Evident Love
Hey I love you and I mean it this time.
No, I really mean it this time.
Meawhile brotha plotting for sexual exploits
How do we say our women Queens and then set traps for them.....
To bring them to their knees?
Don't say its because I love her and I wanna get to know her
What is true love anyway?
Destroying our seeds for pleasurable deeds
I asked the porter and he said love is a gateway
I asked momma and she said niggas' aint ****
I asked father and he said keep away from the pen
I asked myself and I said keep away from the mirrors kid
In a generation with love professed from lips
Why does it seem to be missing?
Love is one of the most used words in the dictionary and I find it used with the most hateful modes of human existence.
We say
I love getting high
I love doin drive-bys
I love having sex
I love stacking racks
I love killing children in the womb
I love my new app and eating chicken wings and crap
Is love synonmyous with the ianimate and dead?
ARE we so gieved in our souls?
Prancing around under mistletoes
Maybe thats it we've cursed ourselves into hate.
The world does love...It loves hate
Hiding it behind smiles and false one night affairs
Dating eternally our own destruction...
If only we could reverse call it Benjamin Button?
Sure I believe love exists
When you find God truly you'll find it
And maybe thats the problem
Seeing love as it
When we open up our eyes we will see righteous pure love as the embodiement of the soul
Perhaps we could learn that love is not a thing or a "it" but a person created in the image of God
Maybe then instead of speaking of love
We would live in love
No longer saying "Because I Love YOU"
Because the love
Well that will be evident
