Real Love

Yeah!
Yeah yeah hhehheheh!
Yeah yeah uh heee yeah!

Gotta have love
Gotta have love
Gotta have love
Real love

When I was just a girl
My mama said to me
You can't fight hate with hate
You gotta love unselfishly
Love is not just a word
But a way of life you keep
You need to know
You're not here just to receive

Now that I'm older
Her advice I still take heed
For the power of his love
Lives in me

Ya gotta have love
Ya gotta have love on your mind
Ya gotta have love
Real love
Let your heart be your guide
It's gotta be real love
Feel so good in love
Gotta be real love
Or there's no sense in wasting your time

Didn't have to go far
To find myself
Cause he knows the real me
More than anyone else
I found a higher place
Who's voice I must obey
When I was a child
I heard the Word that say
Now abide in these
Hope and charity
And the greatest of these three
Has set me free

Ya gotta have love
Ya gotta have love on your mind
Ya gotta have love
Real love
Let your heart be your guide
It's gotta be real love
Feel so good in love
Gotta be real love
Or there's no sense in wasting your time
Gotta be unconditional love
Ya gotta be an example
Gotta have love
Love feels so good inside
It's gotta be a type of love
Or there's no sense in wasting your time
Yeah sing it girl
Ya gotta have love
Y.A
Check it out check it out check it out

We got to have love
Because we're gettin' beat on the street
And others meet defeat with no heat
And nothin' to eat
And when you're walking down the street
You gotta step with pep
Cause fools are mad enough to rob you
Just to get a rep
Is it me G
Or is it society
But I can't see why
We kill for notoriety
That's whack
We lack love for the black
In fact
Let's end the attack
So we can get the love

Gotta have love
Gotta have love on your mind
The man on the street with nothing to eat
Wants love
The daughter who doesn't know her father
Wants love
Gotta have love
Mothers and fathers
Sisters and brothers
Want love
Real love
Let your heart be your guide
Everybody I know
Even they want love
They want a love that's real
One they can feel
One that's deep inside
That they can no longer hide
It's gotta be real love
Gotta be love
Or there's no sense in wastin' yo time
