I Need Love

Lyrics

[Intro] Yeah yeah, check, yeah Listen, ay Yeah [Verse 1] It's about to be a celebration, lemme see you put your glasses up, yeah Got around the table with my people, know we've been through all the down and ups When you're drowning in your sorrows, know the answer's love Just know that it's enough, I met my mother's mother And seen the sacrifices made so I can live this life I tell you twice, "Keep it a hunnid," better yet double that (Oh) Took a visit to the Motherland, I'm never coming back The place they enslave before my name Changes that I made was all for peace of mind, king Bling ain't been enough, tired of being tough I'm a diamond that's in a rough when I was leaving home (Ooh) This shit defined it, who I want to be, I needed clarity It's my decisions but these demons, they get mad at me Battling with myself, battling with my health Couldn't manage the cards it dealt, I been keeping me to myself [Chorus] I need love (Love, love, love, love) Yes I do, yes I do, yes I do, yes I do I need love (Love, love, love, love) Yeah, I need love, I need love I need trust, I need you, yeah I need trust, I need truth, yeah I need love Nothing else above that, yeah Check [Chorus] See, I been dealing with the changes on a daily basis But contemplating on leaving the place that I was raised in I get a taste of the Motherland, they say it's amazing I love the music but they treat me like I'm someone famous I guess I'm still gettin' used to it all A couple extra zeroes, what did I do with it all? I blew the bag one time, they don't teach 'em in school Now I gotta buy land and go build me a school Tell you I'm keeping it cool, pressures of a young black man that's destined to ball They say I'm destined to fall I say I pity the fool that thought I could never be what I thought That's cool, that's cool, here I am seeing it all Been around the world and I made me some moves I guess a little time alone can reveal you a truth I know I gotta be better before I give you my heart This life I been livin' been the pillar to the strength from the start [Chorus] I need love (Love, love, love, love) Yes I do, yes I do, yes I do, yes I do I need love (Love, love, love, love) Yeah, I need love, I need love I need trust, I need you, yeah I need trust, I need truth, yeah I need love Nothing else above that, yeah (Yeah) Check
