We are borrowing this world
Good tomorrows in this world
We will kill them if we're only running down the bills them
Got a letter from a little girl
She said, "Please Miss, read this to the world"
It brought tears to my eyes
When I saw what the baby writes
"Why my mama can't find a job?
Why's she finding it so hard
And why can't I have a barbie doll?"
She said, "Please, lady, please
She said, "I'm scared 'cause every day
Another girl my age goes missing
'Cause my little brother's
Asking for a better world
We are borrowing this world
Good tomorrows in this world
We will kill them if we're only running down the bills them
We are borrowing this world
Good tomorrows in this world
We will kill them if we're only running down the bills them
Let's return a better world to them (let's return this world to them)
Everything that we do now
Form a part of the script of the youth's life story
Every youth that we slow down
Take away from the shine of the future's glory
I wanna see them grow and play
In a world where they don't have to worry (they don't have to worry)
I don't want them to go astray
This world is for them it's not for we
We are borrowing this world
Good tomorrows in this world
We will kill them if we're only
Running down the bills them
Let's return a better world to them
'Cause if we don't do nothing
There'll be no tomorrow in this world
We will be nothing if we don't do something
We need to listen to this little girl
We are borrowing this world
Good tomorrows in this world
We will kill them if we're only
Running down the bills them
Let's return (let's return) a better world to them (a better world to them)
You are borrowing this world (oh lawd)
Good tomorrows in this world (better world to them)
You will kill them if you're only
Running down the bills them
Let's return a better world to them
