Bombs over Baghdad
Tryna get something we never heard

So real but it’s so sad
And while we’re burning this incense
We gon’ pray for the innocent
Cause right now it don’t make sense

Let’s talk about Chi-town

Our souls are brought together so that we could love each other brother

We are here
We are here for all of us
We are here for all of us
It’s why we are here, why we are here

No guns made in Harlem
But yet Crime is a problem
He wanna shine, he wanna rob ‘em
Single mother, where they come from?
How we gonna save the nation
With no support for education
Cause right now it don’t make sense
Right now it don’t make sense

Let’s talk about our part

Do more forgiving, yeah
Our souls are brought together so that we can love each other sister
