| [**feat. Keri Hilson & MDMA**] | |
| [Verse 1: MDMA] | |
| Living in your shadow | |
| But yet the sun won't shine your way | |
| I can feel your sorrow | |
| It turns into your pain | |
| They say it's not in vain | |
| To the children of the corner | |
| Going hungry everyday | |
| When nobody asked to be here | |
| They just want to play | |
| It makes me want to say | |
| [Chorus:] | |
| La Di Da Da Da Da | |
| La Di Da Da Da Da | |
| La Di Da Da Da Da | |
| La Di Da Da Da | |
| Yeah I hate to see the whole world cry | |
| Yeah I hate to see the whole world cry | |
| If it was up to me | |
| I would wipe them from your eye | |
| I hate to see the world cry | |
| [Verse 2: Jah Cure] | |
| They spend up all our money (ay) | |
| All the rockets in the sky (whoa) | |
| When they don't have a reason | |
| That generate a lie | |
| For the strength that's from the time (ay) | |
| There's an ordinary city (yeah) | |
| From Compton to Mobay (whoa) | |
| When they don't ask to be here | |
| Since them fall away | |
| Makes them want to stay | |
| And I said | |
| [Chorus:] | |
| La Di Da Da Da Da | |
| La Di Da Da Da Da | |
| La Di Da Da Da | |
| And I hate to see the whole world cry | |
| Yeah I hate to see the whole world cry | |
| If it was up to me | |
| I would wipe them from your eye | |
| Hate to see the whole world cry | |
| [Verse 3: Keri Hilson] | |
| Looking in the mirror | |
| Sinking in my peace (oh) | |
| Everyday is a constant battle | |
| Between what's wrong and right | |
| I just want to live my life (oh) | |
| I pray it's for the future | |
| Is that we learn from our mistakes (oh yeah) | |
| Halfway into destruction | |
| But it's not too late | |
| Too late to make a change | |
| So I'll say | |
| [Chorus: Keri Hilson, Jah Cure, MDMA] | |
| La Di Da Da Da Da | |
| La Di Da Da Da Da | |
| La Di Da Da Da | |
| And I hate to see the whole world cry (hate to see the world cry) | |
| Yeah I Hate to see the whole world cry (hate to see the world cry) | |
| If it was up to me | |
| I would wipe them from your eyes | |
| I hate to see the whole world cry | |
| I don't want to see you cry | |
| I don't want to see you cry | |
| Somebody help me understand (help me understand) | |
| Everybody got a plan |
