Текст песни The World is Burning - Qed

Round and round we go, divided we fall together we grow

I know I can't be the only one
Feeling that the world is burning, the world is burning
After all is said and done
We all we got, while the world keeps turning
While the world keeps turning

Can't help but feel
Heartbroken and hopeless, losing focus
Lump in my throat, choked up when I wrote this
It's like all the joy just vanished vamosed before my eyes
Unreal like hocus pocus
Will we ever learn from history?
Or are we doomed to burn and burn repeatedly?
Got me wondering how hard can it be?
To set your mind free and let us coexist peacefully
I guess it's in our nature to be a beast
Once released to these streets ain't no mercy for our innocent seeds
Where's the mercy for them babies that bleed
'Cuz all I see is people murder for currency
What feeds man's greed? Money and fame?
So much pain seeing bombs over Ukraine
Thought we had progressed more, but it's the same
Two thousand twenty-two, it's a God damn shame

I know I can't be the only one
Feeling that the world is burning, the world is burning
After all is said and done
We all we got, while the world keeps turning
While the world keeps turning

Another day another morning similar story
I watch the news, just to see another mother mourning
A mother in pain her son died in vein
In search of superficial street glory another tragic allegory
She lost her son to street violence so unnecessary
Went from life to eternal silence in the cemetery
Death catches up quicker living in a hurry
All the what ifs in the world won't bring him back
Now that he's dead and buried
He used to be so full of life and like that he's gone
Tunnel-visioned couldn't leave the street life alone
He felt at home, loved on the streets he used to roam
But the streets don't love you back, you'll get jail time or tombstone
Far from grown, got set up by one of his own
It's always the ones closest to you scheming on your throne
Never did he learn right from wrong
Ended up in the gutter with blood gushing from his dome

I know I can't be the only one
Feeling that the world is burning, the world is burning
After all is said and done
We all we got, while the world keeps turning
While the world keeps turning

Sitting here reminiscing, thinking 'bout, my old missus
I really miss us, I miss all our hugs and kisses
So delicious, I'm sending y'all my best wishes
Wish y'all could harvest the fruit with me on my road to riches
On my quest for more knowledge
I came from a broke household where nobody saw college
But I can't diss my folks, those the hands they were dealt
So I fold my hands and pay homage
Dear father dear mother, I know you did the best you could
But you never knew about the hood
It swarms with snakes not a lot of good
A place where the meaning of being loyal's misunderstood
It's all bad, my striving got these haters mad
Just 'cause I hustle for the things that I never had
I'm just a dude writing jewels on a pad
Hope I leave the world a better place, if only just a tad

I know I can't be the only one
Feeling that the world is burning, the world is burning
After all is said and done
We all we got, while the world keeps turning
While the world keeps turning

I know I can't be the only one
Messed up 'cuz the world is burning, the world is burning
After all is said and done
We all we got, while the world keeps turning
While the world keeps turning

Round and round we go, divided we fall together we grow
