X the Unknown Variable - If This World Were Mine... lyrics

[Verse 1: X the Unknown Variable] What would you do if this world were yours? Would you keep the gates locked or open up our doors? Would you turn a blind eye to those swimming in rivers Or give back our Native-Americans' quivers? If it were up to me, I'd let freedom ring And let the souls of our ancestors sing The vibrations, I'm sure they'd run Deeper than any bullet from any gun It's not about who was here first It's about who was placed in a cultural hears I don't mind sharing the land with white Rage and violence won't make thing right If this world were mine, I'd bring back our trust in Humanity, and get rid of handcuffs I'd bring back the gra** that was greener than lime If this world were mine... if this world were mine... [Verse 2: X the Unknown Variable] Innocent children cry every day They get on their knees and beg them to stay The victims of I.C.E., even during Summer With every word spoken, they get a bit dumber You couldn't find a more disgusting term To call these sweet children, Dirt covered worms Parade on the NEWS and call them the name "Anchor Babies" with no present shame I'm sure their opinions would bust 180s If their sisters were those being torn from their babies If their sisters were dragged from their home It's the ignorance our country has shown If this world were mine, I'd put them in our places And send them to nations with unfamiliar faces I'd give them a look at what's on our minds If this world were mine... If this world were mine... [Bridge: X the Unknown Variable] Our people aren't dumb We're not all gangsters, we're not all pranksters We're not all hoodlums who carry thee guns We work hard and sweat under the sun We provide for our families, we're tethered to our sanity And forced to face an enemy who tests our humanity If this world were mine... I'd forgive all the souls who stepped out of line...
