Yo
Why'd everybody clown Rodney King when he that "Why can't we all get along" thing?
Man it makes perfect sense to me
But history tells us it just wasn't meant to be
And I agree with Jim Morrison
People are strange
And some of 'em are even worse, man, they're evil and deranged
They're usually the ones that control shit, whether-
From the podium or from the pole pits
Teaching us not to love but to be haters
Making war in the name of the cre-ator
Well if God's on both sides
Imagine if both sides taught that God said "Love both sides"
Yeah
I know it sounds nave
But I'm thankful for every single breath I breathe
And I don't want that taken away over some petty shit
We'd all benefit from more love
:
It's all love
Why can't it be love?
When push comes to shove I just wish that it was all love
It's all love
It's got to be love
When push comes to shove I just wish that it was all love
Verse 2:
But we glorify hate
As we move toward more fortified state
Where we send kids out to war to die great-
Ly misled by sentences intentionally misread
Technological advances are major
But we can't never get past human nature
Empty rhetoric, "Love thy neighbor"
Juxtaposed with that tough-guy behavior
And as we spread more fear
We see the the end of the tunnel light up ahead more clear
Yeah
And that's a true threat
'Cuz we ain't invented a weapon we ain't used yet
And on that-
Fateful day that the world ends
I hope I got a wife, or a girlfriend
And the last thing that I want to do is kiss her
And look her in the eye and tell her I'm going to miss her sweet love
:
It's such a sweet love
Why can't it be love?
When push comes to shove I just wish that it was all love
It's all love
It's got to be love
When push comes to shove I just wish that it was all love
Verse 3:
It makes the world turn
Makes a man want a woman and make a girl yearn for a boy
Or a man rather
And I don't have breaking news, I ain't Dan Rather
I'll be a grandfather
One day if I'm lucky
And Imma love them the way my grandparents loved me
And even though they're gone
You can see how it's passed down and the love lives on
And that's what I'm trying to focus on more
I guess that's why I wrote this song for
And even though he I can't speak for
I'm guessing that's why E made this beat for
'Cuz when people do what they love they unknowingly
Make every task involved become poetry
I'm done with the hate
I just want to laugh in the sun, have fun, and create more love
:
It's all love
Why can't it be love?
When push comes to shove I just wish that it was all love
Why can't it be love?
It's got to be love
When push comes to shove I just wish that it was all love
The world needs more love
Your girl needs more love
Yo, when push comes to shove i just wish that it was all love
Yo Big Wax got love
EOM got love
When push comes to shove I just wish that it was all love...
