Little Brother - Love Is lyrics
[Little Brother - Love Is lyrics]
Life is based on sacrifices
And I don't know about guys that's like us
We always felt that drove you crazy
The oldest son beatin' on the youngest baby
No intervention
So much work is what started the tension
Lack of attention for the details
I suppose, time rose that cross roads
Of learn and pass, we both failed set sail
And blaze trails on our way
The sticky fingers of my day
Gettin' my pay, my way
Independence leadin' to the highways
The bi-ways, via the closet storage
The only logic for adolescent youth
Smellin' my pit's denying the
Truth under your roof never
And so you lashed out kicked his ass out
He mashed out returned on the humble
We all stumble was the antidote
Till he chopped soap
It kept the glucose knockin'
At your front door we ain't front poor
We struggled through three kids, one mother
Minus three pop dukes
Lack of child support and money too
You made sure we never went hungry
As long as we in front of you
For three seasons you rocked the same coat
And spoke broke but found plenty at
The holiday season I guess
It's from you I get my
Structure and my reason
Moms I thank you for believin'
Now love is 12 hour shifts and sacrifice
And love is
Runnin' in back and switchin' the prices
Now run it down
Cause love is everything that you do
Now love is
Bouncin' checks to send me on school trips
And love is
Drawing retirement to get me a whip
Now run it down
And love is everything that you do
Yo, I was lookin' at a blank page
Tryin' to think of words to describe you
The pain we shared and the
Drama we survived through
The times you cried when you was lied to
Single handedly raisin' a son before
You graduated high school
The situation, kinda wild I presume
15 years old and had a child in the womb
And the whole town cuttin' eyes
And gettin' mad at you
But fuck all y'all niggas was your attitude
That's why the teachers used to frown at me
Because that same attitude you
Passed down to me cursin' in class
They called me a deviant kid
But stayin' after school cause wasn't shit
To eat at the crib
But, you kept believin' in me
That's why I give you mad props
Even when our front door got padlock
And I was outside feelin' like a have not
You taught me happiness
Regardless of the backdrop
And yo, I know I don't say it
Thanks for all the times you made
Sure my work was punctuated
Even though your income fluctuated
I still wonder how the fuck we made it
And that's why I'm singin' this
And love is
Keepin' my words and my grammar precise
And love is
After school, come home with no lights
Now run it down
Cause love is everything that you do
Now love is child support checks at the
First of the month and love is
Summertime goin' out for free lunch
Now run it down
And love is everything that you do
And I don't know about guys that's like us
We always felt that drove you crazy
The oldest son beatin' on the youngest baby
No intervention
So much work is what started the tension
Lack of attention for the details
I suppose, time rose that cross roads
Of learn and pass, we both failed set sail
And blaze trails on our way
