Diversity Adversity (in the current sea) |

Verse 1
Crime has become relevant in recent generations distinguished by melanin wondering why One would ever consider themselves the rudest, radical racist, yet the vaguest thought Corrupts within, who may say there are dreamers but they are not the only ones Who hope someday we can no longer envision US or THEM, but merely WE Through what seed has grown more than the sum of it’s unequal parts If EACH originated from the ONE then WHO truly are the children of the SON How we BREED such attitude continuously as we cut one another each bleed What has been READ from time indefinite, we BABEL on the words to precedent Our intent to one another let no man put asunder, even though to whom we plunder Against each other we are not just, CASH is to ashes, lives to dust, burning much more Devotion to greed and lust, much less faith in common cents, larcenists react as they must Our songs resonate praise of wealth because it’s the only remaining NOTE IN GOD WE TRUST Chorus1 It’s not the RACE it’s the MONEY We’re either slave or slave master, never faster than the drumming It’s not the RACE it’s the MONEY Who is at fault for all the crime, the hatred, corruption and slumming? Diversity Adversity Along the current sea we swim in, we still strive to taste the honey It’s not the RACE it’s the MONEY If the haves lived like the have-nots, the shit would not be funny Verse2 The world does not revolve simply because of money - No, it’s certainly not simple In argument of location to zone to skin tone We are crowded yet somehow alone The wind still whispers within the sound that hung From ropes above the ground upon which High rises are now being built where once the homeless Spent their winter, the earth’s orbital Design will eventually splinter from the consequence of any season NOW is the reason of our discontent, all those resources spent to benefit a higher class No thank you, I’ll pass… “Evolution” my ass Chorus2 It’s not the RACE it’s the MONEY Were either slave or slave master, never faster than the drumming It’s not the RACE it’s the MONEY Who is at fault for all the crime, the hatred, corruption and slumming? Diversity Adversity The planet spins in revolution, soil toils not for seeking blame It’s not the RACE it’s the MONEY The effects of our dissent damage our nature just the same It’s not the RACE it’s the MONEY When my world revolved within my pocket, the skies were always sunny It’s not the RACE it’s the MONEY When the capital didn’t circulate, oh my view was always crummy Diversity Adversity If you’re WHITE the sky’s the limit, if you’re BLACK the limit’s the sky? It’s not the RACE it’s the MONEY While some RICH may know no boundary, the POOR still know not why Bridge WHY confusion with no retribution other than the VIOLENCE statistics state WHY miscommunication without representation erase affiliations for our debate WHY to liberate, from what hate, affects our neighborhoods at an alarming rate WHY such Alien Nation over who’s paying Illegal Immigration the government hides WHY racial Patriots unite against genocide, cannot communicate with opposing sides RACE against rapid current of emotions flowing through difficult narrow channels WHY through the course of one’s religion must we seek the leaders for our panels RACE contention targeting progression toward objective election soars WHY so many heritages debate their place within natural selection’s course WHY each group desire similar goals of higher protection for our own peace RACE with separate choice to initiate how to instigate proper release WHILE EYE don’t agree with what you’re saying, I still defend your right to say it But when you come stomping down on our streets you’ll remember how we play it Final Chorus It’s not the RACE it’s the MONEY We’re either slave or slave master, never faster than the drumming It’s not the RACE it’s the MONEY Who is at fault for all the crime, the hatred, corruption and slumming? It’s not the RACE it’s the MONEY Along the current sea we swim in, we still strive to taste the honey It’s not the RACE it’s the MONEY If the haves lived like the have-nots, YO the shit would not be funny It’s not the RACE it’s the MONEY The planet spins in revolution, soil toils not for seeking blame It’s not the RACE it’s the MONEY The effects of our dissent damage our nature just the same It’s not the RACE it’s the MONEY When my world revolved within my pocket, the skies were always sunny It’s not the RACE it’s the MONEY When the capital didn’t circulate, oh my view was always crummy It’s not the RACE it’s the MONEY Those who carry The Current Sea, protect the place to which it’s flowing It’s not the RACE it’s the MONEY Dissention among different mention, the real reason they’re not showing Diversity Adversity If you’re WHITE the sky’s the limit, if you’re BLACK the limit’s the sky? NO - It’s not the RACE it’s the MONEY While some RICH may know no boundary, the POOR still know not why It’s not the RACE it’s the MONEY We are at WAR with one another, COMPETING LINEAGE ONGOING It’s not the RACE it’s the MONEY For who will control and who will DEFEND the positions they keep growing Diversity Adversity We’re being led to conclude that we are separate from the ONE It’s not the RACE it’s the MONEY We’re either slave or slave master, forever passing on the drum Copyright 2006 (Elizabeth Anne) FunkyButtMonkeeMusic, INC (BMI) |
