Lyrics
Hear this!
Yagga yow!
Anthony B, Vybz Kartel, Ninja Man
Showing the world the real togetherness
Ha!
Yo!
What's wrong with the world, mama?
Everyday we awake in the same drama
People only attract to what bring trauma
Man say dem a badman who waan slam hammer
Yo!
I wish Jamaica would be crime free
But the truth of the fact, crime mainstream
There's more youth in the penitentiary
Than inna classroom up a university
What an animosity
You no love your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And when you discriminate, you generate hate
And when you hate, say, you bound fi get evaporate
Yo!
Badness a wha' you demonstrate
That's exactly how anger operate
Haffi get some love fi set yourself straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the Lord
People killing, people dying
Children hurting, mothers crying
Time to practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father, Father, Father, help us
We need some guidance from above
People got me, got me questioning
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love, the love, the love?
Things just ain't the same
Always a change
New days are strange
Is the world the same?
If love and peace are so strong
Why the conflict is don't belong?
Nations dropping bombs
Chemical gas filling the lungs of little ones
With ongoing suffering as the youth die young
So I ask myself, "Is loving really gone?"
So I ask myself, "What's really going wrong?"
In this world that we're living in
People keep on giving in
Making wrong decisions, only visions of their living in
Not respecting each other, deny thy brother
What's going on?
The reason is kept undercover
The truth is kept secret
Swept under the rug
If you never know the truth, then you'll never know the love
Where's the love?
And where's the truth?
Up this time
People killing, people dying
Children hurting, mothers crying
Time to practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father, Father, Father, help us
We need some guidance from above
People got me, got me questioning
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love, the love, the love?
The gun pon the heap and a check it off
One ounce a gun, me no sell it off
War in the streets make we cut it off
Play domino and make we play draw
Catch a likkle cold and me haffi cough
They foot paw me make a ship a laugh
The confusion and the disillusion say
Tell them say the violence fi cool off
People killing, people dying
Children hurting, mothers crying
Time to practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father, Father, Father, help us
We need some guidance from above
People got me, got me questioning
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love, the love, the love?
Yagga yow!
