Corey Paul - 1 Love lyrics

[Hook: Steve Means] And maybe we aren't so different after all And they're just the same as me and you (I Need It, I, I, I Need it, I Need It) We all need it (I Need It, I, I, I Need it, I Need It) One Love (3x) (You Need It, You, You, You Need it, You Need It) We all need it (We Need It, We, We, We Need it, We Need It) One unconditional love [Verse 1: B. Cooper] Through the eyes of a broken heart, nothing looks the same In the streets, no sign and she ain't begging for change Give in to the addiction, living her life in vein Introduction to the game, taught at a young age By a man, that her worth was determined by what she gave Now something meant for love is the way that she's getting paid Ain't trying to change lanes, the road that's she's on is paved Boulevard of broken dreams is normal up in her brain Thoughts can't be tamed, and she about to lose it Life is a magician, she's caught in an illusion Make up and high heels cover up bruises Opportunity gets drowned out by excuses She ain't choose it, but gotta live with it The mind state of somebody who just wants to forget it She blames herself, not knowing she's already acquitted So I put her story in a song, hoping she would hear it [Hook] [Verse 2: Corey Paul] About a year ago the Lord took her spouse She think it was the devil though Park her truck at the neighbor's house Cause Chevrolet trying to repo One woman, raised two sons And a nephew cause her niece locked With good behavior and time served He'll be two when she get out (If she make it that far) Her money short, and her nerves bad Ain't combed her hair in bout' three days Cause her job said don't come back (If she make it that far) Food low and she struggling But she was raised in South Park Know all to well bout' hustlin' They took the truck, she got a cash car It barely ran, but it run Baby done ran every leg of this race But now she on her last one Hate just taking just one Whole fistful of prescriptions Dropped the kids at her mommas house Gave custody to her sister On the ledge, when the devil pushed her That grace is sufficient Not because of, but in spite of Injected her with His spirit Now my momma still living Betty Baby you did it! So I put your story in a song I pray to God she hear it! [Sample] One thing we all need is love. And you can't always expect that from people, but you can always expect it from the most high God [Verse 3: B. Cooper] This is the story of a child Brought up in a two parent home, taught not to be wild Fought not to be forgot in the ninth grade That'd be the year that he'd find his place Year that he'd find faith Before that, not at all what you expected Straight A's in school, but the farthest from perfection Like college applications, layups and bad breath is He tried his best, but still surrounded by rejection (Yeah) so he lived life in the background Silence was his best friend, pen down, want to tap out Give up on his life, in hindsight, looking back now Never would have thought in a million years that he'd rap now But I'm glad he never gave up Three different worlds that all needed the same love Same God to come to the world to save us Wrote it in a song so I remember where I came from [Hook]
