"Where Is The Love?"

What's wrong with the world, mama
People livin' like they ain't got no mamas
I think the whole world addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma
Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin'
In the USA, the big CIA

The Bloods and The Crips and the KKK
But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you're bound to get irate,

yeah

Madness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
Man, you gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all, y'all

...

I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm gettin' older, y'all, people gets colder
Most of us only care about money makin'
Selfishness got us followin' our wrong direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria

Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinema
Yo', whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness in equality

Instead of spreading love we're spreading animosity
Lack of understanding, leading lives away from unity

That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' down
There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under
Gotta keep my faith alive till love is found
Now ask yourself

Where is the love?

Lol, back when that song first came out, I remember the people who listened to it were getting laughed at.  It's an okay song, though I always thought it was a bit cliche.  Either way, I just remember people getting lolled at like crazy and told they were gay for liking it, or really anything by Black Eyed Peas.

Maybe if you could find a way to mix the message with something a little more hard, it might just be able to appeal to the people who typically hate listening to songs as soft as that.  But I honestly have no idea how you'd do that without it seeming like a joke.

You can't possibly love your race, and at the same time, not hate or wish to discriminate others?

Fallacious.

So that means its a bad song? Come on man thats a pretty lame way to piss on the thing.

Well yeah but that doesn't mean the message is wrong itself.

its always thought gay to speak against hate and against killin and for uniting. when ppl tell you to kill and hate then yeah its more hard core but that doesn't mean those guys who think like that aren't gay themselves

You got ppl that keep pissing on others and telling them to hate and meanwhile they dress up as little girls and whine all day. Thats pretty pussy.

I'm a WN and I don't hate or wish to discriminate. I wish in pure freedom of association.
If you want to live with other races, go ahead.
If you want to miscegenate, go ahead.

I may not agree with you, but what am I going to do?

But, if you want to live with just your race and keep your bloodline in one group - go ahead. Nobody has any right to stop you.

There's nothing wrong with singing to convince people to stop hating races, but there is something wrong with suggesting love for your race equates to hate for others.

I don't know if you hate but you sure want to discriminate. Race segregation is pretty much discrmination,

When you say to a group of ppl you can't live here because of their race thats discrimination. When you say to a group of ppl they don't have a right to bring in their family because they are not of the race you want you discriminate. When you say to ppl they are not white because they have 1/8 nonwhite you discriminate.

And when you discriminate it does generate hate because of the injustice.

Nah, I like plenty of things that people laugh at. Although this specific song is just okay. I hear the sentiment expressed all the time. Yeah, it's cool that they put it in a song and the song isn't bad, but eh, I'd rather be listening to Tech N9ne or some shit.  

I only recall that because I have a lol memory back in 2003. I had just gotten my license toward the end of that year, being the first of all my friends, and as a result, I was shuttling everyone around. Anyway, my friend wanted to go meet this girl he was trying to hook up with at the movie theater with this group of people from school. My dad's car had a pretty good amp and subs (at least by 2003 standards), so I gave my friend a bunch of shit by playing that song at full blast with max bass (like it was a party van or something) as I pulled up to his group at the theater. It was so lol. Everyone died laughing and my friend couldn't look at anyone in the face, while they all called him homo and did so for weeks. Haha this song brings back that memory every time I hear it - that's why I brought it up.
