[Intro: Jackie Moore]

If it wasn't for this and wasn't for that it could be a better world yeah

If it wasn't for this and wasn't for that it could be a better world yeah

[Verse 1: Tom Wilson]

I hold the mic eagerly like a fat kid with a twinkie
Now everyone stand back and I'll crack it with my pinkie
I got a divine sense that doesn't even make sense
Until I break pens along with fake friends that make me hate them
But its an evil cycle and it never stops spinning
We all think we're making progress but we're still at the beginning an'
What we don't know is that every one of us are sinning
We just make up an excuse for it and all call it living
Well see that's what separates all the differences from you and me
I don't ever wanna see my pops readin' my eulogy
His son did not have to die over some fuckin' jewelry
I know the past is different but this concept is new to me
The odds of everyone understanding and coming to a change Is like livin' in Seattle but never seein' rain
Makin' 10 million a year but sayin' fuck the fame
Or hearin' the [?] but not feelin' the pain

[Hook: Jackie Moore & Tom Wilson]

If it wasn't for this and wasn't for that it could be a better world yeah (it could be a better world)

If it wasn't for this and wasn't for that it could be a better world yeah (it could be a better world)

[Verse 2: Tom Pepe]

I awoke to the sound of my life fallin' away
These days I'm lookin' out for shots planes and hurricanes
My fate rests in the clouds above
When I could crash any night when my driver is drunk so
Who gon' tell me that my ways aren't healthy
Every couple of seconds a kid's eyes needs helping
I'm sick of these bitches who blame it on George Bush
Yeah the dude is a problem but we're the buttons he push
If you took some time to think instead of watchin' TV
If you ain't makin' a difference then you might as well be me
Cause I preach for equality and act like that's enough
But support sweatshops just to rock some fresh dunks an'
I walk the globe steady lookin' for the truth
But the truth be hard to find like Iraqi nukes
So we all pledge allegiance for rape murder and massacre
While we blow up countries who be happily ever after us

[Hook: Jackie Moore & Tom Wilson]

If it wasn't for this and wasn't for that it could be a better world yeah (it could be a better world)

If it wasn't for this and wasn't for that it could be a better world yeah (it could be a better world)

[Verse 3: Jester]

Well I rest on the edge of the world confused
These motha' fuckas unaware of what it might do
Winnin' fights losin' life fools you couldn't take the pressure
From the depths to the tippity top poppy on the measure
In this cold world frozen feelings ice broken no healin'
I drink the pain away an' rap about the cap peelin'
I'm not violent but contradictions of silence
So shut the fuck up cause nobody is my tyrant
Hit me with a sack yeah that's what the devil said
Right after he cracked my angel's back and severed her head
Got no morals, I'm broke, plus most my friends I hate
Not to say I wouldn't kick it wit' 'em I'm even fake
Can't speak on the problems I'm too scared to solve 'em
And fuck askin' questions my hands up they don't call 'em
That's kinda sad I'll only mention it in rap
But I guess the truth is inappropriate so I laugh
Which is fucked up

[Hook: Jackie Moore & Tom Wilson]

If it wasn't for this and wasn't for that it could be a better world yeah (it could be a better world)

If it wasn't for this and wasn't for that it could be a better world yeah (it could be a better world)

[Outro: Jackie Moore]

This, that, it could be a (be a) better world

This, this, that world yeah
