If solutions come from small seeds
Then I have no green thumb
Show me a river to cross
I`ll show you a model named Jordan
Children walk stillborn
As mothers live war-torn
With so much to buy and so little supply
`Cause Daddy said bye
He ran off with some guy
Who promised ascension.
In 13 Dimensions
As long as we can shop till we drop
And we don`t sleep to dream
We`ll never awaken
And we`ll never know what hit us
We`ve got all of these choices
We`re making not one decision
Meanwhile all this white noise is
Just numbing derision
So many whiners but no one to push
I don`t wanna but Nike
But I`m feeling that Swoosh
I cannot deny what I so need to buy
I`d run so much faster
You swear you could fly...
[chorus]
I`m nobody`s Socrates, coming with ghetto philosophies
But I think that we can all agree:
A world with no community
And only dollar bills, and making cash , and pimps and ho`s...
It ain`t gonna go.
Ain`t gon last too long.
Still too many going to bed starving
While across the world somebody`s carving up a territory making dollars
Turn a deaf ear and you won`t have to hear the hollers
Of `How long, how long...`
