Love Is Love

How u left me like this so sad dad?
How can I be a good man in a world so mad dad?
Tried to do the right thing, kept getting the short end
Then I thought I’d find more meaning by recording
I poured it all, let it all out, on the drums
But the meaning stayed out of reach like walking on the sun
Melted icicle, people are so fickle
Make the most of all the opportunities that life gives you
Ain’t no telling where we go after this, mad theories from Muslims to the Buddhists
The Jewish and the Christians
Gurus and philosophers like Krishna but who really knows?
Unless you traveled thru that black hole
Unless you stared death in the eyes: and got yanked back
And caught a glimpse of the other side before ya ran back
It’s a doggie dog world, Snoop Dogg told u
When a dog eats a dog its dark that’s war for u
It’s zero-sum game if u win there’s more for you
If you lose it’s a wrap and ya plans all foil
They say: good timber never grows with ease
So the stronger the wind blows and the stronger the tree
I say the stronger the root and the stronger the leaves
That bear fruit that’s why I don’t waste and squander my seeds
I rather wait and give my all my queen
And I be tempted
To let another rent it, sandalwood scented
Harsh conditions like a Cameroon prison
The way I be going don’t seem like I’m a soon finish
I write to a tune that’s infinite here’s another page
Grateful to be alive and blessed to see another day
I’ll put it down the day, I’ll have nothing else to say
Often I share my art to ya in a selfish way
Cause it would torment me f’a didn’t let it out
Came to a fork in the road and chose a better route
Yo regardless of what, it’s love y’all
We fall down we get up, it’s love y’all
It’s bout the vibe u give up, its love y’all
It boils back down to us, it’s love y’all
Tackle life full speed no time for cold feet
Smoke a gold leaf and let my body heal like wolverine
A lot culture thieves sold u lot of dreams
Promoting memes selling u on what u gotta be
To fit society and kill ya individuality
That’s backwards like drinking alcohol to get sobriety and
I’m bringing back the meaning got you wondering
Like the last scene of Breaking Bad’s last season
Is it the end or the beginning? A giant loop
Wayne Dyer told us everything you need’s inside you
So when they try to shit on what you to do and minimize you?
Ridiculed for trying something new and criticize you?
Let em talk all that’s a projection of fear
They just mad at the reflection of themselves in the mirror
So at the end bottom line only the love counts
For ya survival like the hemoglobin's in ya blood count
They hunting us down with bloodhounds
Drones with face recognition
Tech alerting my defense mechanism
An existential threat to human kind
Divide conquer trynna put u in a place where u gotta choose a side
I don’t wanna hate my bro and sis, rather co-exist
Grow and build get together drink maybe blow a spliff
In this fast food planet, I write paragraph that last a lifetime I craft with understanding
Classic like Gordon Parks photograph
On Noah’s ark, this is vintage Bonaparte on phonograph
Yo regardless of what, it’s love y’all
We fall down we get up, it’s love y’all
It’s bout the vibe u give up, its love y’all
It boils back down to us, it’s love y’all
