Give Love A Chance |
Why don’t we give love a chance? |
Why don’t we give love a chance? |
Yo let the brotha rap for a minute |
(All right) Let me get in it |
Got some things I want to speak about |
The topics gonna creep about |
Hey P, a young man around 20 |
Really he ain’t ballin', basically ain’t got no money |
There’s nobody on his side cause his love is the 1's and 2's |
Back and forth all night, makin' it right |
Now everybody in his cypher got something to say |
Ayo you need to quit scratching man that shit won’t pay |
And Pops kicked him out, put his tables on the street |
Just cause he wasn’t down with the ITT |
But he knew they’d catch the vapors, one day or another |
So he dropped his boy a breeze to take it down to his brother |
Now he coolin' with his brother but he buggin' 'bout the papes |
Ain’t trynna hit the little club on Wednesdays, and mixtapes |
That junk ain’t payin' no bills, who you tryin' to fool? |
So once again his jockey Joe Blow is on the move |
And now he’s house to house, sleeping on the floor |
With his jacket as a blanket, said he thinking bout before |
All he needed was his peeps to sit and watch him succeed |
Nobody blows up overnight, and every one of us need |
Some kind of push of support, without that, he sorta slipped |
Get to drinkin' and flippin', not thinkin' and always wishin' |
Yo I got a solution, it’s called Show me some love |
We all guilty of not doin' it, you can hear it above |
We should take the time |
Just sit back, rewind, unbind your mind from the grind |
Why don’t we give love a chance |
See what the world needs now is love, hope and support |
Greed gottem bleedin', teacher making money for sport |
And cash role models fall by little kids that love them swizz beats |
Shit, when I was young I watched Sesame Street |
To all you young B-boys keep doing your thing |
Don’t let them tell you otherwise cause you ain’t makin' no green |
'merican cash machine keeps rollin' with or without |
We got a subculture to save, and I’ll be damned if I shout |
Some shit over tracks that’s wack to make a fat stack of cheese |
Hip hop is my art, only myself I can please |
It doesn’t matter what you wanna be, focus and move ahead |
Make sure you do it for yourself and not off what some other said |
Cause when you go that way, it ain’t from the heart |
What we do is what we been doing from the start |
Ain’t makin' music for executives sitting behind the desk |
I tell them fools to eat a dick and bring it live to they chest |
Cause this is art that you created, you get paid with respect |
A little patience and pride, and with that you pose a threat |
Take a heed, young brotha, to the words I speak |
Unless you wanna see your promos lying there in the street |
Cause money is man-made and any time it can be gone |
Just kick back, spark one up and peek the words to this song |
When push comes to shove I rise above, sort of |
Keep my eyes, mind focused on the goal that is love |
So when fans give it I rip it, return it, earn respect |
See I’m in it for that, and not a fat paycheck |
On that, Cino you can quote Thes, cause I said it’s true |
Money doesn’t equal happiness, no matter who smiles and piles checks |
While I’m on the steps drinking Beck’s with my friends |
Piece and our forties cause we don’t got ends |
Memories like that to me are Los Angeles palm trees |
Life landmarks telling me the CD’s at ease |
Friends are worth Gs, enemies can sit in pawn shops |
I’mma worry about the riff and when the sunset stops |
Listen the simple pleasures and measures are always greater (what) |
Double K rippin' fat back apart our crossfaders |
Little girls laughin' and waitin' for ice cream trucks |
These images I wouldn’t trade for a million bucks |
So when chasin' the gold gets rough and says life sucks |
Remember the lining’s silver and that’s always good enough |
So when chasin' your gold gets rough and you lose steam |
Count your blessings my peoples, don’t be so mean |
