[Nick Cannon:] All jokes is savage, it lies your eyes every time I smile While, as a child at the core, gotta spit these pearls to my unborn Poems ‘till they get into this world! Show 'em how to fit into this world Knowing unless you're gonna make a difference you ain't s**t in this world Excuse my language, damn, I guess I’m just anxious! Man, it take away all the suffering, pain, hatred and anguish! This place is dangerous, we’re entertainers, But so many of our angels have fallen and walk with Satan, But don’t be too religious, cause that’s just a business. I hate to say this, but it is what it is…. Ya al just can’t live what we live, Is gonna be individuals, be negative. They gonna hate your skin tone, hate your income Hate your homes and even hate on your mom. Hate on me for making this song. But you are not alone…
[Sade:] There is a woman in Somalia Scraping for pearls on the roadside There's a force stronger than nature Keeps her will alive That's how she's dying She's dying to survive Don't know what she's made of I would like to be that brave! She cries to the Heaven above There is a stone in my heart, She lives a life she didn't choose And it hurts like brand-new shoes! Hurts like brand-new shoes!
[Nick Cannon:] Ya’ll are covered by the father, And your mother’s one of the greats, And when I meet you in person I’m gonna say this to your face. My daughter, be careful! But my son, go harder in the pain, ..no chaser, but only tasted the moderation! I ain’t never drink, but this is a celebration, So I’m toasting with potions that keep endorphins open. Lord knows I’m hopin’ that you embrace my mistakes That I have yet to make, And I thank you beforehand as I accept your grace. Your hands I can’t wait to cast my pearls among saints.
[Sade:] There is a woman in Somalia The sun gives her no mercy The same sky we lay under Burns her to the bone Long as afternoon shadows It's gonna take her to get home Each grain carefully wrapped up Pearls for her little girl.
Hallelujah Hallelujah
She cries to the heaven above There is a stone in my heart She lives a life she didn't choose And it hurts like brand-new shoes.
