Where is the love? {4:31 AM}
Hi guys, this is Zhi Yuan here. I went to search up for the lyrics of the song "Where is the love", by Black Eyed Peas , which we heard in class today.
Where is the loveWhat's wrong with the world mama?
People living like aint got no mamas
I think the whole worlds addicted to the drama
Only attracted to the things that bring you trauma
Overseas yeah we tryin to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin
In the USA the big CIA the Bloodz and the Crips and the KKK
But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And if you hatin you're bound to get irate
Yeah madness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
You gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love y'all
People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can 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
Where is the love?(where is the lovex3)(the love2x)
It just ain't the same all ways have changed
New days are strange is the world the insane?
If love and peace so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong
Nations dropping bombs
Chemical gases filling lungs of little ones
With ongoing suffering
As the youth die young
So ask yourself is the loving really strong?
So I can ask myself really what is going wrong
With this world that we living in
People keep on giving in
Makin wrong decisions
Only visions of them livin and
Not respecting each other
Deny thy brother
The wars' going on but the reasons' undercover
The truth is kept secret
Swept under the rug
If you never know truth
Then you never know love
Where's the love y'all?(I don't know)
Where's the truth y'all?(I don't know)
Where's the love y'all?
People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can 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
Where is the love?(where is the lovex3)(the lovex2)
I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm getting older y'all people get colder
Most of us only care about money makin
Selfishness got us followin the wrong direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting their young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what the see in the cinema
Whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness and equality
Instead of spreading love, we're spreading anomosity
Lack of understanding, leading us away from unity
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feeling under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feeling down
It's no wonder why sometimes I'm feeling under
I gotta keep my faith alive, until love is found
People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can 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
Where is the love?(fade)
I personally feel that this poem ties in well with the topic of discrimination which we are currently discussing, while going through the novel, To Kill A Mockingbird. I posted the lyrics here because I felt that the song itself can actually count as a poem. The lyrics are quite catchy and there are many rhyming words at the end of each line. It's really a good song. Here's the video.
You can read the comments posted by other viewers too. Some interesting comments made:
agagouk:
You guys always talk about the other half or "the other countries" and its trues that they need help but you all seems to forget the people in you own yard who need help. Even in United-States or Canada it is full of poor people who need help. We need to help every body who need it but not only the one far away. Helping people close to you is even better(according to me) because you really see what it make and it encourage you to help even more. Love is the key
Germanperson:
Everbody, who listened to this song, must change his/hers life! It's hart to see the childs in Africa or in other countries. There parents dont have any money and the childs have to prostitute theirself. PLEASE HELP THEM!
Basa117:
truely people, where is the love? i remember the days when people cared for others even when they knew there would be no reward, i know that there are still some great people out there who help without expecting anything in return, but we need to help the other half of the world to get on this train of thought. Love is all you need.
animallover0505:
i really wonder:where is the love?
people use to live life respecting and loving others, not raping,abusing,hating and blaming others for their own problems or flaws, what happened? can we not live life without being judged or put down for speaking up? i remember one thing i saw that said "guns dont kill people, people do"
C'mon people lets stop hating eachother,and just respect one another
KEEP DA HOPE ALIVE! Hope you enjoyed the song (:
