LAKIM SHABAZZ - Need Some Lovin' lyrics

rate me

Put negativity to a halt, it's not my fault that we're killin

And illin, that's why I'm takin my time and I'm spillin

My guts on a cut like this one

Make sure you don't miss none

Of the rhymes from the clean and crisp one

People of the planet Earth, man, it hurts to see

People livin in poverty, there's got to be a better way to live

We gotta learn to give more love, that's the only alternative

Just the other day I was speakin to my man Rob

And I said, "Yo Rob, what's up hops?"

He said, "Lak man, I just can't stand

And I don't understand the ignorance of a blackman

Too many crackheads, tackheads and bloodshed

Brothers and sisters are fightin instead of unitin

We need to cut it out, we're self-destructin

You know what we need, Lak?" "What Rob?" "We need more lovin"

(Gotta get some lovin)

We're self-destructin

That's why we gotta get more lovin

Love the fact that you're black if you are black

Beamin up to Scotty is wack, this ain't _Star Trek_

Be not weak but be strong and watch out for the attack

Of those that might try to hold ya back

I'm the type of guy that likes to spread peace

Not the type of guy that'll leave your head geased

You've been sleepin too long, you need your ( ? )

Wake up before you end up a dead sheep

Innocent till proven guilty, yeah, that makes sense

The blacks, we're guilty till we're proven innocent

To get where I got to my approach was different

Now you know why I'm so militant

I got a handful of love, yeah, take a crunch

But be positive, you come negative, you get punched

One bad apple don't spoil a whole bunch

We can make it - get my hunch?

Stop your snakeous mischievin, your lyin and thievin

And love the fact that you're alive and breathin

Love is the key, see, to unity, without it there's nothin

So let's all show a little more lovin

Break it down like this

Love could be the start of many things

We all know the sorrow and joy it brings

Set your goals in life and believe in your dreams

And maybe one day it might come true, yo, know what I mean?

Stop complainin, we need to crack down

I heard of Chinatown but never of Blacktown

By any means necessary I'm not havin it

Anymore we need our own establishments

People of the world, it's plain to see

We need to spread a little more l-o-v-e

Nothin in the world is gonna come to you free

So let's get work together and make money

Some of us are so blind we don't understand, see

We're jealous and envious and wonder why can't we

Live in unity as one big family

I show a lot of love for those that are down with me

And we'll hold on through thick and thin

Cause we're brothers and sisters, more than just friends

Destroy negative and build the positive

Do what you wanna do, that's your prerogative

Stick together, no matter the weather

Let no one stop ya, I'm sure you can prosper

We need to cut it out, we're self-destructin

Play ya part, open your heart and spread some lovin
