They say a picture is worth 1000 words I donât have any pictures worth a1000 words. Black Eyed Peas.
People killinâ people dyinâ
Children hurtinâ, I hear them cryinâ
Can you practice what you preachinâ?
Would you turn the other cheek again?
Mama, mama, mama, tell us what the hell is goinâ on
Canât we all just get along?
Father, father, father help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me
Questioning
(Whereâs the love)
Yo whatâs going on with the world, momma
(Whereâs the love)
Yo people living like they ainât got no mommas
(Whereâs the love)
I think they all distracted by the drama and
Attracted to the trauma, mamma
(Whereâs the love)
I think they donât understand the concept or
The meaning of karma
(Whereâs the love)
Overseas, yeah they trying to stop terrorism
(Whereâs the love)
Over here on the streets the police shoot
The people put the bullets in 'em
(Whereâs the love)
But if you only got love for your own race
(Whereâs the love)
Then youâre gonna leave space for others to discriminate
(Whereâs the love)
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then youâre bound to get irate
Madness is what you demonstrate
And thatâs exactly how hate works and operates
Man, we gotta set it straight
Take control of your mind and just meditate
And let your soul just gravitate
To the love, so the whole world celebrate it
People killinâ people dyinâ
Children hurtinâ, I hear them cryinâ
Can you practice what you preachinâ?
Would you turn the other cheek again?
Mama, mama, mama, tell us what the hell is goinâ on
Canât we all just get along?
Father, Father, Father help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questioning
(Whereâs the love)
It just ainât the same, always in change
(Whereâs the love)
New days are strange, is the world insane?
(Whereâs the love)
Nation droppinâ bombs killing our little ones
(Whereâs the love)
Ongoing suffering as the youth die young
(Whereâs the love)
Whereâs the love when a child gets murdered
Or a cop gets knocked down
Black lives not now
Everybody matter to me
All races, yâall donât like what Iâm sayinâ? Haterade, tall cases
Everybody hate somebody
Guess we all racist
Black Eyed Peas do a song about love and yâall hate this
All these protests with different colored faces
We was all born with a heart
Why we gotta chase it?
And every time I look around
Every time I look up, every time I look down
No oneâs on a common ground
(Whereâs the love)
And if you never speak truth then you never know how love sounds
(Whereâs the love)
And if you never know love then you never know God, wow
(Whereâs the love)
Whereâs the love yâall? I donât, I donât know
Whereâs the truth yâall? I donât know
People killinâ people dyinâ
Children hurtinâ, I hear them cryinâ
Could 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
(Whereâs the love)
(Whereâs the love)
Love is the key
(Whereâs the love)
Love is the answer
(Whereâs the love)
Love is the solution
(Whereâs the love)
(Whereâs the love)
They donât want us to love
(Whereâs the love)
Love is powerful
(Whereâs the love)
(Whereâs the love)
My mama asked me why I never vote never vote
âCause police men want me dead and gone (Dead and gone)
That election looking like a joke (Such a joke)
And the weed man still sellinâ dope
Somebody gotta give these niggas hope (Please hope)
All he ever wanted was a smoke (My gosh)
Said he canât breathe with his hands in the air
Layinâ on the ground died from a choke
(Whereâs the love)
I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders
As Iâm gettinâ older yâall people gets colder
Most of us only care about money makinâ
Selfishness got us followinâ 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 cinemas
What happened to the love and the values of humanity?
(Whereâs the love)
What happened to the love and the fairness and equality?
(Whereâs the love)
Instead of spreading love weâre spreading animosity
(Whereâs the love)
Lack of understanding leading us away from unity
(Whereâs the love)
