L.G. Wise - Just A Li'l Love lyrics

rate me

[Verse 1]

Just a 'lil love

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 killin 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 world 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

[Verse 2]

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]

[Verse 3]

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]
