Love  Power
[Verse 1]
Off of surrey’s at my crib like I’m bringing home the bacon, blunt in the ash tray, cashed like a payment. Television on but I can’t make out what the station is, I’ll be 23 soon on my Chicago bullshit. I’ll be shootin' as I fade away, tony did. I wonder how I stayed smart through all the craziness. Got wasted, never hung over no ray of lean, always acting straight when the younger genes were flailing

[Verse 2]
They left me fucked on the rug, call it shag carpet, I guess the love for power conquerеd all in my apartment. And I contemplate thе reason to keep coming back, I guess I found the power of love conquers all of that. Mr. Mac, married to the business of it, and if it is the victory then I’m her husband. Time heals all but doesn’t last forever, so when they ask me if it hurts I wish I could just let em know

[Chorus]
Get yo’ love and power, and it keeps me every hour (it’s yo’ love for power baby). Get yo’ love and power, and it keeps me every hour (it’s your love for power baby, yeah)

[Verse 3]
Undercover union, out front in that gray Ford, pigs think they fly, but this ain’t Pink Floyd. We just spark another one and let the drinks pour. Talk about gettin me from here into New York

[Verse 4]
I took a detour, more like a wrong turn. It was a long trip, Beatles concert. I have a dream but so did Martin Luther King and my dude JFK, but they got the same thing, free mason, let Lucy out the slammer, cause imma need a brick layer to build the crooked castle, and I’ll need an Angel waitin’ on me in the shower, so I can tell her why I’m done with god and she can let him know. Angel dust on the counter, Devil in the kitchen, love is a drug and it got me power tripping. I feel the flame like oh man, word to my mama, I won’t ever let it show that...

[Chorus]
Get yo’ love and power, and it keeps me every hour (it’s yo’ love for power baby). Get yo’ love and power, and it keeps me every hour (it’s your love for power baby, yeah)

[Verse 5]
Half a swisher sweet, burning in the empty glass. I got a lint brush to get the fuzz off my ass, hoe. The last 22 is like a crash course, call it bad decisions or the power of the cash or whatever you call it for the people that ask for explanations, if you owe them some and if you don't then know when to hold your tongue cause love and power hard to talk about when you this young
[Verse 6]
Love before power, love out (errrt), stop, I don't wanna break another heart, even if I had mine broken once or twice I wouldn't wish it on my worst cause I know it isn't nice, nah. Eyes illuminated when they turn the lights down. Pussy, power, politics, the pyramid for right now, I still don't even know if it's them or if it's me man, and I struggle with myself to believe that...

[Chorus]
Get yo’ love and power, and it keeps me every hour (it’s yo’ love for power baby). Get yo’ love and power, and it keeps me every hour (it’s your love for power baby, yeah)

[Outro]
Mm, it's your love and power baby, yeah. Baby, mm. It's your love for power baby
