Where’s the Love

Lyrics

[Intro: Talib Kweli] The best kept Ha-huh, the rest slept [Hook: Jay-Z sample (Talib Kweli)] My nigga, where's the love? (I dunno) My nigga, where's the love? (Fuck) (I dunno) [Verse 1: Talib Kweli] It's customary to pop the Mary Rock canary cuts when the snitches get stitches, because they cut canaries I'm very blunt, but with words is fierce, stuff is heavy Trust you got virgin ears, than a busted cherries Strawberry blunt, scatter coffin Emcees steady front, I got em coffins (My nigga, where's the love?) Step into my office, for those who don't know They don't show no love and keep it secret so I won't know I'm so passionate, my presence make you insecure These wack questions get flipped back on them interviewers (Fuck) They like describe yourself, I'm like that's your job Ain't you a scribe yourself? These nigga's lazy guy We stay involved, we off the books like librarians Then beef like vegetarians, civilized and barbarians I vilified like a villain that's on a [???] The chariot's on fire, a freedom fighter like Harriet [Hook: Jay-Z sample (Talib Kweli)] My nigga, where's the love? (I dunno) My nigga, where's the love? (Fuck) (I dunno) My nigga, where's the love? [Verse 2: eLZhi] If you really know me lemme know and show that you appreciate me Cause life hasn't been too easy lately Was down in the dumps mopin' Sippin' on cups and crowns, goin' through these ups and downs like jump-roping Thinkin' I shoulda listened when they suggested I learn the trade Go to school, read a book, earn a grade and every time I pay (My nigga, where's the love?) Instead of dealin' with promoters that are janky, comin' off a flight Tryna be polite, but I'm cranky Cause they didn't pick me up, hotel far from swanky And they full of sob stories like they bout to yank a hanky (Fuck) Get the show still go on and they thank me But fuck them, just to put it frankly And if you really love me, lemme know I'm sick of the guessin' I should be who y'all pick and requestin' Imagine if you put yo heart in this and this rip the part From the start, finish, it would feel like they were kickin' yo chest in (Fuck) [Hook: Jay-Z sample (Talib Kweli)] Where's the love Where's the love Where's the love, ha! My nigga, where's the love? (I dunno) My nigga, where's the love? [Verse 3: Skyzoo] Uh, where the love that we was just hearin' of? (Fuck!) Ha, blood on the leaves, that lead you to where we was We both now or never, like we was comparin' drugs Our heart been ain't the same, so it ain't no comparing us Where the love, where they stand tall next to you by any means? I was there for every frame, tell em pick a scene And what they did to me, consider it past tense If I gave you my word, then you don't gotta act stiff If they don't live it the same, then cut they livin' off Cos right or wrong, I showed you what I was livin' for In the door when they was talkin' bolts and padlocks I overcharged y'all of them have-nots, I paid forward (My nigga, where's the love? Fuck!) The best thing that you wonder, you do the math My approach too nice on the beat and they call it crass The irony or whatever should come with it But I fell to look in the mirror and love the vision Where the love, huh? [Hook: Jay-Z sample (Talib Kweli)] My nigga, where's the love? (I dunno) My nigga, where's the love? (I dunno) (Fuck) Where's the love Where's the love Where's the love My nigga, where's the love?
