[Hook x2]
I Need a bit of love
Need a little trust
Need some love
Lotta love right now
There's been pain from the start
Lotta pain in my heart
Need to change but I don't know how
[Verse 1]
R.I.P. to Nathan sadly he was taken by an officer
Who got the word that something had been taken
By a darker male the only way that they depict him
Came up to Nate to accusate cuz he fit a description
"No, no sir, I got my receipt right here"
Reached in his pocket, "That's a gun!" Cops let six shots flare
Down goes Nate, wrong place at the wrong time
Whole thing caught on tape but the cop never did time
R.I.P. Officer Mason it's so sad that he was taken
His family loved him known to do his job amazing
'til a n***a who was fed up grabbed his nine and was waiting
To shoot at the first sign of a badge and a man who was caucasian
Damn when did we get like this
Seems like everyday we a few more names to the list
The innocent don't stay alive
The children are desensitized
To be honest I'm scared that I'm the next one that they'll hit
[Hook x2]
I need a bit of love
Need a little trust
Need some love
Lotta love right now
There's been pain from the start
Lotta pain in my heart
Need to change but I don't know how
It seems like every little difference is a dividend
Whether the person that they love, who they praise is innocent
[Verse 2]
It seems like every little difference is a dividend
Whether the person that they love, who they praise or their skin
I know I'm different, but they say that we're all one in the same
But why difference come with all of this pain
Tired of all of this pain
Time to put this to rest
If we're all one in the same
I think it's time to accept
That we're always talking about the future is here
Naw man, man the future is here
How the Hell are we still living in fear
Like we fear them cuz they fear us
We'll hate them and they'll hurt us
And we'll hurt us and we'll hurt them
And the fear, the hate, the hurt starts all over again
[Hook 2x]
Here's a bit of love
Here's a little trust
Here's some love
Lotta love right now
Can't take the pain in my heart
Need some change in my heart
'Cause we need change and it starts right now
[Verse 3]
'Cause if there's hate, there's no way that we'll grow
And hate is just the fear of what we don't know
If we get to know each other as brothers, see what we've missed
Then I'll be empathetic simply for the fact that exist
Or give love
Empathy because you exist
Regardless of what the circumstance is
I'll give love
No more living in fear
I'm giving love for as long as I'm here
Cause if there's hate
There's no way that we'll grow
And hate is just the fear of what we don't know
If we get to know each other as brothers, see what we've missed
Then I'll be empathetic simply for the fact that exist
I'll give love
Empathy because you exist
Regardless of what the circumstance is
I'll give love
I'm done living in fear
I'm giving love for as long as I'm here
And I say
[Hook x4]
Give a bit of love
Give a little trust
Give some love
Gotta love right now
No more pain in my heart
We're the same in my heart
Start the chain of the change right now
