But still Cbillion and millionaires are buyin' more
Oh, Bboh, ohC  
And Dmwhat kind of world are we used to when we
CPut our hands up and we still shoot babies
BbOh, oh, ohC  
But Dmthat's just the land that we'll die for
The Cland that we're willing to take lives for
Oh, Bboh, ohC  
[Verse 1]
DmWelcome to the 21st century
We got Ccelebrities that's runnin' for presidency
They say, Bb"Make America Great Again"
I mean, Cthat's great if you ain't got no melanin
The Dmland of no limitations
but a Chundred grand for your education nah
TheBby say power is knowledge, but wChat do you do when you can't even afford college?
DmBoys and girls only thirteen years old
 CTrafficked around while they're bidded and sold
 BbYou say it's sorta really out of our control
But Cwhat would you do, what would you do if it was your own?
  DmAnd I'm prayiCn' and I'm waitin' for a Bbchange
Maybe it's Ctime to be the change

Sellin' used CDs
Where you're Bbshot five times
Pullin' out your ID
 CIt's all on video
But they won't catch a case, you know
DmBut why we say Muslims should move differently
CJumpin' to conclusions too easily
BbI get our country has PTSD
But learn the Cdifference between Muslims and Jihadists please
DmI pray to Jesus, they pray to Allah
CYou idolize money but yet do we judge
BbAnd I'm prayin', Ccan we make a change, oh

What kind of world do we live in

Where we only aim to get in where we fit in

Bb C

Oh, oh, oh

Poverty and crime at its highest

But still billion and millionaires are buyin' more

Bb C

Oh, oh, oh

And what kind of world are we used to when we

Put our hands up and we still shoot babies

Bb C

Oh, oh, oh

But that's just the land that we'll die for

The land that we're willing to take lives for

Oh, oh, oh

[Verse 1]

Welcome to the 21st century

We got celebrities that's runnin' for presidency

They say, "Make America Great Again"

I mean, that's great if you ain't got no melanin

The land of no limitations

but a hundred grand for your education nah

Bb C

They say power is knowledge, but what do you do when you can't even afford college?

Boys and girls only thirteen years old

Trafficked around while they're bidded and sold

You say it's sorta really out of our control

But what would you do, what would you do if it was your own?

Dm C Bb

And I'm prayin' and I'm waitin' for a change

Maybe it's time to be the change

[Chorus]

What kind of world do we live in

Where we only aim to get in where we fit in

Bb C

Oh, oh, oh

Poverty and crime at its highest

But still billion and millionaires are buyin' more

Bb C

Oh, oh, oh

And what kind of world are we used to when we

Put our hands up and we still shoot babies

Bb C

Oh, oh, oh

But that's just the land that we'll die for

The land that we're willing to take lives for

Bb C

Oh, oh, oh

[Verse 2]

Oh, what we gonna do

What we gonna do

Five hundred years later and we still go through it

Can you really sit down

Do nothin' when they

Killin' us off like it's nothin'

America the land of the free

Where you're shot six times

Sellin' used CDs

Where you're shot five times

Pullin' out your ID

It's all on video

But they won't catch a case, you know

But why we say Muslims should move differently

Jumpin' to conclusions too easily

I get our country has PTSD

But learn the difference between Muslims and Jihadists please

I pray to Jesus, they pray to Allah

You idolize money but yet do we judge

Bb C

And I'm prayin', can we make a change, oh

[Chorus]

What kind of world do we live in

Where we only aim to get in where we fit in

Bb C

Oh, oh, oh

Poverty and crime at its highest

But still billion and millionaires are buyin' more

Bb C

Oh, oh, oh

And what kind of world are we used to when we

Put our hands up and we still shoot babies

Bb C

Oh, oh, oh

But that's just the land that we'll die for

The land that we're willing to take lives for

Bb C

Oh, oh, oh
