J-live - Worlds Apart lyrics

[Verse 1: J-Live] They say the first world NATO Second world Soviet Third world neutral but the Cold War's over NASA vs. Sputnik, space technology Can't solve poverty but got a Mars rover Old world Europe, new world Americas Third world countries face ma** hysteria Old world hardly, new world not even Third world where they both stay thievin' First world problems, third world repercussions Concussions and cuts direct cross can bandage Every vantage point show who at a disadvantage Boss the whole globe around but still can't manage To take care of our own, treat our home like a broad So disrespected, the rights selected To be protected leaves so many wrongs neglected America's dream shake shop, reject it Can't atone for the disenfranchised You're not even contrite to the disrespected Blood on your hands runs deep, can't disinfect it The sins of the father give resurrected [Verse 2] They say the old world brought up a new world order And ran up in the third world and divvied up borders Tribes were divided by countries that were thought up Economically held back and never caught up Power corrupts and the oppressed get slaughtered Mothers and fathers'll lose sons and daughters Brothers and sisters denied human rights And can't even guarentee themselves clean drinking water First world speaker, second world spoken to Third world who they conversatin' about Hardly even got a voice in the conversation So the words fall on deaf ears and get drowned out But uh, speaking as the first person, I can't take it Speaking to the second person, you on some snake sh** Speaking for the third person, they ain't gon' make it But who are we to talk 'cause it's really our fault They say the opposite of love is not hate, it's apathy So lack of self-love ain't self-hate, it's apathy We so desensitized by travesty and tragedy How we supposed to realize humanity's majesty Need to set straight the presiding magistrate Then eperate mankind's fate from the acts of hate Can't afford to wait to get facts straight The lies hit so hard facts break The white man's burden still the brown man's backache It's like the justice just missed the bus because They say murder has no statute of limitations But genocide does or is that just us, come on
