lyrics

wheres the love
wheres the love
wheres the love
I don't understand, every year it's somethin man
lord please tell me why I need to clear this up

yo it seems like for years now, I been putting years in then the year's out
then it's new years eve and all I hear about is listen this one gon' be different dog I swear this year is ours
it's funny how it never is though, for every beat I sold I swear I lost a friend yo
I remember back when I was just an intern
making store runs and breaking dawn before my midterm then, next day, do it all over with the hope that I would see Styles P and get the courage to approach him
but, it rarely seemed as though the time was right
spent a fortune worth of time, trying to earn some kind of stripes
damn, all these moves that I was making
reputation building still I'm feeling like I'm faking
still I'm filling CD's up with beats that no one's taking
all I wanted was respect but nothing's given got to take it
nothing's given got to take it, I was living my dreams
I just had to Awaken.

maybe I'm invisible to the world
who knows, who knows, who knows
does anyone in the world even think of me
who knows, who knows, who knows
maybe I'm invisible to the world
who knows, who knows, who knows
does anyone in the world even think of me
who knows, who knows, who knows

Who really cares?
Who really cares?

so I decided hey, I love them Ryder days but how could I care bout my position when I'm out of place?
different taste just a case of the wrong match
gotta make it perfect it be worth it if it's from scratch
funny how energy you put toward a proper goal
have you feeling higher than an octave in them opera songs
thank god I got my own, team now if I get on
I'ma open lanes like I'm knockin over traffic cones
when I thought about what I had really wanted in my dreams I was never makin beats I was performin I was always on tour and I ignored it cuz I could never get the hand of recorded when I started it was horrid, damn
yo that shit was fuckin painful, refuse to let it break you and choose to have a breakthrough
I'm fighting for respect on a whole different level
remember me when I'm gone if they don't then I settled
if they don't then I settled, I gotta put it down bitch go and get ya shovel shit

maybe I'm invisible to the world
who knows, who knows, who knows
does anyone in the world even think of me
who knows, who knows, who knows
maybe I'm invisible to the world
who knows, who knows, who knows
does anyone in the world even think of me
who knows, who knows, who knows

Who really cares?
Who really cares?

growin up my favorite player was Spud Webb
and when I watched Jordan I was rootin for the upset
under dog picker, enough said
its a bitter struggle but it lead to sweeter success and shit
I'm obsessed everyday another gut check
how much more I gotta prove until somebody cuts checks
fuck yes I deserve it I could say that
dues paid bitch and now I'm due for the pay back
I gaze back on the groundwork I laid I could say any other way I wouldn't be the same cat, my story wouldn't sound the same in raps, wouldn't be the same glory or the same impact
you can't take shit back, can't bend facts, it's a script to embrace might as well enact
and if you still standing with your faith in tact
every five you gave in, you gon' get ten back
so who cares if they didn't think that you would make it from the start bitch it's where you end at watch me
