Where is the Love (Black Eyed Peas)

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

Madness is what you demonstrate
And that’s exactly how anger works and operates
Man, 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?
Or would you turn the other cheek?

Everybody, body help us
Send some guidance and some love
‘Cause people got me, got me questionin’
Where is the love (Love)

Where is the love (The love) [2x]
Where is the love, the love, the love

It just ain’t the same, old ways have changed
New days are strange, is the world insane?
If love and peace are so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don’t belong?

Nations droppin’ bombs
Chemical gasses fillin’ lungs of little ones
With 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?
Or would you turn the other cheek?

Everybody, body help us
Send some guidance and some love
‘Cause people got me, got me questionin’
Where is the love (Love)

Where is the love (The love)? [6x]
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’ 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 cinema

Yo’, whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness and equality
Instead of spreading love we’re spreading animosity
Lack of understanding, leading us 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 ’til love is found
Now ask yourself

Where is the love? [4x]

Everybody, body, help us
Send some guidance and some love
‘Cause people got me, got me questionin’
Where is the love?

Sing with me y’all:
One world, one world (We only got)
One world, one world (That’s all we got)
One world, one world
And something’s wrong with it (Yeah)
Something’s wrong with it (Yeah)
Something’s wrong with the wo-wo-world, yeah
We only got
(One world, one world)
That’s all we got
(One world, one world)

Need Freedom
(performed by Jussie Smollett)

1st Verse

Too many guns on the streets
In my heart, I can’t take it no, oh
Like Stevie said, “Love’s in need”
My heart cries out for Orlando
Philando, Alton, Sandra, Mike Brown
Garner, Trayvon, Whyyy?
Too many people gone too soon

2nd Verse
Tell me how this happened
Where did we go wrong?
Say we stay together if we choose to walk alone
Blood covers our streets
Hatred fills our home
Gotta get this message out before we’re dead and goneBridge
We gotta make it better
Something’s gotta change
The world needs your voice just to make it through the rain
When I think of what’s goin’ on in this world
Ohh it gets me to see my sister not breathe
My sister, my brother here with me

Chorus
Need freedom
Our world is cryin’, no more silence, with guns and violence
Need freedom
I can’t keep dyin’, we’re way too quiet, no more silence
Need freedom
Stop this evil, free my people, we’re all equal
Need freedom
Our world get’s brighter, keep on tryin’, keep on fightin’ for freedom

Post-Chorus
As I sit and think about
All that’s goin’ on
My soul just cries out
Can you tell me please?

3rd Verse
Tell me who’s to blame
For causing all this pain
The one’s we call to help us turn
They kills us everyday
See war is not the answer
And love is what we need
Take the chains off, break the bondage
Set my people free

Bridge
We gotta make it better
Something’s gotta change
The world needs your voice just to make it through the rain
When I think of what’s goin’ on in this world
Ohh it gets me to see my sister not breathe
My sister, my brother here with me

Chorus
Need freedom
The world is cryin’, no more silence, with guns and violence
Need freedom
I can’t keep dyin’, we’re way too quiet, no more silence
Need freedom
Stop this evil, free my people, we’re all equal
Need freedom
Our world get’s brighter, keep on tryin’, keep on fightin’ for freedom
