of your birthWho said that 2 kill is a sinThen started every single war that Ur people been in?Who said that water is a precious commodityThen dropped a big old black oil slick in the deep blue sea?Who told me, Mr. Man, that working round the clockwould buy me a big housed in the hoodCigarette ads on every blockWho told me, Mr. Man, that Eye got a right 2 moan?How about this bog old hole in the ozone?What's wrong with the world 2dayThings just got 2 get betterDear Mr. Man, we don't understandMaybe we should write a letterListen, Ain't no sense in voting ? same song with a different nameMight not b in the back of the bus but it sure feel just the sameAin't nothing fair about welfareAin't no assistance in AIDSWe ain't that affirmative about your actions until the people get paidUr thousand years r upNow U got 2 share the landSection 1 ? the 14th amendment says ?No state shall deprive any person of life,liberty, or property, without due process of law?Mr. Man, we want 2 end this letter with 3 wordsWe tired a-y'all
