Lyrics
(First verse: M.C. Spin)
hopefully this will be the last time (x 4)
Lookin? for better days, better places
I was lookin for better days, better places (x 2)
(chorus: M.C. Spin x 2)
Lookin? for better days, better places
No bombs, no glocks, armies to waste us
Livin? life in constant fear
While we doin?nothin? here
(second verse: Skeight)
Why is the world so messed up? I?m stressed up
Kids being blown up. This situations got me gassed up
The worlds masked up, ?cause they can?t realize
That all this violence is happening in front of their eyes
While kids watch their families meet their demise
Hiding in bomb shelters just to try and stay alive
This ain?t right, this ain?t hype
?Cause real life is without strife, no need to fight yeah that?s right (M.C. Spin)
There?s lots of things in this world that are going wrong
Like people dropping bombs all over Beirut, Lebanon
Imagine a bomb being dropped on your front lawn
You?re in the middle of a war zone and your families gone
It?s kind of hard on me ?cause part of my family lives there
Lots of civilians, innocent adults and kids there
And we?re doing nothing about it over here
We really should be doing something about it over there!
(chorus: M.C. Spin x 2)
Lookin? for better days, better places
No bombs, no glocks, armies to waste us
Livin? life in constant fear
While we doin?nothin? here
