What's going on all over this whole wide world?
What's going on all over this whole wide world?

Calling there's an emergency and I'm only dialling cause it's necessary
Calling there's an emergency and I'm only dialling cause it's necessary

What is going on in addy planet Earth? Dat ah where we live it addy place of our birth
Madness and mayhem man the world is corrupt, like a volcano it soon will erupt

Look at the people in the streets, everywhere they don't seem like they care
And everyone is getting mad, it just seems like we've all lost the plot

Calling there's an emergency and I'm only dialling cause it's necessary
911 there's an emergency and I'm only calling cause it's necessary

These cities are on fire and the pandemonium's getting higher
All these cities are on fire and the pandemonium's getting higher
State of emergency, I'm gunner tell everyone

Check it out blood it ain't meant to be
The way they carry on man it's so crazy
When I think trouble is coming for me
I lay down in my bed and call the almighty
Now everybody can see hate is ugly and it's everywhere
You say you wanner be free
Yet everyday for the war you prepare
Calling there's an emergency and I'm only calling cause it's necessary
911 there's an emergency and I'm only calling cause it's necessary

These cities are on fire and the pandemonium's getting higher
All these cities are on fire and the pandemonium's getting higher

New York London Paris and Pill
Kingston Compton Birmingham Cape Hill
Moscow Bradford Brixton Amsterdam
Hamburg Detroit Karrabul Ely Milan
Basra Havana Rio Wolverhampton
San Paulo Sydney Osaka Lisbon Czechnya
Logos LA and Sudan Jerusalem
Gaza Strip Washington

State of emergency, I'm gunner tell everyone
There's a state of emergency I'm gunner tell everyone
These cities are on fire and the pandemonium's getting higher
All these places are on fire and the pandemonium's getting higher

We will always be, we will always be, we will always be together
We may never see, we may never see, we may never see it again
Red light!!!

This is an alarm stay where you are
State of emergency
This is an alarm don't go too far
State of urgency
This is not the end
State of urgency
This is not the end

We may never know, we may never know, we may never know what's ahead
If you believe it then you will see it it's in front of you, you know it's true
Red light!!

This is an alarm stay where you are
State of emergency
This is an alarm don't go too far
State of urgency
This is not the end
State of urgency
This is not the end

From the things we hate to the love we send what goes around comes around again
Standing on the starting line , make a wish and make it the time

It's just begun, it's just begun, it's just begun to matter
It won't be done, it won't be done, it won't be done until the time has come

This is an alarm stay where you are
State of emergency
This is an alarm don't go too far
State of urgency
This is not the end
State of urgency
This is not the end

California ain't a state it's a army!

(Verse 1)
One motherfucka n the projects killin'
The same motherfucker that would burn down the village
Where the chronic blunt full of that
You know, who gon' take you back to Compton In that 64 two door
Sub woofers in the trunk kickin' that lethal injection
A hood nigga lost with no direction
so he bought a black smith & wesson
strapped on his vest and that's his protection
At the intersection waitin' on a rival
cuz in the city of Angels it's all about survival
fuck the 5-0, They wanna see you DOA, welcome to L.A.
Where the ghetto birds flyin over my auntie's and my cousin's house
tell me what they buzzin bout
the little homie got smoked on the corner
And now his momma cryin', dead in califronia

(Chorus) 2x (Ice Cube & The Game)
Motherfuckers ain't gone learn
Till the chronic blunt don't burn
And you can't see nothin' but the ghetto bird light shinin
through the fuckin' palm trees
California ain't a state it's a army

(Verse 2)
Jumped in my impala took a trip to the swap meet
The scoop bought EGO trippin and a white T
Cus some niggas in my old hood don't like me
time to put they ass in check, like my Nike's
shoulda heard my my nigga Mack 10 on the chirp
All I need is me and my bitch
If you scared go to church
Cuz in Califorinia niggas crack heads for the turf
And life ain't nuthin but Tec-9's and dirt
Dippin through the the jungles, my Escalade hit a dip, fuck
Here come the gorillas in the mist
and they dressed like Ice Cube was in 96
Stone cold jherri curls and not one drip
I sleep with the worms before I swim with the fish
And I ride with my niggas before I roll wit a bitch
If it don't make dollars it don't make sense
And I almost got shot because I couldn't hit a fence

(Chorus) 2x (Ice Cube & The Game)

(Verse 3)
Call the U.S. government and tell em it's a motherfuckin code red
Niggas tried to straight up jack me and now they both dead
third little nigga got away on his mo-ped
caught him 'round the corner put the beam on his forehead
Jumped in the impala then smashed through the light
without a one time in sight
So I bust a right on Century headed to the L.A.X.
where there ain't nothin but fly bitches and jets
In and out of lanes and I almost wrecked
Off branagin in the 600 throwin up his set
he must don't know I got the 40 on deck
and the tec tryin be shit time to flex
it's the third this shit happened to me all day
guess it's time to add another dead body to doorway
So I turned down my Spice 1 tape and hit the switch
emptied the whole clip in his fuckin face

(Chorus) 2x (Ice Cube & The Game)

[Verse 1]

California ain't a state it's a army!

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
The 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 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

There's a movie playing in my head
Bombs falling and children crying
The Sunrise the sky turns Red
Load your guns tonight

There's a song playing down the hall
All alone there's an old man dying
I can't feel anything at all
Something isn't right

This is a state of emergency
I've been running from a tragedy
There's a battle raging in my head
And I don't want to be left for dead
This is a state of emergency
Don't want to be another casualty
There's a cemetery in my head
And I don't want to be left for dead

Left for dead

There's a world standing in my way
Father said that I best stop trying
Stand down it will be OK
You don't have to fight

There's a picture hanging on the wall
Of a memory that I'm denying
The sun sets and the angels fall
Something isn't right

This is a state of emergency
I've been running from a tragedy
There's a battle raging in my head
And I don't want to be left for dead
This is a state of emergency
Don't want to be another casualty
There's a cemetery in my head
And I don't want to be left for dead

No don't leave me here alone
I don't want to make this hell my home
I would rather die than sell my soul
I would rather lie than let you go

There's a voice screaming in my head
Telling me that I best stop crying
Stand up it will be OK
Load your guns tonight

This is a state of emergency
I've been running from a tragedy
There's a battle raging in my head
And I don't want to be left for dead
This is a state of emergency
Don't want to be another casualty
There's a cemetery in my head
And I don't want to be left for dead

State of Emergency
State of Emergency
State of Emergency
I don't wanna be left for dead
Left for Dead
Left for Dead

Welcome to the state of emergency
Telepathic pace stresses urgency
I use your head to make you feel intruded
Now no one's useful, and you're polluted

[Pre-Chorus]
What did you think when you entered?
How did you feel?
What did you think when you entered?
How did you feel?

[CHORUS]
Ignore the signs around you
So you don't have to leave
There's always room inside this State of Emergency

[spoken] Welcome to the state of emergency!

Welcome to the state of emergency
Realize the fate of this urgency
A manic journey puts you in my hands
How did you get here? You don't quite understand

[Pre-Chorus]

[CHORUS x2]

[BRIDGE]
Maybe you should have got directions
But now you're here and you know my intentions
Walls go up around your head
This ain't the place that you expected
And when all is said and done
The population will all be gone
I know you from your license plate
Don't forget your in my state
Of emergency

[CHORUS x2]

You're looking for something
But what could it be?
You look for a hero
Well don't look at me
You look for solutions
But there's none you can find
You believe in something
That's only in your mind
You're looking around you
But hate has made you blind
And you've spent the last ten years of your life
In this emergency

So please don't just sit there
Let's try to break out
From all the hatred
Suspicion and doubt
Try to change your life
That is no life at all
Try to break down the imaginary wall
And if you couldn't be bothered
Well then, my friend, you'll fall
And spend all the rest of your life
In this emergency

Jailed and beaten left to die political prisoners of apartheid youth of the
nation violently oppressed in the quest for freedom thousands dead
How can we let this be in their country they must be free when will
segration end when will the masses be free again
I can't concieve of this injustice I can't believe it's going on white man's
law is held supreme black man have no rights at all
How can we let this be in their country they must be free when will
segration end when will the masses be free again
In this age let's have harmony all people can be free this injustice must
now end the masses will be free again
How can we let this be in their country they must be free when will
segration end when will the masses be free again
