Sergio Mendes, will.i.am, Justin Timberlake, Pharoahe Monch - Loose Ends lyrics

Dear Mom alana's is in her second trimester
Stressed out, cos' I'm gone
She actin' all extra
But happy cause she knows it's a girl
But we're doubtful if we should bring
Another one in the world
The pics you sent with you and
The kids are the bomb
I'm keepin all my photos in my 23rd Psalm
My best friend Armani lost her
Arm at the border just tryin to restore a
Little peace and order, and it's
Strange because she reads the Qu'ran
Torn between what side she needs to be on
Haven't slept for days i squeeze Visine
Cause no man's eyes should see what I've seen
Soldiers lost their mind robbin', pillagin'
Tomahawk missiles in civilian villages
And they ease the pain with narcotics
I'm scared but I'm trying to remain patriotic

My Father
Forgive us cause we know not what we're doin'
And my brothers
How we gonna tie up all these loose ends?
And my mother
Tryin' to use that thing you taught
Me to keep it movin
And my brothers & sisters
How we gonna tie up all these loose ends?

New message from mom
At bring back the troops dot com
At home they comparing this situation to 'Nam
So sad you had to miss your mom's prom
She sung songs off the Marvin
Gaye Whats Going On album
And her smile lit up the room she asked me
"If at night would she stare to the moon?
Is it possible at the same moment in time
You're staring as well cause you
Too were in tune?"
Your dad's Purple Heart now
Hangs over his ashes
I dream he's alive and wake
Up with hot flashes
They claim that his disease was gastric
Have yet to explain the migraines and rashes
And have you seen what the price of gas is?
We can't afford the property taxes
We just want you back at home
Where you belong with your family
You're the backbone

Tell me how can we live this way
We've gon so far astray
No one knows what to say
We got young people's lives at stake
What is it gonna take for us to find our way

The world is changin' we in danger
Cause we ain't changin' our behavior
We behave like calm is nothing
Ain't concerned with repercussions
Ain't that something? Check 'em out now
Pointing fingers when they know how
We got to this point of terror
Precaution could have made the road clearer
But we stuck with mediocre leadership
So we'll just suffer
Who knows what the hell is going on
But conflicts they keep on growing
It's a - situation when you ain't got no
Education on the problem
Or know what it's about
You gotta help me out
