L.g. Wise - Just A Lil Love lyrics
Take the time and come follow me, and thru this dream And while i'm rollin' thru these neighborhoods see babies scream And mommas fiend, Yo, it's like they on the wrong team How many people close they eyes to this american dream I look my children in they eyes and I wipe their tears Now don't you fear, 'cuz daddy's gonna be right here And every river you gotta cross I'll be right there And every paain you gotta feel, you know I'll always care How many young gotta go to prison, behind the k**in and dealin' Not even carin' how these mothers feelin' I know you on the swell, I know you lookin' well But on the inside, just a lil kid that's locked behind a cell And oh well, I never had a father there to lead 'em, but to leave 'em And they greavin' and they barely breathin' No reason to even try y'all to look for love You got dealt such a bad hand to be a thug Chorus Oh, what the worl needs is love And all the homies stuck in prison What we need is a lil love, that's what we missin' Oh, what the world needs is love, is love, we need a lil love Never seen my pops, unless i seen him in me Somebody please help me explain all this misery I'm hangin' out with these older cats and I'm payin' my dues Actin' a fool up in the streets, I'm packin' this gat and these tools And thinkin' its cool to sellin dope and never goin to school But I'm a fool, I listened to them when it should have been you What kind of drama cause a momma turn her back on her kids She said I said I'll be back, but she never did I used to scream nobody love me I fell in love with the streets when thugs they huged me Know what I'm sayin', Instead of the nights fallin asleep I fell in love with the streets, would have died as a thug hadn't been for your love No mommas and daddys and all these homies stuck in prison What we need is a lil ove, that's what we missin' No mommas and daddys and all these homies stuck in prison What we need is a lil love that's what we missin' Chorus And just like Jah, He never knew his daddy And just like me I never knew my daddy And while I'm ridin' with these older homies drivin' caddies And now we cryin' wonder why my daddy had to have me You can relate, but now we made it thru But it wasn't easy you see, but can't forget the ones who died Wasn't as fortunate as me But now that crack flood the streets, nobody know how it came Nobody wanna tell the truth, that's why we goin' insane Project homes are steady broken, daddys out smokin' Watchin' babies lyin' dead in the casket, it ain't no joke And how we gonna make it without these daddies and mommas That's why we lost up in this world, crazy facin' this drama Most of the fathers 20 years ago they had your back Alot of fathers in this day and time they hooked on crack All we need is a lil love to change all that I know it hurts to tell the truth, but gotta face the facts Chorus
