Canon and Gigue in D Major: String Quintet & Rap

[Verse 1: MALI]
How many times must we start again?
The creation of the world from beginning to end
What will it take before we learn?
We got to wake up now and show some concern
What will the future hold?
How many untold stories will be told?
Just what will the future bring?
How many species of birds will have a song to sing?
Man and man can't even get on
And men and women been at war for far too long
Superior race, all this black and white vision
Catholic, Muslim, there’s too many religions
Too much hatred, too much greed
Ignorant people pollute the air that we breath
We got to wake up now before it's much too late
Hungry people need food on their plate
People being killed just for a few pence
Can you justify that? 'Cause it makes no sense to me
You’re are going up just too fast
The destruction of mankind, how long will it last?

[Verse 2: MALI]
Perfect, that's why I'm striving to be
The next big thing will do for me
I do my best, you disagree
Holier than thou, holier than me
Committing crimes with no remorse
As good as gold, now an evil force
One word description is a dis
You lick a boy down for his bag of cheese and onion crisps
And you don't even stop to think:
Whatever happened to the dinosaurs could make us all extinct
I'm being judged by the clothes that I wear
We got to educate those with a grudge to bear
But I'm content to a certain extent
You're condemned for life, it's too late to repent
In a most beauty, such a terrible waste
Caught between a rock and hard place

[Bridge: London Gospel Choir]
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, yeah, oh-oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh-oh yeah, oh yeah, woah yeah, woah yeah

[Verse 3: MALI]
Be judged by according to what you’ve done
Live his life, the next is a better one
Eat the fruit from the tree of life
’Cause if you live by the sword, you'll die by the knife
How great and wonderful are your days?
How right and true are your ways?
No more death, grief, crying or pain
’Cause only the good things will remain
Heed my words 'cause what I'm saying is true
Treat them exactly as they treated you
Wipe away the tears from your eyes
Be proud, lift your head up, reach for the sky

[Bridge: London Gospel Choir]
Ah, yeah, ah, ah, oh, oh oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh oh, oh-oh, oh-oh yeah, oh-oh yeah

[Verse 4: MALI]
Condemned for what you did to them
Now see how quick they fall to worship Him
There's a place in my heart that makes me understand
Prepared and ready like a bride dressed to meet her husband
Treat life as a learning process
I said, "turn right," so you took a sharp left
Wake up and we’ll all sleep peacefully
The sun shines but it still seems bleak to me
You tell a lie and convince me it's the truth
I'm well-mannered, yet you still call me uncouth
I believe that there's got to be much more
I hope I'm ready when death comes knockin' on my door
Maybe tonight, maybe as I sleep
It can drive you mad if you think too deep
But don't have a breakdown 'cause I called you a down
You threw a punch and missed, I killed you with a kiss
What on earth will you do then?
The hour of your death, amen
And all the prejudice that I've sustained
I know it sounds funny, but I just can't stand the pain

[Bridge: London Gospel Choir]
Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do, yeah, oh-oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh-yeah oh-yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Hey-yeah-yeah, hey-hey-hey

[Possible Outtake?]
Six foot below, reap what you sow
Grim without grief, sad without sorrow
