The world today is a mess What you do, what you say Has a lot to do with how you live today And what you want, and what you make Everybody knows it's only what you take What you see and what you hear When it comes around again it's not so clear You say yes and they say no Everybody's talking everywhere you go You try to give another man a helping hand He will take your kindness for a weaker stand Never do to others what they do to you Try to find another way to make it through What I say is what I know Try to get a favour going to door to door Stop and pray, it's out of style To get a step ahead, it takes a hundred miles What I say is what I know Try to get a favour going to door to door Stop and pray, it's out of style To get a step ahead, it takes a hundred miles You try to give another man a helping hand He will take your kindness for a weaker stand Never do to others what they do to you You'd better do it to them before they do it to you Freestyle is dedicated to the people of the world What you do and what you say Has a lot to do with how you live today And what you want, and what you make Everybody knows it's only what you take What you see is what you hear When it comes around again it's not so clear You say yes and they say no Everybody's talking everywhere you go You try to give another man a helping hand He will take your kindness for a weaker stand Never do to others what they do to you You'd better do it to them before they do it to you
