Realization of a Nation

Something much different about this world today
 The sun seems so much hotter than it did yesterday
 Somethin so much different about this world today
 I think everybody man we're feelin the same way
 All out universal truths are stained
 Somewhere greed power and lust got in the way
 I see the fear and sadness in so many strangers eyes
 Somethins got to happen before we're all just lost in time
 Take a step back and see your own view
 Of the populations fears and the talking youths
 And if you see a hand there reachin out to you
 Don't walk away you can never walk away
 You're gettin down in the bowel of the city
 You're gettin pushed around they think you're pretty
 And you don't know why I said you don't know why
 But you get high to get by so check it one time.
 Why do we believe racism is extinct
 With brothers bein shot lyin dead in the streets
 Somethin so much different about this world today
 Its an inconvenient truth but its here to stay
 Somethin so much different about this world today
 We're runnin out of places for our kids to safely play
 Its not too late
 I can feel when you steal I know that its real
 But this pain that I feel it ain't right for me
 I said we're gettin locked down on the reggae sound
 Will's droppin bass lines all over your town
 We're gonna turn those frowns right upside down
 With the music that makes you come dancin around
 You're gettin down in the bowel of the city
 You're gettin pushed around they think you're pretty
 And you don't know why I said you don't know why
 but you get high to get by so check it one time
 Why do we believe racism is extinct
 With brothers bein shot lyin dead in the streets
 Somethin so much different
 About this world today
 Somethin so much different
 About this world today...
