Need more love, that's why I have to send it Know what it is when you really tryin' to be somethin' But in your minds you really can't find nothin' But am I wrong, if a preacher can't reach me? Or am I dumb 'cause a teacher can't teach me? I'm too black, for this world here to bleach me I'm too much hell, for this heaven here to keep me But you can beat me, slander me, cancel me But see I'm real so you still gotta answer me War, peace, c'mon Nappy Love, lust, now say it, roots War, peace, c'mon Nappy Love, lust, now say it, roots War, peace, c'mon Nappy Love, lust, now say it, roots War, peace, c'mon Nappy Love, lust, now say it, roots The thought of all destruction, man ain't nothin' gonna last I feel the pain and sufferin', the system done collapsed Wood is burnin', big construction's burnin', holdin' on a pa** Shattered gla** the aftermath, tragic d**h is on the trail Empty shells, the ghetto's extinct, there's heaven and there's hell Burnin' souls, the opposite of peace for seven million years Started livin' well, self-esteem, been lovin' with myself It's time for revolution, get yo' gauge and bullets off the shelf
