Need Some Lovin'

Put negativity to a halt, it's not my fault that we're killin And illin, that's why I'm takin my time and I'm spillin My guts on a cut like this one Make sure you don't miss none Of the rhymes from the clean and crisp one People of the planet Earth, man, it hurts to see People livin in poverty, there's got to be a better way to live We gotta learn to give more love, that's the only alternative Just the other day I was speakin to my man Rob And I said, "Yo Rob, what's up hops?" He said, "Lak man, I just can't stand And I don't understand the ignorance of a blackman Too many crackheads, tackheads and bloodshed Brothers and sisters are fightin instead of unitin We need to cut it out, we're self-destructin You know what we need, Lak?" "What Rob?" "We need more lovin" (Gotta get some lovin) We're self-destructin That's why we gotta get more lovin Love the fact that you're black if you are black Beamin up to Scotty is wack, this ain't Star Trek Be not weak but be strong and watch out for the attack Of those that might try to hold ya back I'm the type of guy that likes to spread peace Not the type of guy that'll leave your achy You've been sleeping too long, you need your bed reached Wake up before you end up a dead sheep Innocent till proven guilty, yeah, that makes sense The blacks, we're guilty till we're proven innocent To get where I got to my approach was different Now you know why I'm so militant I got a handful of love, yeah, take a crunch But be positive, you come negative, you get punched One bad apple don't spoil a whole bunch We can make it - get my hunch? Stop your snakeous mischievin, your lyin and thievin And love the fact that you're alive and breathin Love is the key, see, to unity, without it there's nothin So let's all show a little more lovin Break it down like this Love could be the start of many things We all know the sorrow and joy it brings Set your goals in life and believe in your dreams And maybe one day it might come true, yo, know what I mean? Stop complainin, we need to crack down I heard of Chinatown but never of Blacktown By any means necessary I'm not havin it Anymore we need our own establishments People of the world, it's plain to see We need to spread a little more l-o-v-e Nothin in the world is gonna come to you free So let's get work together and make money Some of us are so blind we don't understand, see We're jealous and envious and wonder why can't we Live in unity as one big family I show a lot of love for those that are down with me And we'll hold on through thick and thin Cause we're brothers and sisters, more than just friends Destroy negative and build the positive Do what you wanna do, that's your prerogative Stick together, no matter the weather Let no one stop ya, I'm sure you can prosper We need to cut it out, we're self-destructin Play ya part, open your heart and spread some lovin
