What Am I Supposed to Do? (feat. Suhn)
What's the world coming to?
What am I suppose to do?
We gotta find love today
I know there's a way
It's gonna be alright
I'm from the west, SF, started by the gold rush
where 300 thou(sand), came to get their pockets swollen up
shaking pans, making plans for a hold up
killing millions of Indians arrows and bows flushed
a century later ain't a damn thing changed
the homeless shake cans for a dollar and some change
kids steal a 12 gauge, protection from a blade
or put it in a tellers face to offset minimum wage
is this Americas greed or survival skills?
we needs a dollar from the streets to the highest hills
in Japan, where a tsunami killed thousands
Haiti, Indonesia, New Orleans public housing
around the world, many seek opportunity
but some chase the green, get the blues and a eulogy
all for that leather trim and some better rims
we just a need a dollar ya'll forget the tom foolery
I say
What's the world coming to?
What am I suppose to do?
We gotta find love today
I know there's a way
It's gonna be alright
now there's a war outside
that's taking too many lives
what's left to do but cry?
but you gotta believe in something
don't just stand for nothing
so fight for your rights and lets end this war!
What's the world coming to?
What am I suppose to do?
We gotta find love today
I know there's a way
It's gonna be alright
I've seen people get shot below my window sill
over love of drugs and wrinkled bills
thugs hugging stainless steel with intent to kill
out to destroy for real what was meant to build
sporting scars on their sleeves
and walk their hearts on a leash
barking at peace, talking smart with police
you think its gonna stop soon brother?
as long as the sun shines we'll always have thunder
but love conquers all so we'll always have to wonder
what life could be like if we lived loved for others
cause for sure, we know what its like without it
just look at that body and chalk lines that surround it
What am I suppose to do?
We gotta find love today
I know there's a way
It's gonna be alright
