What's wrong with the world, mama
People livin' like they ain't got no mamas
I think the whole world addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma
Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin'
In the USA, the big CIA
The Bloods and The Crips and the KKK
But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah
Badness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how a n**** works and operates
N**, you gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all, y'all

People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek

Father, Father, Father help us
Send us some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)

Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love
The love, the love

It just ain't the same, always unchanged
New days are strange, is the world insane
If love and peace is so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong
Nations droppin' bombs
Chemical gasses fillin' lungs of little ones
With the ongoin' sufferin' as the youth die young
So ask yourself is the lovin' really gone
So I could ask myself really what is goin' wrong
In this world that we livin' in people keep on givin'
in
Makin' wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends
Not respectin' each other, deny thy brother
A war is goin' on but the reason's undercover
The truth is kept secret, it's swept under the rug
If you never know truth then you never know love
Where's the love, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the truth, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the love, y'all

People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek

Father, Father, Father help us
Send us some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)

Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love
The love, the love

I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm gettin' older, y'all, people gets colder
Most of us only care about money makin'
Selfishness got us followin' our own direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
Kids act like what they see in the cinema
Yo', whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness in equality
Instead in spreading love we spreading animosity
Lack of understanding, leading lives away from unity
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' down
There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under
Gotta keep my faith alive to lovers bound

People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek

Father, Father, Father help us
Send us some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)

Where is the love (The love)

I just this song.
It reminds me of something Prince might have wrote many moons ago.

Never too much cared for them.

Black Eyed Peas... oh yeah!

this Song is somewhere between something Coolio would do mixed with Michael Jackson's Heal the World Vibe.Catchy but Black Eyed Peas ain't gonna have any Album Run.a song here&there at best IMHO.

thats all im gonna say about this song...

They've been around awhile - albeit quiet. And they had a big hit in England a year or 2 back. I think u may be eating your words ina few months...IMHO...

Great song miss Katt Very Princelike. These fools just like what's on the radio.

not a huge fan of this song...
but there are many others on the cd that kick ass...
'Shut Up', 'Hey Mama', 'Lets Get Retarded', 'The Boogie That Be'

don't judge them on that song only...check out the others...the doubters will change their tune.


excellent cd!!!

I love this song

uhhh...this song *is* all over the radio..and its as korny and popish as anything britney or justin (wait..doesnt he sing on this song?) due...

Sosgemini I was thinking the same

I can't hear JT on there though

sosgemini said:

I was thinking the same damn thing! What a bunch of sellouts.

my son scot told me a couple of weeks ago that the b e peas said in an interview that they were influenced by the wee man better known as PRINCE .

Good song. But a total rip off.

Its the chorus of "torn" (Natalie Imbruglia) mixed with a bit of Coolio "See U when U get there".

Not a fan.

katt said:

It's great for having a song with these lines #1 in the charts alone.

sawah said:

JT sings in the chorus. . .took me awhile to finally hear him. I think he also says, "Sing wit' me ya'll" or something like that near the end of the song.

I like this song alot and so does my daughter who usually doesn't like pop-ish songs too much but she likes the lyrics, I am thinking of getting her the CD.

I value this song Katt ... the above lyrics stick out most in my mind... so darn true (in my eyes).

how old is your daughter?...most of the other tracks have alot of language...my son likes 'Where is the love' and i let him listen to it...but i won't let him listen to the rest of the cd...then again he's only 7.
