State Of Emergency (Explicit Album Version)-The Game/Ice Cube

State Of Emergency - The Game We used to think that our ignorance is bliss But we can't keep on thinking That this moment doesn't exist There's people fighting and fighting and fighting For all that they own It seems we twisted reality again Looking for the opportunity for us to dig in We're getting deeper and deeper and deeper Into the unknown (We've got to open up our eyes) How long will we close our eyes to the youth? How long until we recognize the truth? How far will we let this go? It's a state of emergency It's time we see There's a need to take action This is a state of emergency We're too blind to see All of these simple distractions All our attention is directed to the mirror We want to forget that people live in terror We're their only way out and the time is right now We gotta grab a hold of this moment How long will we close our eyes to the youth? How long until we recognize the truth? How far will we let this go? It's a state of emergency It's time we see There's a need to take action This is a state of emergency We're too blind to see All of these simple distractions It's a state of emergency It's time we see There's a need to take action This is a state of emergency We're too blind to see All of these simple distractions How far do we let it go Before we all take control We are the hands, we are the feet So we gotta go Stop waiting for someone else To take control (Take back the control) We could be their last hope It's a state of emergency It's time we see There's a need to take action This is a state of emergency We're too blind to see All of these simple distractions It's a state of emergency It's time we see There's a need to take action This is a state of emergency We're too blind to see All of these simple distractions
