[Verse 1]
Whether it be across that sea
Kosovo, Baghdad, Korea
Or here at home, right under our fingertips
In new slavery prison systems
[Verse 2]
Holding one in four black American brothers
The one percent wealthy profiteering
From the business that is war
Yeah, go to war
[Chorus]
God is watching us play our ghetto wars
God is watching us play our games
God is waiting for us to overcome
God is waiting for us to just love one another
[Verse 3]
Whether we be cracker or black or brown, red, yellow
From the land of sky or sea
We are family
Wake up and see
[Verse 4]
Our planet is a tiny atom in God's kingdom
It's our only home
A new millennium
Can we all just get along?
[Chorus]
God is watching us play our ghetto wars
God is watching us play our games
God is waiting for us to overcome
God is waiting for us to just love one another
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
God is watching us play our ghetto wars
God is watching us play our games
God is waiting for us to overcome
God is waiting for us to just love one another
[Outro]
Just love one another
Just love one another
Just love one another
Just love one another
Just love one another
Just love one another
Just love one another
Just love one another
Just love one another
Just love one another
Whether it be across that sea
Kosovo, Baghdad, Korea
Or here at home, right under our fingertips
In new slavery prison systems
[Verse 2]
Holding one in four black American brothers
The one percent wealthy profiteering
From the business that is war
Yeah, go to war
[Chorus]
God is watching us play our ghetto wars
God is watching us play our games
God is waiting for us to overcome
God is waiting for us to just love one another
[Verse 3]
Whether we be cracker or black or brown, red, yellow
From the land of sky or sea
We are family
Wake up and see
[Verse 4]
Our planet is a tiny atom in God's kingdom

God is watching us play our ghetto wars
God is watching us play our games

God is waiting for us to just love one another
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
God is watching us play our ghetto wars
God is watching us play our games
God is waiting for us to overcome
God is waiting for us to just love one another
[Outro]
Just love one another
Just love one another
Just love one another
Just love one another
Just love one another
Just love one another
Just love one another
Just love one another
Just love one another
Just love one another
