Lyrics What's Going on in the World Today? - Us3
I
had
my
eyes
on
the
prize,
since
I
was
five
Said,
"Look
world,
I've
arrived"
I
had
the
drive
to
make
it
out
alive
But
no
matter
how
I
tried
to
fake
it
Realised
that
I
couldn't
escape
it
Put
my
foot
to
the
pavement
then
I
got
to
steppin'
Ended
up
in
the
opposite
direction
from
where
I
was
headin'
Regressin',
the
path
I
was
led
in
had
me
guessin',
askin'
questions
But
the
answers
I'm
gettin'
only
led
into
more
questions
What
lessons
am
I
learnin'?
The
seconds
keep
on
turnin'
back,
reversin'
the
hands
of
time
But
I
can't
rewind
or
change
the
past
People
I
asked
laugh
and
said,
"Stand
in
line"
We
all
wish
we
could,
you
should
get
out
the
hood
'Cos
stayin'
would
do
you
more
harm
than
good
Unless
you
look
past
the
stars
you'll
never
get
that
far
Facts
are
you'll
never
make
it
in
your
own
backyard
What's
goin'
on
in
the
world
today?
Can't
find
the
words
'cos
it's
hard
to
say
Just
makes
me
wanna
holler
like
Marvin
Gaye
Got
my
eyes
on
the
prize
but
it's
far
away
What's
goin'
on
in
the
world
today?
Can't
find
the
words
'cos
it's
hard
to
say
Just
makes
me
wanna
holler
like
Marvin
Gaye
Got
my
eyes
on
the
prize
but
it's
far
away
Now
what
you
gonna
do
when
it
comes
to
your
last
breath
And
when
it's
all
over
and
you're
down
in
your
casket
Lookin'
back
I
know
you
might've
saw
it
comin'
But
maybe
not
as
quick
as
everybody
still
runnin'
The
race
to
find
a
cure
for
the
universe
sufferin'
With
a
real
fix
not
a
poem
or
a
Bufferin
I
wanna
cuss
'cos
it
makes
me
disgusted
To
see
the
fucked
up
way
we
struggle
for
justice
My
great,
great
grandfathers
grew
up
in
bondage
My
great,
grandfather
died
beaten
unconscious
Both
my
grandfathers
were
dead
when
I
came
forth
to
this
earth
And
everybody
livin'
here's
hurt
Sometimes
I
wonder
if
it's
even
worth
it
All
I
got
is
this
pen
at
my
side
My
enemies
lied,
tryin'
to
hide
genocide
What's
goin'
on
in
the
world
today?
Can't
find
the
words
'cos
it's
hard
to
say
Just
makes
me
wanna
holler
like
Marvin
Gaye
Got
my
eyes
on
the
prize
but
it's
far
away
What's
goin'
on
in
the
world
today?
Can't
find
the
words
'cos
it's
hard
to
say
Just
makes
me
wanna
holler
like
Marvin
Gaye
Got
my
eyes
on
the
prize
but
it's
far
away
Well,
I
finally
made
it
out,
got
a
bank
account
New
car,
new
house,
new
spouse
and
a
few
doubts
'Cos
every
time
I
depart
and
I
start
steppin'
forward
I
take
two
steps
back
and
things
get
outta
order
It's
like
I'm
trying
to
keep
my
head
above
water
Due
to
cutbacks
hours
kept
gettin'
shorter
Now
it's
my
old
house
old
wife
and
a
new
daughter
But
I
can't
support
her
'cos
I'm
back
on
the
corner
That's
life
it's
gonna
run
out
like
a
flashlight
And
use
you
to
make
new
people
to
clap
right
You
wanna
know
what
the
meanin'
of
life
is?
You
might
live
to
find
out
and
die
when
you
find
it
But
either
way
when
you're
livin'
today
You
better
behave
as
if
it's
all
withered
away
'Cos
it's
all
a
small
ripple
in
the
ocean
of
time
But
it
shapes
the
size
of
a
generation
of
coastlines
What's
goin'
on
in
the
world
today?
Can't
find
the
words
'cos
it's
hard
to
say
Just
makes
me
wanna
holler
like
Marvin
Gaye
Got
my
eyes
on
the
prize
but
it's
far
away
What's
goin'
on
in
the
world
today?
Can't
find
the
words
'cos
it's
hard
to
say
Just
makes
me
wanna
holler
like
Marvin
Gaye
Got
my
eyes
on
the
prize
but
it's
far
away
