MAN ON THE MOON

[Chorus]

We can put a man on the moon

(How did we put a man on the moon?)

But we can't stop the hunger pains (The hunger pains)

Desperation hunger brings (That hunger brings)

We can put a man on the moon

(How did we put a man on the moon?)

But we can't stop the shooting (The shooting)

Political collusion (Collusion)

It's confusing how we put a man on the moon

[Verse 1]

I'm looking at the stars

The peace I need beneath my feet, the moon is kind of far

Them law patrol the road, I'm barely safe off in my car

Hitting the store and make it home is something like going out to Mars

It's hard to pay the bills, how I'm supposed to leave the planet?

I swear them astronauts never landed, left for stranded

In the hood, skin tone still getting looks

And I'm supposed to think it's all good, 'cause

[Chorus]

We can put a man on the moon

(How did we put a man on the moon?)

But we can't stop the hunger pains (The hunger pains)

Desperation hunger brings (That hunger brings)

We can put a man on the moon

(How did we put a man on the moon?)

But we can't stop the shooting (The shooting)

Political collusion (Collusion)

It's confusing how we put a man on the moon

[Verse 2]

But boy, they can't agree

When they go and divide the pie, no slices were left for me

And ain't no golden ticket to a distant rock, don't change it

Ain't no Black folk in Willy Wonka, I'm saying

Wrote us out the script, history'll never know

Even if you get you a degree, ain't no job to go

Tell me how Mother Earth on fire, but it's raining though

How we ever made it outer space, guess I'll never know, 'cause

[Chorus]

We can put a man on the moon

(How did we put a man on the moon?)

But we can't stop the hunger pains (The hunger pains)

Desperation hunger brings (That hunger brings)

We can put a man on the moon

(How did we put a man on the moon?)

But we can't stop the shooting

Political collusion

It's confusing how we put a—

[Refrain]

Take me to your leader (Take me to 'em), your leader

Take me to your leader (Take me to 'em), your leader

Take me to your leader (Take me to 'em), your leader

I can save the world, I can save the world (Take me to your leader)

[Verse 3]

Mass destruction, past combustion, boom

Too much concrete constantly for flowers to bloom

As the fires raging, animals caged and stages

Filled with people, fill the pockets of the regal

(Who we know) Preaching from the steeple

(Who we know) Pained, broken-down and feeble

(Who we know) Fight against the evil

If not you, take me to your leader

[Refrain]

Take me to your leader (Take me to 'em), your leader

Take me to your leader (Take me to 'em), your leader

Take me to your leader (Take me to 'em), your leader

I can save the world, I can save the world (Take me to your leader)

[Outro]

Take me to your leader

I can save the world, I can save the world
