One World

Baby sista's
got a daddy walked out
Never looked back
didn't miss her
Lord I hate to see that hurt on he face
All grown up now
Living with a man
like to use his hand
Swearing that he owns her
Looking for that one to take her daddy's place

One world
We all live in the same world

My big brother
Losing his soul
Losing his mind
Jah, won't you teach him
Spending all his time putting junk in his veins
Brother come back home (now)
don't put the money
in the hand
of the dope man
he don't love you
Better look to the sky to heal all your pain

One world
We all live in the same world

My grandmother
Hand to the bone
brought me in her home
Working just to raise me
Taught me right from wrong and to look for better days
Mama's gone now
Did the best she can
Making me a man
Oh! How I miss her
Made me crawl so I would learn how to stand

One world
We all live in the same world
