Love Vs. Hate - Brand Nubian[00:00:00]
Written by:L. Dechalus/W. Dixon/R. Hall/D. Murphy[00:00:00]
Uh[00:00:11]
Now it's love vs hate[00:00:22]
Time for my people to eliminate[00:00:26]
That hate let's love[00:00:28]
Because it's our people that we're thinking of[00:00:31]
Now they say we playa hating cause we hate the black on black[00:00:34]
And the fact we can't stand when we act like that[00:00:37]
Self hate killing us more than the po po or crack[00:00:40]
I tell my peoples with the gats it ain't about all that[00:00:42]
We arrived on slave ships tortured chained and whipped[00:00:45]
Four hundred years of being slaves in the land of the brave[00:00:48]
Have we forgotten our ancestors forced to pick cotton[00:00:51]
Women raped and tortured murdered if they caught ya[00:00:54]
Niggaz swung from trees like a breeze do summer leaves[00:00:57]
Swaying back and forth failed attempts to make it north[00:01:00]
Millions of people died just so that we can survive[00:01:03]
So this knowledge I provide cause these facts can't be denied[00:01:05]
Nowadays it's new ways sixties it was the smack[00:01:08]
Eighties it was the crack nineties it be the gat[00:01:11]
Time to recognize how uncivilized we got[00:01:14]
Get wise and unify and not fall victim to the plot[00:01:17]
Cause it's love vs hate[00:01:20]
Time for my people to eliminate[00:01:23]
That hate let's love[00:01:25]
Because it's our people that we're thinking of[00:01:28]
It's love vs hate[00:01:31]
It's time for my people to eliminate[00:01:34]
That hate let's love[00:01:37]
Because it's our people that we thinking of[00:01:40]
Uh when will we make our exodus when will the guns[00:01:43]
Bust the other way instead of at the brother next to us[00:01:46]
That's all that they expect from us police stand by[00:01:49]
Don't believe the lie that they're the ones protecting us[00:01:52]
Projects to see how poverty's affecting us[00:01:54]
Robberies we lust objects of high quality[00:01:57]
Or so we think we slowly sink into the quicksand[00:02:00]
With no support like a bike that doesn't have a kickstand[00:02:03]
We stay in court smoke Newport's and fail to support[00:02:06]
Our seeds with no thoughts for they needs[00:02:09]
We fought for the cheese and all it got us was a grave[00:02:11]
Or a bid as a slave we live in the land of the brave[00:02:14]
Where the home isn't free grown niggaz be[00:02:18]
In a zone trying to act out the TV[00:02:21]
We cracked out and greedy with a lack of respect[00:02:23]
It's time to come correct it's time to come correct[00:02:25]
Cause it's love vs hate[00:02:28]
Time for my people to eliminate[00:02:31]
That hate let's love[00:02:34]
Because it's my people that I'm thinking of[00:02:37]
It's love vs hate[00:02:40]
Time for my people to eliminate[00:02:43]
That hate let's love[00:02:45]
Because it's our people that we thinking of[00:02:48]
Sally been getting beat for years[00:02:52]
Husband come home high off of weed and beers[00:02:54]
He frustrated cause his job is low rate[00:02:57]
Low money plus his wife brother act kinda funny[00:03:00]
My nosey neighbor always making it her labor[00:03:03]
To cause controversy I seen them out in jersey[00:03:06]
The teacher say my son show aggression[00:03:09]
I tell her it's in our lesson for him to know himself[00:03:11]
To me the greatest wealth is the best of health[00:03:14]
When the music stops I'll play the role like my pops[00:03:17]
And his pops and so on I got a legacy to go on[00:03:20]
I'll watch out for my babies and I'll kill for 'em[00:03:23]
And if they wanna receive the knowledge[00:03:25]
Then I'll build for 'em[00:03:27]
Now if it's love vs hate then what's your fate[00:03:28]
What we showing with the money we blown[00:03:31]
Shit is still chaos ain't a damn thing sewn[00:03:33]
Cause it's love vs hate[00:03:37]
Time for my people to eliminate[00:03:40]
That hate let's love[00:03:43]
Because it's our people that we thinking of[00:03:46]
It's love vs hate[00:03:48]
Time for my people to eliminate[00:03:51]
That hate let's love[00:03:54]
Because it's our people that we thinking of[00:03:57]
