One Love

Just one One love yeah One love yeah One love yeah One love yeah Now from the little Rock nine To the Jena six We came a long way Tell me are we there yet (nope) From Hip Hop on the block In the red sweats We graduated overseas In them Leer Jets This generation got on occupation Inspiration Cause segregation was the Father of misinformation They brought back the nation to it's knees When some brave souls Stood and rolled Interlocked elbows And they screamed no more John Kennedy the President to grassroot workers Hollywood to the stage To the fast food workers And every now and then They pull us down again but it's cool Cause every forty plus years One love get through (c'mon) CHORUS I got you got We got to have one love Or else it's all a lie We gotta have it (One love one love) I got you got We got to have one love Or else it's all a lie We gotta have it (One love one love) I want to believe But nowadays it's so hard And I'm really trying to see But my faith it lives in me It lives in you It lives in me It lives in everybody can't you see That we're all one We came undone How'd we become this way? CHORUS I got you got We got to have one love Or else it's all a lie We gotta have it (One love one love) I got you got We got to have one love Or else it's all a lie We gotta have it (One love one love) The same bullet That assassinated Martin the King Killed Sean Bell Killed Bobby Kennedy's dream Turned friends into enemies The wickedest theme Atrocious vultures approach us With intent to bleed And every now and then They bring us down again but it's cool Cause every 40 plus years One love get through And all the ignorance And hatred in the ice just melt And for the first time in years The truth get felt And from the streets To the burbs to the west and east Our generation got nerve Ima speak my peace It's either time for a change Or they died in vain One love's the religion One bloods the same CHORUS I got you got We got to have one love Or else it's all a lie We gotta have it (One love one love) I got you got We got to have one love Or else it's all a lie We gotta have it (One love one love) Spirit come on down say Spirit bring peace all around Bring your peace yeah Peace all around Bring your peace (One love) (One love) I got we got to got to get One love I got we got to get it I got we got to got to get One love I got we got to get it I got we got to got to get One love I got we got to get it I got we got to got to get One love I got we got to get it One love yeah One love yeah One love yeah One love yeah
