Nelly: What's going on 'cross seas / Every minute a child dies by this disease / In record numbers indeed / Got momma's crying out please / My baby hold on / My child ain't done nothing wrong / Still I want to holler / Ask them why they don't bother / Oh no, oh no / Make me turn to my father / And ask him why they all got a trapped soul
Nas: I can feel what was bothering Marvin / Why his words forever remain / Dealing with these modern day problems / 'Cause of ignorance surrounding me and my constituents / Too many infected / Too many lives diminishing / Nobody say Protestants, Jews, Blacks, and Whites, Latinos and Asians / Pray together / Less fight / We better unite / As genocide chemical war / And the rich and the poor / Know that God delivers a cure
Eve: It's a shame our reality is devastating / People praying for a cure / Dying while they're waiting / Ask the Lord for the comfort and strength to face it / All the kids with dreams / Won't get the chance to chase it / Makes me sad / Think about the lives they would've had / Think about the orphan babies got no moms and dads / How can we sit back and not try to make it right / We gotta come together / We gotta fight for life
Fred Durst: Somebody tell me what's going on / (what's going on) / We got human beings using humans for a bomb / But everyone wanna live / Don't nobody really want to die / You feeling me right / I can't be watching people die / (die) And watching people cry / Let me break it down for a minute / If there's enough room here for you and me / There's plenty of room for some humanity / Somebody tell me what's going on / (what's going on) / Somebody tell me / hat's going on / (what's going on) / Somebody tell me what's going on / (what's going on) / Somebody tell me what's going on / (what's going on) / Somebody tell me what's going on / (what's going on) / Somebody tell me what's going on / (what's going on) / Somebody tell me what's going on / (what's going on) / Somebody tell me what's going on / (what's going on)
