Love & Power
(专辑: All Growed Up - 2012)
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 shooting 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 They left me fucked on the
rug, call it shag carpet I
guess the
love for power conquered all in my apartment And I
contemplate the
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 Get yo' love and power Yeah it keeps me every hour (it's yo' love for power baby) Get yo' love and power Yeah it keeps me every hour (it's your love for power baby, yeah) 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 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 Freemason, let Lucy out the
slammer Cause imma need a
brick layer to build the
crooked castle And I'll need an Angel waiting 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... Get yo' love and power Yeah it keeps me every hour (it's yo' love for power baby) Get yo' love and power Yeah it keeps me every hour (it's your love for power baby, yeah) 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 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... Get yo' love and power Yeah it keeps me every hour (it's yo' love for power baby) Get yo' love and power Yeah it keeps me every hour (it's your love for power baby, yeah) Mm, it's your love and power baby, yeah Baby, mm. It's your love for power baby
