Words rapped by Will.I.Am at the Inaugural Concert celebration yesterday.....

[FrenchieCat]

(for those not familiar)

What's wrong with the world mama?
People living like ain't got no mamas
I think the whole worlds addicted to the drama
Only attracted to the things that bring you trauma
Overseas yeah we tryin to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin
In the USA the big CIA the Bloodz 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 if you hatin you're bound to get irate
Yeah madness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
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

Chorus (wasn't sung at the performance)

People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can 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 is the love?(where is the lovex3)(the love2x)

1. That's a great song. Though it was a little disappointing...

...that they changed the bit about "terrorists here livin' in the USA: the big CIA, the Bloodz, the Crips, and the KKK." Probably didn't want to offend the CIA.

2. Oh....I heard "Terrorists here living in the USA...." yesterday.

Didn't you? He did take out "CIA, Bloodz, Crips, and the KKK"....replaced with Education and that racial hate.......
