See I want to get back to the love

Let's start love over come on

Let's start love over

Back to the way things were

Forget about them

'Cause all we got is us

We can make it

Sad if we try

I want to start love over

Let's make it do or die

When I was nine years old

I realized there was a road

At the end I would

Win lots of pots of gold

Days when I used to have

My play clothes on

I would make up my rhymes

The middle of Voltron

But you've learned what the herbs do

Breaking curfew

Hit the park when it's dark

Make it stand like a podium

N***as had a box and a strip of linoleum

Some break a boogie but those

That don't was usually a fighter

Rollin' easy riders

Sending people to the store

For a soda and a lighter

A real cool cat that would

Let you keep a dollar

But now things change

And it's the days of tomorrow

Little kids is big now

They'll push your wig now

Can't send them to the store

But you can send them for roll

And put them on my vine

And give them one big push

For all mankind

Let's start love over

Back to the way things were

Forget about them

'Cause all we got is us

We can make it

Sad if we try

I want to start love over

Let's make it do or die

People still taking rapping for a joke

A passing hope or a phrase with a rope

What ever happened to the caddies

White walls and spokes

Crates of records turntables

Plenty of folks

Remember playing in the streets

Touch football

Look y'all somebody get mad

And bounce with they football

Twenty four hour block parties

Everybody on the block pissing

You a dark hardy

Adults used to think

I was scheming

But I was dreaming to one day

Make a hot album

And have 'em all fiendin'

Now every time that I rhyme

I can tell that you like it

Be nursing the tunes

Like the mind of a psychic

Your mind is weary

Floating like a dove

Sweating and things

Like you were making love

Control the crowd

So they can accept it

Total concentration is the perfect method

Where's the love

Somebody tell me

Where's the love

Because we want to know

I remember everybody I loved everybody

It wasn't always player hating

There wasn't jealousy and all this envy

It was the love

Ayo hip hop set out in the park

What We used to do it out in the dark

All night long till the cops made us go

Or till somebody's moms

Pulled the extension cord

From the window

Lees on

Thinking you fresh trying to impress

Shorty with the baby hair

Pushed down on her forehead

Ponytail swaying she hot

Standing like she bull legged

But she not

You remember the days

That's when crack was affecting

Blacks like that

Just drink some Valentine Ale

Little reefer

Friday night

Go check out Star Child at the theater

That's all corrupt

Over rap you might get bust

Say the wrong thing

End up in a permanent sling

Went from shell tops to hollow tops

Used to rock the bus stop

Now we electric slide from the cops

Want some veterans in this

That ain't keeping it real

Now with God we chill

Over a record deal

Always the good ones to go

Never your enemies die

Till this day I wonder

Why they took my man B I

No time to yell rhymes

In the microphone

Take this more serious

Than just a poem

Rock party to party

While you're out the door

But tear it up yo

Let's start love over

Let's start love over

Back to the way things were

Forget about them

'Cause all we got is us

We can make it

Sad if we try

I want to start love over

Let's make it do or die

Where's the love

Somebody tell me

Where's the love

Because we want to know

Where's the love

Somebody tell me

Where's the love

Because we want to know
