[Ad-libs by Musiq & K. Fox]
[Verse 1: Ghostface]
First I love God, then love my mother
Love my babies, sisters and brothers
Love my father cause that's my mom's partner
Love my grandmother and my grouchy ass grandfather
Love my aunties on both sides of the family
Uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews
Mess with my peoples you get stepped to
Love the mother of my children, them girls is special
Love feels good though we stuck in the hood
Love my last album, though the joint went wood
My mans and my enemies, I love them too
Love God he let me see past thirty-two
Plus what he gave Wu, a chance to change music
Just listen, you and I know the truth
Love is essential, to some it's detrimental
Mostly when you use the next person as a rental
[Chorus: Musiq & K. Fox]
Love, lift us up (Higher), take us higher (High)
Blossom every ghetto flower (Oh, love, yeah)
'Cause love, only love has the healing power
And we can never live without you for
Love, Love, Love
[Verse 2: Ghostface]
Love life, the ground we walk on
My sickness, it made me strong
My loved ones in Heaven
The ones we lost, to heroin
Malcolm, Martin
And what they stood for, them men had it poppin'
Love the sun when rain drops in
Cozy nights with my pumpkin
Love my hell and my struggle
You gotta go to Hell to come out right, Love conquers pain and the puzzle
Funny on how Love could end so subtle
Was it just sex and not really Love for the couple?
Love people
Love the fact when there's a baby bein' born, like "push girl, come on"
I'm not just sayin' that cause BET's on
We is one, one Love, each one, teach one
[Chorus: Musiq & K. Fox]
Love, lift us up (Lift us up), take us higher (Take us higher)
Blossom every ghetto flower
'Cause love (Oh, love), only love has the healing power (Healing power)
And we can never live without you for
Love, lift us up, take us higher (Yeah)
Blossom every ghetto flower
'Cause love (My love, your love), only love has the healing power (Healing power)
And we can never live without you for
Love (Oh, love), lift us up (Lift us up), take us higher (Take us higher)
Blossom every ghetto flower
'Cause love (Oh, love), only love has the healing power (Lift us up)
And we can never live without you for
Love
