QED - The World is Burning

Round and round we go, divided we fall together we grow 
I know I can't be the only one 
Feeling that the world is burning, the world is burning 
After all is said and done 
We all we got, while the world keeps turning, while the world keeps turning  
Can't help but feel 
Heartbroken and hopeless, losing focus 
Lump in my throat, choked up when I wrote this 
It's like all the joy just vanished vamosed before my eyes
Unreal like hocus pocus 
Will we ever learn from history? 
Or are we doomed to burn and burn repeatedly? 
Got me wondering how hard can it be? 
To set your mind free and let us coexist peacefully 
I guess it's in our nature to be a beast
Once released to these streets ain't no mercy for our innocent seeds 
Where's the mercy for them babies that bleed 
'Cuz all I see is people murder for currency 
What feeds man's greed? Money and fame? 
So much pain seeing bombs over Ukraine 
Thought we had progressed more, but it's the same 
Two thousand twenty-two, it's a God damn shame 
I know I can't be the only one 
Feeling that the world is burning, the world is burning 
After all is said and done 
We all we got, while the world keeps turning, while the world keeps turning
Another day another morning similar story 
I watch the news, just to see another mother mourning 
A mother in pain her son died in vein 
In search of superficial street glory another tragic allegory 
She lost her son to street violence so unnecessary 
Went from life to eternal silence in the cemetery 
Death catches up quicker living in a hurry 
All the what ifs in the world won't bring him back now that he's dead and buried 
He used to be so full of life and like that he's gone 
Tunnel-visioned couldn't leave the street life alone 
He felt at home, loved on the streets he used to roam
But the streets don't love you back, you'll get jail time or tombstone 
Far from grown, got set up by one of his own 
It's always the ones closest to you scheming on your throne 
Never did he learn right from wrong 
Ended up in the gutter with blood gushing from his dome 
I know I can't be the only one 
Feeling that the world is burning, the world is burning 
After all is said and done 
We all we got, while the world keeps turning, while the world keeps turning
Sitting here reminiscing, thinking 'bout, my old missus 
I really miss us, I miss all our hugs and kisses 
So delicious, I'm sending y'all my best wishes 
Wish y'all could harvest the fruit with me on my road to riches 
On my quest for more knowledge 
I came from a broke household where nobody saw college 
But I can't diss my folks, those the hands they were dealt 
So I fold my hands and pay homage 
Dear father dear mother, I know you did the best you could 
But you never knew about the hood 
It swarms with snakes not a lot of good 
A place where the meaning of being loyal's misunderstood 
It's all bad, my striving got these haters mad 
Just 'cause I hustle for the things that I never had 
I'm just a dude writing jewels on a pad 
Hope I leave the world a better place, if only just a tad 
I know I can't be the only one 
Feeling that the world is burning, the world is burning 
After all is said and done 
We all we got, while the world keeps turning, while the world keeps turning 
I know I can't be the only one 
Messed up 'cuz the world is burning, the world is burning 
After all is said and done 
We all we got, while the world keeps turning, while the world keeps turning 
Round and round we go, divided we fall together we grow
