[Verse 1]
The politics, the politics, been crazy
I swear the television's trying to kill my baby
This crazy guy is holding drivers crazy
Autumn mansion's really kinda scary
Now he said, "Why you acting like you'll live forever?"
You've got to cherish any time you get together
The world can change its way, it must stay changing
But everytime I pray, I hear the same thing
[Chorus]
Put down your sword, take less, and give more
Love your brother, sister, like before
Make love, and not war
Make love, and not war
Not war, not war
Not war, not war, not war
Love your brother, sister, like before
Make love, and not war
Make love, and not war
Not war, not war
Not war, not war
[Verse 2]
I know that disrespect can get your blood to boiling
But keep in my mind that violence is a poison
Raise your hand up, baby you’re anointed
You are loved and needed so important
Now what a shame, bullies left in charge now
Intimidation always trying to bring my heart down
But no matter how much gravity the rain brings
Every time I pray I hear the same thing
[Chorus]
Put down your sword, take less, and give more
Love your brother, sister, like before
Make love, and not war
Make love, and not war
Not war, not war
Not war, not war, not war
Love your brother, sister, like before
Make love, and not war
Make love, and not war
Not war, not war
Not war, not war
[Verse 3]
Every time I use my third eye, message is the same
We all have an equal part and choice to love or hate
But humans have a tendency to fear and aggravate
Find your truest power when you meditate
But when you find it hold on tight and you shall elevate
Love is needed more than ever do not hesitate
Mother needs some life support we cannot be late
Love is needed more than ever do not hesitate
Now ego is the friendliest of your frenemies
Be careful or he’ll rob you of all your energy
Power struggles will forever be a waste of time
What’s yours is yours, what’s God’s is God’s, cannot be mine
What’s yours is yours, what’s God’s is God’s, cannot be mine
What’s yours is yours, what’s God’s is God’s, cannot be mine
[Outro]
So put down your sword, take less and give more
Love your sister, brother like before
Make love. not war
