lyrics

yeah, you know what it is
bad development
every thing we make takes violence
it's bad development

this is how we is
everything we build
we build it big
scream, we just living
what we took from the planet was god-given

whether a town or a city i call everything
bad development.
so bring it down from the slums to the kingdom cause it's
bad development.

it's bad development for the whole race
i'm getting scared of it but my bros aint
soon as you hit the club, check them bros face
cold stare at their beer or the T.V. screen
rage inside, my speech forming
but they so high they just go to sleep on it
still i gotta warn 'em, have to yell it,
it's important, talking bout the planet and the problem with it
nobody seem to wanna think on it,
my generation's definitely numb.
deaf and dumb, helen keller
no love for the schools that trained us wrong
i trust that the truth will wake us all

this is how we is
everything we build
we build it big
scream, we just living
what we took from the planet was god-given

whether a town or a city i call everything
bad development.
so bring it down from the slums to the kingdom cause it's
bad development.

i got a call from my lawyer, he said, yo, chill
you never talk bad bout at royalty, for real
but i ain't listening. i just speak slow
fuck development. i'd rather have my freedom, yo
that's what i think, so
i'ma tell the liars
we better stop before we die, you best check what the time is
now it's definite. we won't be old,
we party all the time: weak proles.

this is how we is
everything we build
we build it big
scream, we just living
what we took from the planet was god-given

whether a town or a city i call everything
bad development.
so bring it down from the slums to the kingdom cause it's
bad development.

civilization's unsustainable
and, man, we all live like slaves making payments to
big brother, read "1984," or "brave new world,"
and make war on the war-mongers
we're developing bad
we ain't have to go back in time
but we have to fight
that's real rap
i teach on my tracks 'cause ya need it
the problem with the world is the memes y'all are eating

this is how we is
everything we do
we do it big
scream, we just living
what we took from the planet was god-given

whether a town or a city i call everything
bad development.
so bring it down from the slums to the kingdom cause it's
bad development.
