Who’s To Say

Love is a casualty of war
My little cousin thought that I ain't love him anymore
Nothin' could be farther from the truth
Here take this liquor and this swisher as a truce
I was just mad 'cause you stole
I was mad but it's old

We gon' talk about it face to face
Forgiveness is the answer and auntie's is the place
Sunday we goin' to the house
Someone got a problem they gon have to kick us out
But you come, I hope you decide to stay
Just know ya big cousin love ya either way

'Cause who's to say? Who's to say?
Who's to say? Who's to say?
I love you still, still
I love
People that they said to never trust
Even if we never stayed in touch
I love you

Love is forgiveness at its core
My cousin think her grandma doesn't love her anymore
Nothing could be farther from the truth
Take the pictures of your daughter on her wall as the proof
I think she was just mad nobody told her
She thought that you was too young but your daughter getting older
I think y'all should talk about it face to face

Forgiveness is the topic and her house is still the place
Sunday we back up at the house
Someone gotta issue they gon have to drag us out
I know they prolly feel some type of way
Someone always got something to say

But who's to say? Who's to say?
Who's to say? Who's to say?
She loves you still (still), still
She loves, loves you
People that we knew was quick to judge
People that would always do too much
We love you still, still

Love is not the sanitized romanticized soliloquy
That smiles and tries to reconcile without accountability
'Cause justice is the motive and the thing that's missing
That's the sickness of the culture
The system that was keeping us from loving how we supposed to
The secrets that we keep to keep us comfortable and closer

The silence in the church when there was violence they would know of
It made us feel like Christ he didn't like like us, didn't know us
But that's just the biggest lie the enemy done ever told us
I know he was the shoulder I could hold on like a toga
When others did me bogus
I'm just lookin for closure, I know that love is righteous

Love is what is happening when someone apologizes
Love is the day that the Grinch's heart grew three sizes
Love is priceless, love is passion
God is loving on you, God is good and God is happenin'
God still love you, don't believe me, ask him

'Cause who's to say? Who's to say?
Who's to say? Who's to say?
He loves you still, you still
He loves you still
He loves you still, you still, you still
People that may think they're not enough
People that they make they aren't loved
He loves, loves you (you still, you still)

Merry Christmas
