Uhh..

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
No
Abandon Ship lyrics

I was there on the morning of the birth,
Waiting to catch the first breath,
And I have seen more than I would have chosen,
I was present at the first sign of the death.
Some would say you should have seen it coming,
The poison seas were tearing at the shore,
And our island home was invaded, not our own,
And we dug our trenches deeper, even more
Could I leave you, when I asked you,
Would 
wadays 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 d
Bed Of Roses lyrics

Long, long ago, where the tall grass grows
and the still air is sweet with summer flowers;
in the shade by the stream I would lie awake and dream,
and in dreaming I would while away the hours.

Long, long gone yesterday,
and the castle and the prince and the God to whom I prayed.
Well, I made, and I'm gonna lie in this bed of roses.
I'm tired of trying to be free.
Gonna lay down lik
oesn'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

Cause it's love, vs. hate
Time for my people to eliminate

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

He frustrated cause his job is low rate
Low money, plus his wife brother act kinda funny
Winter No.2 lyrics

On the first floor of the dryout house
Was a replica dartboard
And the man on the floor
Sorta went out of window, over the lawn
And round to the mad kid
"Please take this medallion,
Please wear this medallion.
It's no sign of authority.
Wear the gold and put it on"
Courtesy winter

So [around the] mad kid
Man on the first floor said
"I just looked round
I just looked round

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
