ZephyrSec

Jakarta (ZephyrSec) – Lagu “Where Is the Love?” oleh grup hip hop asal Amerika Serikat Black Eyed Peas diciptakan oleh William Adams (alias penyanyi rap will.i.am), Allan Pineda (alias penyanyi rap apl.de.ap), Jaime Gomez​​​​​​​ (alias penyanyi rap Taboo), bintang pop Justin Timberlake, Junior Curtis (gitar), Printz Board (kibor), Mike Fratantuono (bas) dan George Pajon Jr. (gitar).

Lagu yang debut rekaman sehubungan dengan serangan 11 September 2001 di New York itu dinyanyikan oleh will.i.am, Taboo dan apl.de.ap, Fergie, dan Justin Timberlake.

Timberlake meminjamkan vokalnya untuk lagu tersebut tetapi tidak muncul dalam video musik atau promosi lagunya saat pertama kali dirilis, karena saat itu ia fokus pada album solonya, “Justified”.

 

Lagu “Where Is the Love?” dirilis pada 16 Juni 2003 sebagai singel utama dari album ketiga Black Eyed Peas yang bertajuk “Elephunk” dan menjadi lagu yang melejitkan nama grup tersebut ke kancah internasional.

 

Pada 31 Agustus 2016, Timberlake berkolaborasi lagi dengan Black Eyed Peas untuk mendaur ulang lagu “Where Is the Love?” bersama dengan artis lain, seperti Usher, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, Sean “Diddy” Combs, dan masih banyak lagi.

 

Video musik untuk lagu yang dipromosikan dengan tagar WHERESTHELOVE pada 1 September 2016 untuk membantu keluarga korban kekerasan senjata, menampilkan Timberlake bernyanyi dengan artis-artis lainnya.

Lirik lagu “Where Is the Love?” sebagai berikut:

What’s wrong with the world, mama

People livin’ like they ain’t got no mamas

I think the whole world addicted to the drama

Only attracted to things that’ll bring you trauma

Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism

But we still got terrorists here livin’

In the USA, the big CIA

 

The Bloods 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 when you hate then you’re bound to get irate, yeah

Madness is what you demonstrate

​​​​​​​

And that’s exactly how anger works and operates

Now, 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, y’all

 

People killin’, people dyin’

Children hurt can you hear them cryin’?

Can you practice what you preach?

And would you turn the other cheek?

 

Father, Father, Father help us

Send us some guidance from above

‘Cause people got me, got me questionin’

Where is the love? (Love)

 

Where is the love? (The love)

Where is the love? (The love)

Where is the love?

The love, the love

 

It just ain’t the same, always unchanged

New days are strange, is the world insane?

If love and peace is so strong

Why are there pieces of love that don’t belong

Nations droppin’ bombs

​​​​​​​

Chemical gasses fillin’ lungs of little ones

With the ongoin’ sufferin’ as the youth die young

So ask yourself is the lovin’ really gone

So I can ask myself really what is goin’ wrong

In this world that we livin’ in people keep on givin’ in

Makin’ wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends

​​​​​​​

Not respectin’ each other, deny thy brother

A war is goin’ on but the reason’s undercover

The truth is kept secret, it’s swept under the rug

If you never know truth then you never know love

Where’s the love, y’all, come on (I don’t know)

Where’s the truth, y’all, come on (I don’t know)

Where’s the love, y’all (come on yeah)

 

People killin’, people dyin’

Children hurt and you hear them cryin’

Can you practice what you preach

And would you turn the other cheek

 

Father, Father, Father help us

Send us some guidance from above

‘Cause people got me, got me questionin’

Where is the love (Love)

 

Where is the love (the love)

Where is the love (the love)

Where is the love

The love, the love

 

I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder

As I’m gettin’ older, y’all, people gets 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, it’s the main criteria

​​​​​​​

Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria

Kids want to act like what they see in the cinema

Yo’, whatever happened to the values of humanity

Whatever happened to the fairness in equality

Instead in spreading love we’re spreading animosity

Lack of understanding, leading lives away from unity

​​​​​​​

That’s the reason why sometimes I’m feelin’ under

That’s the reason why sometimes I’m feelin’ down

There’s no wonder why sometimes I’m feelin’ under

Gotta keep my faith alive till love is found now ask yourself

 

Where is the love

 

Father, Father, Father help us

Send us some guidance from above

‘Cause people got me, got me questionin’

Where is the love (Love)

 

Sing with me, y’all

 

(One world one world)

We only got (one world one world)

That’s all we got (one world one world)

And somethings wrong with it (yeah)

And somethings wrong with it (yeah)

And somethings wrong with the w-w-world yeah

We only got (one world one world)

That’s all we got (one world one world)
