Black Eyed Peas - Where is the Love

People killin' people dyin'

Children hurtin', I hear them cryin'

Can you practice what you preachin'?

Would you turn the other cheek again?

Mama, mama, mama, tell us what the hell is goin' on

Can't we all just get along?

Father, father, father help us

Send some guidance from above

'Cause people got me, got me

Questioning

(Where's the love)

Yo what's going on with the world, momma

(Where's the love)

Yo people living like they ain't got no mommas

(Where's the love)

I think they all distracted by the drama and

Attracted to the trauma, mamma

(Where's the love)

I think they don't understand the concept or

The meaning of karma

(Where's the love)

Overseas, yeah they trying to stop terrorism

(Where's the love)

Over here on the streets the police shoot

The people put the bullets in 'em

(Where's the love)

But if you only got love for your own race

(Where's the love)

Then you're gonna leave space for others to discriminate

(Where's the love)

And to discriminate only generates hate

And when you hate then you're bound to get irate

Madness is what you demonstrate

And that's exactly how hate works and operates

Man, we gotta set it straight

Take control of your mind and just meditate

And let your soul just gravitate

To the love, so the whole world celebrate it

People killin' people dyin'

Children hurtin', I hear them cryin'

Can you practice what you preachin'?

Would you turn the other cheek again?

Mama, mama, mama, tell us what the hell is goin' on

Can't we all just get along?

Father, Father, Father help us

Send some guidance from above

'Cause people got me, got me questioning

(Where's the love)

It just ain't the same, always in change

(Where's the love)

New days are strange, is the world insane?

(Where's the love)

Nation droppin' bombs killing our little ones

(Where's the love)

Ongoing suffering as the youth die young

(Where's the love)

Where's the love when a child gets murdered

Or a cop gets knocked down

Black lives not now

Everybody matter to me

All races, y'all don't like what I'm sayin'? Haterade, tall cases

Everybody hate somebody

Guess we all racist

Black Eyed Peas do a song about love and y'all hate this

All these protests with different colored faces

We was all born with a heart

Why we gotta chase it?

And every time I look around

Every time I look up, every time I look down

No one's on a common ground

(Where's the love)

And if you never speak truth then you never know how love sounds

(Where's the love)

And if you never know love then you never know God, wow

(Where's the love)

Where's the love y'all? I don't, I don't know

Where's the truth y'all? I don't know

People killin' people dyin'

Children hurtin', I hear them cryin'

Could you practice what you preach?

Would you turn the other cheek?

Father, Father, Father help us

Send some guidance from above

'Cause people got me, got me questioning

(Where's the love)

(Where's the love)

Love is the key

(Where's the love)

Love is the answer

(Where's the love)

Love is the solution

(Where's the love)

(Where's the love)

They don't want us to love

(Where's the love)

Love is powerful

(Where's the love)

(Where's the love)

My mama asked me why I never vote never vote

'Cause police men want me dead and gone (Dead and gone)

That election looking like a joke (Such a joke)

And the weed man still sellin' dope

Somebody gotta give these niggas hope (Please hope)

All he ever wanted was a smoke (My gosh)

Said he can't breathe with his hands in the air

Layin' on the ground died from a choke

(Where's the love)

I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders

As I'm gettin' older y'all people gets colder

Most of us only care about money makin'

Selfishness got us followin' the wrong direction

Wrong information always shown by the media

Negative images is the main criteria

Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria

Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinemas

What happened to the love and the values of humanity?

(Where's the love)

What happened to the love and the fairness and equality?

(Where's the love)

Instead of spreading love we're spreading animosity

(Where's the love)

Lack of understanding leading us away from unity

(Where's the love)
