World We Live In

[Chorus: Etta Bond]

In this world we live in

Money makes you do mad things, all the girls are strippin'

I've seen some things in this world we live in

It's like we're dying just to make a livin'

Make a livin'

In this world we live in

Money makes you do mad things, all the girls are strippin'

I've seen some things in this world we live in

It's like we're dying just to make a livin'

In this world we live in

[Verse 1: Avelino]

I just had a dream about utopia

I heard the top is getting lonelier

I'm sick of being down, throw me up

I find it funny how fear's my only phobia

I grew up on Jesus, I mean Michael Jackson

I'm invincible too, the man in the mirror, that's him, yeah

And money makes you do mad things

The fact that mad things make money makes you do mad things, yeah yeah

And mama couldn't pay the bills

So now the bills pay mummy

You've got to have the will to win if the will ain't won

They thought I was a done deal but the deal ain't done

Fuck the fame, I'm just tryna feed my family, yeah

Glass ceilings tryna shatter me

But the way you're just a sinner, just a salary

No more stories 'till my ever after's happily

[Chorus: Etta Bond]

In this world we live in

Money makes you do mad things, all the girls are strippin'

I've seen some things in this world we live in

It's like we're dying just to make a livin'

Make a livin'

In this world we live in

Money makes you do mad things, all the girls are strippin'

I've seen some things in this world we live in

It's like we're dying just to make a livin'

In this world we live in

In this world we live in

[Verse 2: Kojey Radical]

Yeah

There's no studio audience

Flash cars [?] the violence

Minutes for the silence

Ooos for the violence

World star candid camera snaps

Clap claps from the congregation

Siren lights through stained glass windows

Widows sob softly

I guess we all love a tragedy

Standing ovation, murmurs for the dialogue

Couple people care, maybe some may sing a quiet song

Take to the streets and protest

Rant, rave, riot - like that's progress

Maybe this will go viral

Maybe the world will see me stand aside and point the blame like it's my fault

What did I do? Apart from stand idle

Seen enough to drop to my knees and covet and idol

A portrait of the world will show nobody smiling

A portrait of the world will show nobody's

Maybe we can shift the moons with the depths of our sighing

Maybe we can lift the oceans with the tears of our crying

Once told a mother's tears could [?] the seas of Poseidon
