Chorus:

Our world is hopeless, and we have no where to go

Our children are hungry, and we can't feed the
poor

Were really hopeless, spread some love before

And love that and hold in

Lord I really miss my friends

Lord please help us

[C-Murder]

Now as I walk through the streets I see many
people under pressure

Cause uh life ain't easy and you know this world
gon' test ya

My daddy told me C one day you gon' be faced with
this problem

And you and only you must find the knowledge to
solve it

My momma said Lord gives us tests to measure our
faith

And if you really believe in God, then you shall
smile on judgement day

Cause at the crossroads ain't no hunger, and
every man the same color

And when it's my time to open 'em gates cause uh

I really miss my brother

And you the only man that can judge me

So please guide me to the right direction

And why can't I put this gun up and use my Bible
for protection

And it's an everyday struggle, don't expect
nothing to change in a week

But Lord help us in this hopeless world

Cause I don't wanna die in the streets

Chorus

[C-Murder]

Now I done been stop shedding tears, now my eyes
bleed when they cry

And I never understand why, everybody gotta die

And everything that's born gotta go, and I really
think that's a shame

And I'm so tired of reminiscin'

Trying to put a face to a name

You put my grandfather in my life, and then you
took him away

Yeah, big daddy used to drink but uh, he gave me
a place to stay

And many kids starving overseas, and even right
here on my block

My auntie told me in the year 2000 that the world
was gon' stop

Now I don't wanna question you Lord, but is
violence really the answer

And if not, then how come so many innocent people
diein' of the cancer

Now revolations say the world gon' end, but the
world ain't over yet

And it's up to us to move on, but in our hearts
we'll never forget

Chorus

[C-Murder]

They say God created man, and put man on this
earth

And then came woman from there, and from there,
there was birth

And ever since Eve gave Adam the apple, the
bible's like the spell

And introduced mankind, not only to Heaven, but a
place called Hell

Even though we try to repent, it's too many
gangstas taking us down

My cousin tried to leave the streets, and now he
laying in the ground

And Jesus died for our sins, but I wonder if he
wasted his time

Cause it's 1999, and this world is still blind

Now I don't wanna lose my freedom, cause I'm this
close to making it big

Now I don't know if I'm a make a difference

But I just wanna be there for my kids

Now that's a hopeless situation, when will it
end, I don't know

But Lord help cause your children, ain't got no
where else to go
