How beautiful love can be[00:00:22]
On the streets love is hard to see[00:00:23]
It's a place I got to be[00:00:27]
Loving you is loving me[00:00:29]
How beautiful love can be[00:00:32]
On the streets love is hard to see[00:00:34]
Gotta reach that frequency[00:00:37]
Loving you is loving me[00:00:40]
Yeah you know what love is[00:00:42]
Even found it on the ground where the thugs live[00:00:44]
My man had to dig deep to find his[00:00:47]
Couldn't sleep 'cause on the real he had five kids[00:00:49]
Live nig's real niggaz express and taste it[00:00:53]
At crap games black dames and big faces[00:00:55]
Cases in court fam' showin' love and support[00:00:58]
You and your baby's mom thought that love was a sport[00:01:01]
As men we were taught to hold it in[00:01:04]
That's why we don't know how 'til we're older men[00:01:06]
If love is a place I'm a go again[00:01:09]
At least now now I know to go within[00:01:11]
At time it can take ya for a spin[00:01:14]
Heartbreak hotel then you're home again[00:01:17]
I've seen love make a n**a soul pretend[00:01:19]
Like a story that he don't want to end[00:01:22]
Yo[00:01:25]
How beautiful love can be[00:01:25]
On the streets love is hard to see[00:01:27]
It's a place I got to be[00:01:31]
Loving you is loving me[00:01:33]
How beautiful love can be[00:01:36]
On the streets love is hard to see[00:01:38]
Gotta reach that frequency[00:01:41]
Loving you is loving me[00:01:44]
It's all love where we come from[00:01:46]
In the hood love we was told to run from[00:01:48]
That same hood where the guns sung[00:01:51]
We holla love hopin' it would come one[00:01:53]
Crack got so many lives undone[00:01:56]
From lack of love many hide some run[00:01:58]
I knew this girl with a son[00:02:02]
Who dreamt of actin' in plays[00:02:03]
Demonstration with her man had her trapped in a maze[00:02:05]
Tryin' to find herself again much of that[00:02:07]
She'd have gave[00:02:09]
Love can free us to it some of us[00:02:10]
React as a slave[00:02:12]
Funny we love 'em more when they're relaxed in a grave[00:02:13]
Wonder if a thug is raw is he actin' afraid[00:02:15]
Everybody loves sun why do I attract shade[00:02:18]
Heard of the love of money but compassion it pays[00:02:21]
Talk about it with my youth so she'd understand[00:02:23]
What it is to be loved by a man[00:02:26]
Uh[00:02:28]
How beautiful love can be[00:02:29]
On the streets love is hard to see[00:02:31]
It's a place I got to be[00:02:34]
Loving you is loving me[00:02:37]
How beautiful love can be[00:02:40]
On the streets love is hard to see[00:02:42]
Gotta reach that frequency[00:02:45]
Loving you is loving me[00:02:48]
Some say that I'm a dreamer 'cause I talk about it often[00:02:50]
Seen the hardest n**a soften wit' his homie in a coffin[00:02:53]
We walk and stand in fall in it[00:02:56]
With the right companion we all in it[00:02:58]
Mary sang a song about it having broad limits[00:03:01]
In the game of life it's the scrimage[00:03:03]
Reminiscing on letters I wrote in my small days[00:03:06]
A letter to the people love always[00:03:09]
Yeah[00:03:11]
How beautiful love can be[00:03:12]
On the streets love is hard to see[00:03:14]
It's a place I got to be[00:03:17]
Loving you is loving me[00:03:20]
How beautiful love can be[00:03:22]
On the streets love is hard to see[00:03:24]
Gotta reach that frequency[00:03:28]
Loving you is loving me[00:03:30]
