Pursuit of Happiness
I wanna live in a world full of peace
The color of skin, it just don't matter
Let's get along and let's get better
I want a life full of love, full of peace
Life, liberty, pursuit of happiness
In the air, there's no pollution
No oil spilling in the ocean
So today, I made the motion
Just a crazy notion, I was hoping
For a world full of inclusion
Let's uphold the constitution
Bring an end to all the confusion
And know that love is the only solution
We need more Lennons, Lincolns
More Kennedys and Kings
Lord, could you send somebody to help us?
Someone to hеlp us with the dream
We need anothеr Marley, a Gandhi
A preacher, a teacher
So I'm asking you today
Because the world, we really need you
I wanna live
I wanna live in a world that's full of hope and change
There's a brighter day
And I wanna go to a place called we the people
Where everyone's treated equal
Come on, let's go and live
Find a cure for all diseases
Put back all the broken pieces
Food and shelter for all the homeless
Give someone a hug in case they need it
You're my sister, you're my brother
Let's take care of one another
And the Earth, it is our mother
I don't wanna hurt her any further
We need more Lennons, Lincolns
More Kennedys and Kings
Lord, could you send somebody to help us?
Someone to help us with the dream
We need another Marley, a Gandhi
A preacher, a teacher
So I'm asking you today
Because the world, we really need you
And I wanna live in a world full of peace
If you do, then pull up a seat
I wanna live in a world full of peace
The color of skin, it just don't matter
Let's get along and let's get better
I want a life full of love, full of peace
Life, liberty, pursuit of happiness
What a difference one man can make
And that one man starts with you
We shouldn't be treating each other harmfully, no
We have come too far to turn around
So there just ain't no excuse
We all can live in peace and harmony, oh, I wanna live
I wanna live in a world full of peace
The color of skin, it just don't matter
Let's get along and let's get better
I wanna live in a world full of peace
Life, liberty, pursuit of happiness
I wanna live in a world full of peace
I'm gonna fight for the right
I want a life full of love, full of peace
Life, liberty, pursuit of happiness
I wanna live in a world full of peace
Come on, all, let's work together
We can get through the stormy weather
I wanna live in a world full of peace
Life, liberty, pursuit of happiness
I wanna live
I wanna live in a world that's full of hope and change
There's a brighter day
And I wanna go to a place called we the people
Where everyone's treated equal
Come on, let's go and live
And I wanna live in a world full of peace
If you do, then pull up a seat
I want the good life (yes), no more living strife
I want the dog, the kids, the house, the wife (uh-huh)
I wanna live in peace and tranquility (for real)
So please don't bring bad news to Keith
'Cause everybody mad even if the day's sunny
Pissed off, funked up, stressed out over money
They say it can't buy you love, yes, it could
I see it going on around the world in every hood
How you livin' makin' bad decisions?
I'll have you sketched out and stretched out, laid up in prison
You're as small as you desire (uh-huh), big as you aspire
So let's get back on track, flat tire
Keith Murray, Kool and the Gang, what's funkin' with that?
Funk, rap, pop, soul mixed with rap (uh-huh)
We're bringin' it back (uh-huh), we bridgin' the gap
Generation to generation, now that's the facts
And I wanna live in a world full of peace
If you do, then pull up a seat
The color of skin, it just don't matter
Let's get along and let's get better
I want a life full of love, full of peace
Life, liberty, pursuit of happiness
In the air, there's no pollution
No oil spilling in the ocean
