The Challenge

[Verse 1]
Your man sound took it, 'ginia ceasar
He has made up the world a neighborhood
But now, say I dare you, yes I do
To make a better brotherhood
You fill bases around the world (Ooh, child child)
Equip with ballistic missiles (Ooh, child child)
But I dare you to show me one you built (Ooh, child child)
Our own genuine principle (Ooh, child child)

[Chorus]
That's why I challenge you today, I challenge you today
I challenge you, bridge the gap between us

[Verse 2]
You've cured the uncurable (Ooh, child child)
I heard about you transplantin' hearts today (Ooh, child child)
But I dare you to show me one heart (Ooh, child child)
That you've tried to cure of hate
You've broke into the unknown, yeah (Ooh, child child)
At an unimaginable speed (Ooh, child child)
But I dare you to probe into the lives (Ooh, child child)
Of the people in poverty

[Chorus]
I challenge you today, I challenge you today
I challenge you to bridge the gap between us
Ooh, I challenge you today, I challenge you today
I challenge you to bridge the gap between us
With what you can do

[Verse 3]
You've broke into the unknown
Oh yes you have (Ooh, ooh)
At an unimaginable speed (Ooh, ooh)
But I dare you to probe into the lives, yeah (Ooh, ooh)
Of the people in poverty, I dare you to do it (Ooh, ooh)
Dare you to do it (Bet you can't do it)
Challengin' you (Don't believe if you do)
And I'm challengin' you (Bet you can't do it)
Challengin' you (Don't believe if you do)
I bet you can't do it (Bet you can't do it)
Will you try a little love (Don't believe if you do)
I bet you can't do it (Bet you can't do it)
I dare you to try it (Don't believe if you do)
Tell me, dare you to try it (Tell me dare you to try it)
Bet you can't do it (Don't believe if you do)
We live in the ghetto (Bet you can't do it)
I bet you won't try it (Bet you can't do it)

[Outro]
Bet you won't do it (Bet you can't do it)
Tell me dare to try it (Bet you can't do it)
Oh yeah (Bet you can't do it)
