People Make the World Go Round - Freddie Hubbard

In the quickness of our haste It seems we forget how to live The old blueprint No longer manifests itself As the correct way to exist Wipe the grime off the view hole And please take a closer look Environmental bandits Up to their shenanigans Crooks disguised... We've got to find another way To make the world go 'round Our individual roles we think Not so important to the plot The big picture unseen Leaving life un between Destroyed and overwrought There's no need to point the finger We understand who takes the blame Delinquents caught Red-handed in the act Crooks disguised as you and I We've got to find another way To make the world go 'round You see there's many many many People in the world And I'm not sure if I like What I've heard I'm not sure if I like What I'm doing myself I'm not sure if I like how it turns Degradation Violation Inexcusable exploitation It's the dawning of a new era People consciously don't care How unfair We've gotta find another way To make the world go 'round

Round' here lately it's been rough Too much heartbreak not enough love I've been doubtin' if I'll ever find myself again And I worry I won't ever be enough Oooh I've been searching for the truth And then I tell myself Whatever don't kill makes you tough Can't tap out when the times gets rough I know it ain't easy but the only way that we get stronger Is get a little burnt yeah take a little fall Hurts like hell when you're goin' through it all Get knocked down but we get back up Whatever don't kill you makes you tough tough Whatever don't kill you makes you tough tough Aw yeah I've been beat up black and blue I've been broke a time or two I've had nothing left to lose But then my faith pulled me through No more searching for the truth And now I tell myself Whatever don't kill you makes you tough Can't tap out when the times gets rough I know it ain't easy but the only way that we get stronger Is get a little burnt yeah take a little fall Hurts like hell when you're goin' through it all Get knocked down but we get back up Whatever don't kill you makes you tough tough Whatever don't kill you makes you tough tough We fall down we get up It's how we do it where we from We got us we got love We tough We fall down we get up It's how we do it where we from We got us we got love We tough Whatever don't kill you makes you tough Can't tap out when the times gets rough I know it ain't easy but the only way that we get stronger Is get a little burnt yeah take a little fall Hurts like hell when you're goin' through it all Get knocked down but we get back up Whatever don't kill you makes you tough tough Whatever don't kill you makes you tough tough We tough we tough
