Ever wondered about the hurricanes
Ever see the anger in the rain, false
I think it's just the world crying for
Asking what the hell we dying for

But here's Lloyd, R. Kelly, Miss Keri
And K'Naan, yo the shit is getting scary

They spend up all our money, yeah
On the rockets in the sky
But they don't have a reason, so they generate a lie
To destruct us from the times, yeah

There's a hood in every city, yeah
From Compton to Bombay, hey, eh
When nobody likes to be there
The system found a way that made 'em wanna stay

And I say ah
Da ri rap, da ra ra
Da ri rap, da ra ra
Da ri rap, da, yeah

I hate to see the whole world cry
I hate to see the whole world cry
If it was up to me I would wipe them from your eyes
I hate to see the world cry

We need a plan, anybody please

So sick of this goddamn earth
That I wish
That I could hitchhike to heaven
And go to God's studio and put in work

Playing down my melodies
And give the whole world one song to sing
'Cause hatred's got us in a pickle
And love costs 5 cents less than a nickel

I'm talking about one voice, one love, one call up
And nobody's rich, nobody's poor
Nobody's less, nobody's more
Nobody's winning, nobody's losing
No categories, we all music

If we can come to see
That the whole world needs peace
And if we can touch and agree
Then we are the true enemy

And it makes me wanna say
Na na, na na, na na
Na na, na na, na na
Na na, na na, na na
Na na, na na, na na

I hate to see the whole world cry
I hate to see the whole world cry
And if it was up to me I'd wipe tears from your eyes
'Cause I hate to see the world cry

Looking in the mirror
Seeking inner peace, oh
Every day's constant battle
Between what's wrong and right
I just wanna live my life, oh

Praise for the future
Is that we learn from our mistakes, oh yeah
Halfway into destruction but it's not too late
Too late to make a change so I'll say

Da ra rap, da ra ra
Da ra rap, da ra ra
Da ra rap, da

And I hate to see the whole world cry
I hate to see the world cry
I hate to see the whole world cry
I hate to see the world cry

If it was up to me
I would wipe them from your eyes

I hate to see the world cry
I don't wanna see them cry
Somebody help me understand
Anybody got a plan, oh

I hate to see the whole world cry

Streets on fire, burning
Every herd every city is hurting
I will wipe every tear you shed in
'Cause I hate to see the whole world cry

I hate to see the whole world cry
Hate to see the whole world cry
