[Wyclef (T.I.)]
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1,
We cry for peace (Uh huh)
But we live for war (You know I got that choppa in the chevy what it is)
We ain t start the wire taps down in Baltimore (But Im still slangin bricks where I live)
Sometimes she love me, sometimes she love me not (Doin 10 now my girl turning tricks at the crib)
But let check out his eyes, in the inner city Chi (Layin down ASAP, e erbody gettin killed)
Evil lurks in the heavenly disguise (Tryin to get to ruler all I need is about a mil)
I seen two birds crash into two New York giants (Bush still lyin, he don t never keep it real)
I wish Katrina spoke French at the quarter to New Orleans (Haha, but you d a told her that)
But how we smoke French back, seduced this stone (Okay)
told this is your death, please don t rain on my people

[Chorus]
Where d the hope go, Where d the hope (I don t know)
I see the whole world turn into a warzone (What?)
Ain t no love in the city keep your vest on (thats right)
Guns n roses welcome to the jungle
On the flip side (ay), she shakin her back side (Shake it for me)
That s the only way tuition gon come right
He got a crush on Mary Jane (Ay, Ay)
If you ain t got five on she ain t doing her thang (Come on, you know you need to)
Slow down, young girl
Keep it real hun, you gotta keep it real hun
Slow down somebody gon crash (Come on, you know you need to)
Slow down (You know you need ta, ay ay)
young girl (Okay)

[Wyclef (T.I.)]
If you livin in the street
You know your livin free (And if you ain t your doin time like me)
Thugs with the heat, are the coldest ones to meet (You can catch yourself a case get a fine do 3)
We flyin high, but still can t touch the sky (But on conspiracy your doing ten at the least)
Everbody s a gangsta, but no-body wanna die (With all this snitchin you might never see the streets
Nuclear testing, replacin the SAT s (With all this going on why they worried about me)
Stem cell research there s another you another me (I m just hustling in the streets tryin to flip a couple keys)
With what goes up, must come down, the laws of gravity (I know I seen it happen to my partner big neege, We miss ya shawty!)
To win at chess, you ve got to trap the king (Ay)

[Chorus]
Where d the hope go, Where d the hope (I don t know)
I see the whole world turn into a warzone (What?)

[T.I. (Wyclef)]
Hey I remember get money (Get money)
All we did was get money (Get money)
Til the feds raided the trap and they took my (Thang) from me
Put me in a room alone, separated the click form me (Click from me)
Next thing you know my lawyer said (My partner snitched on me) on me
Now ain t that a bitch homie, (They ain t have a thing on us)
Until you started telling now they talking big numbers
We could ve split charges up, against five or six summer (Summers)
Instead you tryin to talk telling so you could walk
How could you tell em who we sold told to?
E erthing we bought?
How we used to get in, all the way til we shipped it off?
(Who woulda thought?) Thought
Hey keep it pimpin, wait a minute (Whoa)
Ay keep it pimpin wait a minute, ay

[Wyclef (T.I.)]

Slow down, somebody gon crash (You know you need to)
