Different World

[Intro: Jermaine Jackson]

The world around I see in only shades of gray (Get up)

But when the love light shines upon my face

[Chorus: Jermaine Jackson & Posdnuos]

I'm in a different world (A world worth giving)

A world I never knew

I'm in a different world (A world worth living)

A world so sweet and true

I'm in a different world (Worth giving)

I'm in a different (Worth living)

I'm in a different world, ayy, hey

[Verse 1: Posdnuos]

There was a time when my mind was so

Caught up in a bind 'cause the grind was so

In my face, but now I'm in a place where the taste for the grit is no longer what I'm craving

Tested life, and the grays is up

The view is bright when no shades is up

And I don't mean what sits upon Dwayne Wayne ears

But the dark thoughts my mind bathed in

Now put behind me come what may

Free spirit residing where the gut lay

A hippie at heart like Freddie

So I keep a smile steady and negativity out of my focus

No longer at odds with staying hard in life

Greener the side where your God's in life

Blessed to be intact but changing, having insight to aim

I'm in a different world

[Chorus: Jermaine Jackson & Posdnuos]

I'm in a different world (A world worth giving)

A world I never knew

I'm in a different world (A world worth living)

A world so sweet and true

I'm in a different world (Worth giving)

I'm in a different (Worth living)

I'm in a different world, ayy, hey

[Interlude: Gina Loring]

Gravity would have us walk heavy

But we who read the wind know the freedom of levity

We live in a now moment when the beat drops

We march to the beatbox of our own frequency

Feel the light ascension, where friends become ancestors, ancestors become friends

We in a different world where the connection transcends

[Verse 2: Posdnuos]

Hard for me to cry 'cause I'm thankful

You right beside us with the tank full

Steering us through right and left turns

What we earned is another angel on our side

Or is it too hard for me to cry?

'Cause we hold too much in the lie

To ourselves for saying we are strong

And wrong in being selfish in wishing you had never died

It's like we lost a limb to gain a win

But Mase and I would rather be whole

I know you are providing us with warmth

But I'd rather you here what us fighting through the cold

Us arguing and mad at each other

Would be better than us to not have each other

But all I can do is bite my lip

And be blessed to have you steering the ship, from a different world

[Chorus: Jermaine Jackson & Posdnuos]

I'm in a different world (A world worth giving)

A world I never knew

I'm in a different world (A world worth living)

A world so sweet and true

I'm in a different world (Worth giving)

I'm in a different (Worth living)

I'm in a different world, ayy, hey

[Outro: Jermaine Jackson]

I'm—

I'm—
