Before listening1
The Central Intelligence Agency
(CIA) is an independent US
Government agency. They
provide national security
intelligence to senior US
policymakers. The CIA was
created in 1947.

The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) is the name of

several past and present secret militant
organizations in the United States. They
wanted to protect the rights and the
interests of white Americans.
The first Klan was founded in 1865 by
Tennessee veterans of the Confederate
Army. They used to wear iconic white
costumes consisting of robes, masks, and
conical hats, and their use of cross
burning were designed to intimidate the
targets of their hatred: African-
Americans.

The bloods and the crips are two gangs. They are notorious for being involved
in various acts of crime such as robberies, drug and murders. Both gangs
were originally composed of African Americans. The Crips are the oldest and
largest gang operating in the United States.
The gangs are identifiable by their colour that they wear The crisps are
associated with is blue. The blood gang on the other hand associates itself
with the colour red.

Where is the love (lyrics) by the Black Eyed Peas
What's wrong with the world mama?
People living like aint got no mamas
I think the whole worlds addicted to the drama
Only attracted to the things that bring you trauma
Overseas yeah we tryin to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin
In the USA the big CIA the Bloodz and the Crips
and the KKK
But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And if you hatin you're bound to get irate
Yeah madness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
You gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love y'all
(CHORUS)
People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can you practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father Father Father help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning
Where is the love?
(where is the lovex3)
(the love2x)
It just ain't the same all ways have changed
New days are strange is the world insane?
If love and peace so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong
Nations dropping bombs
Chemical gases filling lungs of little ones
With ongoing suffering
As the youth die young
So ask yourself is the loving really strong?
So I can ask myself really what is going wrong
With this world that we living in
People keep on giving in
Makin wrong decisions
Only visions of them livin and

Not respecting each other
Deny thy brother
The wars' going on but the reasons' undercover
The truth is kept secret
Swept under the rug
If you never know truth
Then you never know love
Where's the love y'all?(I don't know)
Where's the truth y'all?(I don't know)
Where's the love y'all?
(CHORUS)
I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm getting older y'all people get colder
Most of us only care about money makin
Selfishness got us followin the wrong direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting their young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what the see in the cinema
Whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness and equality
Instead of spreading love, we're spreading
anomosity
Lack of understanding, leading us away from
unity
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feeling
under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feeling
down
It's no wonder why sometimes I'm feeling
under
I gotta keep my faith alive, until love is found
People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can you practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father Father Father help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning
