Gotta Lotta Love (Tubular Bells Dub) |
Woke up the other mornin, I heard a rumor |
They said the gang wars was over |
I told em they was bullshittin, they said it’s real as hell |
Can’t explain the way I felt |
Too many years I seen my brothers die |
And I can’t say that shit was really that fly |
But I used to gangbang when I was younger |
So it’s really hard to tell a kid that he’s goin under |
I never thought I lived to see us chill |
Crips and Bloods holdin hands, the shit is ill |
But I love it, I can’t help it |
Too much death on the streets, and we dealt it |
Van Ness Boys, The Hoovers, The 60s |
Bounty Hunters, 8-Treys, all coolin out, gee |
I pray the shit’ll never stop |
You used to see the wrong colors, and the gats went pop-pop |
But now the kids got a chance to live |
And the O.G.'s got something to give |
That’s love, black on black, that’s how they made it |
And if any busters flip, they get faded |
L.A. is where I’m speakin of |
Peace to all the gangsters, cause I got a lotta love |
I got a lotta love, cause you’re all my brothers |
Red or blue, black’s the color |
We got a chance, so we can really sweat the real fools |
Show those muthafuckas the real tools |
Check the enemy, it ain’t the family |
Not 1−11, try L.A.P.D |
They gotta understand, they beat on a blackman |
There’s gonna be drama, know what I’m sayin? |
And if we flip, let’s all flip together |
Cause I’m prepared, kid, for rough weather |
And we gotta realize, the boys on the east side |
You call em Eses, I call em allies |
Because the day that we all unite |
Watch the pigs get real polite |
Punk muthafuckas gotta learn quick |
That we ain’t takin no more shit |
L.A. is where I’m speakin of |
Peace to all the gangsters, cause I got a lotta love |
Crenshaw Boulevard, Sunday afternoon |
Folks sittin on things, mad systems boom |
The girls are lookin better |
The gang truce is on, so you wear whatever |
At Venice by the ocean |
Rag-top Trey hits the three-wheel motion |
There’s gangsters all around |
Still crazy sets, but you just don’t clown |
I pray L.A. can stay this way |
It’s the first summer I can really say |
I felt cool, we all chilled |
Went to the park, and nobody got killed |
Now if you got a problem, it’s man on man |
You don’t need a gang to solve em |
I seen the greatest thing I seen in my life |
Two brothers in a straight up fist fight |
Nobody pulled a gat, nobody jumped in |
Nobody pulled a knife, nobody got done in |
L.A. is where I’m speakin of |
Peace to my city, cause I got a lotta love |
G-a-t-e-s, I hope you wear a vest |
Even after you’re out the fuckin office |
Cause we’re on a totally different tip |
Fuck that pig brutality shit |
This unity is gettin to me |
Every brother on the street is my homie |
I’m rollin through a hood that I never been |
And every brother steps to me as a friend |
I love it, I love it |
And nothin in my life will ever be above it |
We wanna see our kids all grown up |
We’re tired of seein our hoods get blown up |
L.A. is a great place |
Fly girls, dope cars, life at a fast pace |
But gangbanging was killin it quick |
Another child got hit — bullshit |
Pop-pop-pop, 10 on a weekend |
We was goin off to deep end |
But now we got a chance, my friend |
To mend, and make the colors blend |
Let’s all go out on a picnic, kick shit |
And squash all the static |
Last year I lost about five homies |
This shit is real to me |
L.A. is where I’m speakin of |
Peace to all the gangsters, cause I got a lotta love |
Yo |

All over South Central |
