Oh the world's situation
Should be rated X, oh rated X
Said the world's situation
Should be rated X, yeah rated X

Listen people, let only in the movie show
Take a look outside, I swear the truth is really told
It's life in living color, fighting, killing
And dope dealing, it's everywhere

What about the crime, rated X
What about the killing
Fighting, stealing everywhere
They let the children see life destroyed
But they won't let them see its making
What happened to god's creations

The one thing that really bothers me the most
Is how we come and take the lives of the fold
The world today is in a grave situation
Dirty water we can't drink
Dirty air, it's so unfair
I know something's missing
All over the world

Oo, rated X
Oo, rated X
Oo, rated X

I know something's missing
All over the world
The world's situation
Should be rated X, rated X
The world's situation
Should be rated X, rated X

What about the crime, rated X
What about the air, rated X
What about the killing, fighting
Stealing everywhere
They let the children see life destroyed
But they won't let them see its making
What happened to god's creations
Where're the love, where's the peace
Where's the joy, where's the woe for us all
Love is kneelin', rated X
Hate is overweight, rated X
