Now it's love, vs. hate Time for my people to eliminate That hate, let's love Because it's our people that we're thinking of Now they say we playa hatin cause we hate the black on black And the fact we can't stand when we act like that Self-hate killin us more than the po-po or crack I tell my peoples with the gats it ain't about all that We arrived on slave ships, tortured chained and whipped Four hundred years of bein slaves in the land of the brave Have we forgotten? our ancestors forced to pick cotton Women raped and tortured, murdered if they caught ya Niggaz swung from trees like a breeze do summer leaves Swayin back and forth, failed attempts to make it north Millions of people died just so that we can survive So this knowledge i provide cause these facts can't be denied Nowadays it's new ways, sixties it was the smack Eighties it was the crack, nineties it be the gat Time to recognize how uncivilized we got Get wise and unify and not fall victim to the plot Cause it's love, vs. hate Time for my people to eliminate That hate, let's love Because it's our people that we're thinking of It's love, vs. hate It's time for my people to eliminate That hate, let's love Because it's our people that we thinking of [lord jamar] Uh, when will we make our exodus? when will the guns Bust the other way instead of at the brother next to us? That's all that they expect from us, police stand by Don't believe the lie that they're the ones protectin us Projects, to see how poverty's affectin us Robberies, we lust objects of high quality Or so we think we slowly sink into the quicksand With no support, like a bike that doesn't have a kickstand We stay in court, smoke newport's, and fail to support Our seeds, with no thoughts for they needs We fought for the cheese and all it got us was a grave Or a bid as a slave, we live in the land of the brave Where the home isn't free, grown niggaz be In a zone, tryin to act out the tv We cracked out and greedy with a lack of respect It's time to come correct, it's time to come correct [grand puba] Cause it's love, vs. hate Time for my people to eliminate That hate, let's love Because it's my people that i'm thinking of It's love, vs. hate Time for my people to eliminate That hate, let's love Because it's our people that we thinking of [sadat x] Sally, been gettin beat for years Husband come home high off of weed and beers He frustrated cause his job is low rate Low money, plus his wife brother act kinda funny My nosey neighbor always makin it her labor To cause controversy, i seen them out in jersey The teacher say my son show aggression I tell her it's in our lesson, for him to know himself To me the greatest wealth is the best of health When the music stops, i'll play the role like my pops And his pops and so on i got a legacy to go on I'll watch out for my babies and i'll kill for em And if they wanna receive the knowledge Then i'll build for em Now if it's love vs. hate, then what's your fate? What we showin with the money we blown? Shit is still chaos, ain't a damn thing sewn [grand puba] Cause it's love, vs. hate Time for my people to eliminate That hate, let's love Because it's our people that we thinking of It's love, vs. hate Time for my people to eliminate That hate, let's love Because it's our people that we thinking of |
