Take the time and come follow me, and thru this dream
And while i`m rollin` thru these neighborhoods see babies scream
And mommas fiend, Yo, it`s like they on the wrong team
How many people close they eyes to this american dream
I look my children in they eyes and I wipe their tears
Now don`t you fear, `cuz daddy`s gonna be right here
And every river you gotta cross I`ll be right there
And every paain you gotta feel, you know I`ll always care
How many young gotta go to prison, behind the killin and dealin`
Not even carin` how these mothers feelin`
I know you on the swell, I know you lookin` well
But on the inside, just a lil kid that`s locked behind a cell
And oh well, I never had a father there to lead `em, but to leave `em
And they greavin` and they barely breathin`
No reason to even try y`all to look for love
You got dealt such a bad hand to be a thug
Chorus
Oh, what the worl needs is love
And all the homies stuck in prison
What we need is a lil love, that`s what we missin`
Oh, what the world needs is love, is love, we need a lil love
Never seen my pops, unless i seen him in me
Somebody please help me explain all this misery
I`m hangin` out with these older cats and I`m payin` my dues
Actin` a fool up in the streets, I`m packin` this gat and these tools
And thinkin` its cool to sellin dope and never goin to school
But I`m a fool, I listened to them when it should have been you
What kind of drama cause a momma turn her back on her kids
She said I said I`ll be back, but she never did
I used to scream nobody love me
I fell in love with the streets when thugs they huged me
Know what I`m sayin`, Instead of the nights fallin asleep
I fell in love with the streets, would have died as a thug hadn`t been for your love
No mommas and daddys and all these homies stuck in prison
What we need is a lil ove, that`s what we missin`
No mommas and daddys and all these homies stuck in prison
What we need is a lil love that`s what we missin`
Chorus
And just like Jah, He never knew his daddy
And just like me I never knew my daddy
And while I`m ridin` with these older homies drivin` caddies
And now we cryin` wonder why my daddy had to have me
You can relate, but now we made it thru
But it wasn`t easy you see, but can`t forget the ones who died
Wasn`t as fortunate as me
But now that crack flood the streets, nobody know how it came
Nobody wanna tell the truth, that`s why we goin` insane
Project homes are steady broken, daddys out smokin`
Watchin` babies lyin` dead in the casket, it ain`t no joke
And how we gonna make it without these daddies and mommas
That`s why we lost up in this world, crazy facin` this drama
Most of the fathers 20 years ago they had your back
Alot of fathers in this day and time they hooked on crack
All we need is a lil love to change all that
I know it hurts to tell the truth, but gotta face the facts
Chorus
