letra de rap the world (in your love) - gary byrd & the g.b. experience
[intro]
rap the world!
rap the world!
[verse 1]
every night, on the nightly news
you see someone being abused
and even [?] to take a vacation
you may never get back if you feed the nation
the old citizenship don’t mean anything
when people are mad, they deal in pain
they take all the hate out on us
you can’t cry no more, i’m from america
we waited too long to make it right
we did too much wrong to sleep at night
it’s time we got back to being human again
and to give each other a helping hand
rеach out for love, those who fell bеlow
show ’em some love a better place to go
don’t be content with your designer clothes
and stop putting that stuff up your nose
[chorus]
rap the world in your love
let your love rap it up
rap the world in your love
let your love rap it up
rap, rap it up
rap the world!
[verse 2]
ah, you count your money, you live in style
but think about that crying child
he may not be one of yours or mine
but he’s a member of all mankind
in the country, where they livin’
don’t even have a mother’s milk to give
hot hot days and cold cold nights
sleeping on the ground with death in light
miles and miles they walk in pain
for a sip of water and a hand full of grain
knowin’ all the time it won’t be enough
and that it’s instant death if they eat too much
you can’t run from this, better open up your eyes
this stuff is real: it’s genocide
there’s a systematic destruction of life
all around the world, we gotta make it right
[chorus]
rap the world in your love
let your love rap it up
rap the world in your love
let your love rap it up
rap, rap it up
[bridge]
here’s a [?]
genocide
here’s a [?]
genocide
[chorus]
rap the world in your love
let your love rap it up
rap, rap it up
rap the world!
rap the world!
[verse 3]
we gotta take our minds back to ’65
when all of us here were alive
we were out on the streets fighting hate
because the powers that be had waited too late
to give to people the living sp-ce
it wasn’t just black, but the human race
they stood up tall the fight the klan
i wanna wake you up, you gotta understand
we of the world show humanity
and we can do it together, you and me
we save the children and the birthplace of man
i’m talking ethiopia, the mighty sudan
don’t look at me and say your hands are tied
we’re talking human life, where’s your inner pride?
there’s more to life than your big brick home
check out of the evicted, where the buffalo roam
[chorus]
rap the world in your love
let your love rap it up
rap the world in your love
let your love rap it up
rap, rap it up
rap the world!
[verse 4]
we gotta send a telegram to president botha
and tell that fool that the party’s over
we gotta tell our uncle, the one named sam
constructive engagement is a sham
the question is: how does it work?
it takes no pain out of the hurt
it hides the way they really scheme
you either in or out, there’s no in between
don’t turn your head and say it’s a shame
there’s nothing new; it’s the same old game
you get a nine to five and thinking light is fine
you better wake up fool, you better fight this crime
it’s more than hate; it’s economics too
they need some help, mandela and tutu
trying to own just a rightful share
they don’t wanna die, they just wanna live there
[chorus]
rap the world in your love
wanna live there
let your love rap it up
rap the world in your love
let your love rap it up
rap, rap it up
[verse 5]
some strange things happen in the world we live
mankind rejects what mother nature gives
there’s a brand new way of giving birth
but what if the baby’s really gonna be of the earth?
we can’t explain summer storms of snow
all the toll devastation in mexico
puerto rico’s been covered in layers of mud
new york earthquakes and virginia floods
and [?] to the man with a dream
beyond star wars and k!lling machines
no mx missiles taken up sp-ce
that should have been used for the human race
you can keep on living in your fantasy
but it’s all coming true; every prophecy
if what i’ve said don’t shake your mind
what good are you to mankind?
good are you to mankind?
what good are you to mankind?
[refrain]
rap the world!
rap the world!
