Livin’ in a World
By EW
Livin’ in this world
Where things too turnt
When people can’t learn nothing
Because they too burnt
This world is so filled with hate
That sometimes I just want to vacate
Livin’ in this world
Where ain’t no mistakes
Because everybody looking you in the face
You wanna be a star
But you feel like the world isn’t with you
Livin’ in this world
With thousands of people who cry
So much tissue can’t wipe their eyes
Livin’ in this world
