World We Live In

[Chorus: Etta Bond]
In this world we live in
Money makes you do mad things, all the girls are strippin'
I've seen some things in this world we live in
It's like we're dying just to make a livin'
Make a livin'
In this world we live in
Money makes you do mad things, all the girls are strippin'
I've seen some things in this world we live in
It's like we're dying just to make a livin'
In this world we live in

[Verse 1: Avelino]
I just had a dream about utopia
I heard the top is getting lonelier
I'm sick of being down, throw me up
I find it funny how fear's my only phobia
I grew up on Jesus, I mean Michael Jackson
I'm invincible too, the man in the mirror, that's him, yeah
And money makes you do mad things
The fact that mad things make money makes you do mad things, yeah yeah
And mama couldn't pay the bills
So now the bills pay mummy
You've got to have the will to win if the will ain't won
They thought I was a done deal but the deal ain't done
Fuck the fame, I'm just tryna feed my family, yeah
Glass ceilings tryna shatter me
But the way you're just a sinner, just a salary
No more stories 'till my ever after's happily

[Chorus: Etta Bond]
In this world we live in
Money makes you do mad things, all the girls are strippin'
I've seen some things in this world we live in
It's like we're dying just to make a livin'
Make a livin'
In this world we live in
Money makes you do mad things, all the girls are strippin'
I've seen some things in this world we live in
It's like we're dying just to make a livin'
In this world we live in

In this world we live in

[Verse 2: Kojey Radical]
Yeah
There's no studio audience
Flash cars [?] the violence
Minutes for the silence
Ooos for the violence
World star candid camera snaps
Clap claps from the congregation
Siren lights through stained glass windows
Widows sob softly
I guess we all love a tragedy
Standing ovation, murmurs for the dialogue
Couple people care, maybe some may sing a quiet song
Take to the streets and protest
Rant, rave, riot - like that's progress
Maybe this will go viral
Maybe the world will see me stand aside and point the blame like it's my fault
What did I do? Apart from stand idle
Seen enough to drop to my knees and covet and idol
A portrait of the world will show nobody smiling
A portrait of the world will show nobody's
Maybe we can shift the moons with the depths of our sighing
Maybe we can lift the oceans with the tears of our crying
Once told a mother's tears could [?] the seas of Poseidon
