Damon:
Yo, Mom, who thought this could happen?

Dionne Warwick:
Nobody but me...

Ray J:
Love is what we need, so if you get that the blessing will proceed.  So please get back

Big Daddy Kane:
Comin' at ya, mob deep on this song, and now it's on.  Come together for born, better yet form Voltron.  Spread love like mustard.  Bust it, makin' knowledge be born, so trust it.  It's B.D.K., learn to love it.

Dionne Warwick:
What the world needs now is love sweet love

Flesh-n- Bone:
I know just exactly what world needs now.  Plead it, everybody come show a little love for your family.  Jesus, we need it.   And even when I flip through the pages of my history, slowly reveal the mystery.  Got to get it together quickly in this industry.

Dionne Warwick:
Lord, we don't need another mountain.  There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb.  There are oceans and rivers enough to cross, enough to last till the end of time .

Kurupt:
Yo, yo, yo . . . I could see far and beyond, me and my auntie, Dionne, with the homie Fazon, cool as freon.  As the music plays on, portrays and stays on, got this thing together, got to get our game together.  Life is life, and if your ears are open, you could see when you scope doors closed or open.  Whether you're in or you're out, you're always in, and that's for sure , and that's what friends are for [for what the world needs now . . .]

Dionne Warwick:
What the world needs now is love sweet love .
[What the world needs now . . .]

Dionne Warwick:
Lord, we don't need another meadow.  There are cornfields and wheat fields enough to grow.  There are sunbeams and monnbeams enough to shine.  Listen, Lord, if you want to know

Mic G:
Give me this drug.  They call it love.  I'd pump it off around the world to touch the soul of every man, woman, child, boy and girl.
Royal Flush:
I pray that we could live together on this family tree.  Royal Flush and Mic G, we want the world to see.

Big Daddy Kane:
What's happenin' is the matter when the people travelin' to grasp a pen and pad, and then this united gatherin'.  Keep it on the love, love if you expect the vibe.  Work it out just like an exercise, shama.

Dionne Warwick:
What the world needs now is love sweet love.
[what the world needs now . . .]
[Come on can we have unity, just a little bit of unity, brother.  Just a little bit , just a little bit of love, baby.] 

Coolio:
L is for the lies that they told, and the lines that they crossed when they burglarized the soul.  They cold .
O is for the outsiders lookin' in.  Times is lookin' grim.  You can't even trust your friends, damn.
V, 'cause it's very necessary that various policies get variated, eradicated.  I hate it.
E is for the extra mile you had to walk just to talk to your homie who was locin', and to show him you have love for him.

Dionne Warwick:
What the world needs now is love sweet love.
[what the world needs now . . .]
It's the only thing that there's just too little of . . .

Flesh-n-Bone:
We humbly gather together united with almighty power.  Ready to rumble at any hour.  Got love and it won't let me stumble.  Follow me.

Dionne Warwick:
What the world needs now is love sweet love.
[what the world needs now . . .]

Tyrese:
Can we get together.  I'm on my way, baby.  Come on get together, unity.
We can unify the hip-hop nation.
