One Luv
HOOK

One love feeds the fire
One heart burns desire
I wonder, who's cryin' now (x2)

Verse 1

Listen up can you please, I got a story to tell
Every day she's on her knee's, though she's lonely as hell
Wouldn't tell me her name, but I told her I'm Dale
In her eyes was a pain no one bothered to quail
So I asked for her story, "not much time, it would bore me"
Was her only reply, lady try and ignore me
Pretend I'm not here, speak to self if you fear
My reaction to what happened in ya' life I can't imagine
She never knew her dad, but she didn't seem sad
Instead she spoke of fam that seem more like a clan
Power to the people, keep the hood away from evil
Whole pack dressed in black for attack if they need to
It was a better day, it was a better time
I'm staring at her face, steady trying to read her mind
I follow if I may cause the feeling is I'm blind
Turn another page this is history defined (why?)
HOOK (x2)

Verse 2

Suddenly no sound and her smile is a frown
First word is "crack" and the second one is "down"
Once a proud panther's now a stray in the pound
Ain't just give a nigga pipe, made him trade it for his crown
File down his teeth and took away his speech
Flood the hood with guns and tighten up his leash
Guide his every move and lead him to his doom
Whether graves, or a cage, or a smoke filled room
Mommies never home on a chase for the rock
Leaving babies all alone to be raised by the block
Pushers, pimps and prostitutes
Seems to be the opportune to plot for loot
No matter how she feel she got to choose
Maybe she can spread her wings, maybe she can flee the scene
Maybe she can live the dream, maybe she can be all three
Maybe if she gives up right now, lye down
It will all fade away, tears is her eyes now (wow!)

HOOK (x2)

Verse 3
She's on to a new hustle, make it rain to a puddle
Push a product to the youth that really never knew her struggle
Make them act a way and say some things that they
Don't understand, but it's cool cause it comes with a dance
Pimp him to the system, just forget him he's a digit
Before you picket her existence
Take a listen, she's a victim
A prostitute as well, selling all her soul
For the diamonds and the gold
Eat the bread and the mold
Dreaming of her father's crown before they brought him down
I swear that she's about to drown, not another round
You used to hold us up, my lady sober up
Tell me how you pimping if you only hold the cup?
Who's taking all your change, banking off your fame?
Who made off your pain, ejaculated on your brain?
Raised one fist, gave my forehead a kiss
Would I rather this or she cease to exist? (shit)
