Lil' Kim:
Uh uh uh uh
Everybody's Wanna Know Right Now!!
See I come from the streets
A world with racism and poverty
It's hard to make peace
Little girl with big dreams
You don't have to settle
We gone get out the ghetto
We fight but still things ain't right
Too many dying
Lord knows I keep trying
You don't know the pain I feel
I miss you B.I.G
Let's find a cure for A.I.D.S
Oh

Nas:
I can feel what was bothering Marvin
Why his words forever remain
Dealing with these modern day problems
'Cause of ignorance surrounding me and my constituents
Too many infected, too many lives diminishing
Nobody say Protestants, Jews, Blacks and Whites, Latinos and Asians
Pray together, less fight
We better unite
As genocide and chemical war
And the rich and the poor
Know that God delivers a cure

Lil' Mama:
It's a shame our reality is devestating
People praying for a cure, dying while they're waiting
Ask the Lord for the comfort and the strength to face it
All the kids with dreams won't get the chance to chase it
Makes me sad
Think about the lives they would've had
Think about the orphan babies got no moms and dads
How can we sit back and not try to make it right?
We gotta come together
We gotta fight for life

Nelly:
What's going on 'cross seas
Every minute a child dies by this disease
In record numbers indeed
Got momma's crying out please
My baby hold on
My child ain't done nothing wrong
Still I want to holler
Ask them why they don't bother
Oh no, oh no
Make me turn to my father
And ask him why they all got a trapped soul
