Gotta Lotta Love

Woke up the other mornin I heard a rumor

They said the gang wars was over

I told em they was bulls**ttin they said its real as hell

Can't explain the way I felt

Too many years I seen my brothers die

And I can't say that s**t was really that fly

But I used to gangbang when I was younger

So its really hard to tell a kid that he's goin under

I never thought I lived to see us chill

Crips and bloods holdin hands the s**t is ill

But I love it I can't help it

Too much death on the streets and we dealt it

Van ness boys the hoovers the 60s

Bounty hunters 8 treys all coolin out gee

I pray the s**tll never stop

You used to see the wrong colors and the gats went pop pop

But now the kids got a chance to live

And the o g s got something to give

That's love black on black that's how they made it

And if any busters flip they get faded

L a is where I'm speakin of

Peace to all the gangsters cause I got a lotta love

I got a lotta love cause you're all my brothers

Red or blue blacks the color

We got a chance so we can really sweat the real fools

Show those muthaf**kas the real tools

Check the enemy it ain't the family

Not 1 11 try l a p d

They gotta understand they beat on a blackman

There's gonna be drama know what I'm sayin

And if we flip lets all flip together

Cause I'm prepared kid for rough weather

And we gotta realize the boys on the east side

You call em s as I call em allies

Because the day that we all unite

Watch the pigs get real polite

Punk muthaf**kas gotta learn quick

That we ain't takin no more s**t

L a is where I'm speakin of

Peace to all the gangsters cause I got a lotta love

Crenshaw boulevard Sunday afternoon

Folks sittin on things mad systems boom

The girls are lookin better

The gang truce is on so you wear whatever

At venice by the ocean

Rag top trey hits the three wheel motion

There's gangsters all around

Still crazy sets but you just don't clown

I pray l a can stay this way

Its the first summer I can really say

I felt cool we all chilled

Went to the park and nobody got killed

Now if you got a problem its man on man

You don't need a gang to solve em

I seen the greatest thing I seen in my life

Two brothers in a straight up fist fight

Nobody pulled a gat nobody jumped in

Nobody pulled a knife nobody got done in

L a is where I'm speakin of

Peace to my city cause I got a lotta love

G a t e s I hope you wear a vest

Even after you're out the f**kin office

Cause were on a totally different tip

F**k that pig brutality s**t

This unity is gettin to me

Every brother on the street is my homie

I'm rollin through a hood that I never been

And every brother steps to me as a friend

I love it I love it

And nothin in my life will ever be above it

We wanna see our kids all grown up

Were tired of seein our hoods get blown up

L a is a great place

Fly girls d**e cars life at a fast pace

But gangbanging was killin it quick

Another child got hit bulls**t

Pop pop pop 10 on a weekend

We was goin off to deep end

But now we got a chance my friend

To mend and make the colors blend

Lets all go out on a picnic kick s**t

And squash all the static

Last year I lost about five homies

This s**t is real to me

L a is where I'm speakin of

Peace to all the gangsters cause I got a lotta love
