will.i.am — Nature of the World

Stop smiling, we still don't nothing move but the money, we still don't nothing move but the money, m-move but the money [Chorus] [Justin Timberlake] The-na-ture-of-the-world-to-day, the nature of the world today The-na-ture-of-the-world-to-day, the nature of the world today [will.i.am] Stop, stop, stop Stop smiling 'cos the way the world's moving's not funny School system condition your child to be a dummy Ain't no education in education honey School teacher's only rackin' up a little money T.V.'s raising kids in the new era And I don't see a prophet that'll prophesize it clearer Dayum if Christ comes back they'll probably kill him Crucify him twice just to keep the people from hearin' The message that you and I should be hearin' The unhearable What I'm getting to is this world is somethin' terrible I've had it up to hear 'cos being blind's unbearable It sounds like I'm goin' deaf So now I'll go hysterical 'Cos living in a world that's not harmonius is deafening There's no life business but death is a profession You got morticians and coroners, exorcism performers But we ain't got nobody there positioned just to warn us of the Dum, dum, dum, dum, dumb conditioning We gettin' elementary, it's funny how they put us in a dummy state o' mind A dummy state of mind I ain't smiling 'cos all they got is money on they mind That's the nature... [Chorus] The-na-ture-of-the-world-to-day, the nature of the world today The-na-ture-of-the-world-to-day, the nature of the world today [will.i.am] Money got me dog, money got you Money got you working just to pay off your coupe Money got the gas prices higher than ever The people runnin' money yo they gotta be clever because if you ain't got no money then you wanna get some People want money more than education And if you wanna education then you gotta pay to get it Money's the new God, if it ain't who is it? Looking back at the dollar, In God We Trust Fuck that, money ain't God and money ain't us People will save a dime, people will save a dollar They hesitate to save a life if they hear a holler So holler, holler, holler if I'm hitting you with purity Homeland security is insecurity, secure the homeland with proper education Expand the minds of the youth and build up the nation And compete in a whole new world of technology We been brainwashed and tricked psychologically That we just consumers so gon' get ya money And buy a diamond ring for your honey But fuck that, I realize that I'm shinin' like the sun Got enlighten and enlighten everyone I realize that I'm shinin' like the sun Get enlighten and learn a little somethin' about the nature... [Chorus] [Justin Timberlake] The-na-ture-of-the-world-to-day, the nature of the world today The-na-ture-of-the-world-to-day, the nature of the world today [Outro] [Justin Timberlake] These are the things you do when everybody turns their back
