One Love (I Love You Jay)
(Gunshot)
When you killed me
You killed apart of yourself
The cards I was dealt
Abused child
Wore scars from a belt
My mama used to beat me
In fear one day society would eat me
While teachers teach me
About scientists like Louis Leakey
Darwin and Mendel
Foolish theories
That we came from Apes
My ancestors never said that
Shot off physical traits
Of the monuments
Books thrown in the middle of lakes
Niggas taking shots at me
On their little
Pitiful
Tapes
Infinity like the most high
Symbolized by the bow tie
Elijah wore on his collared shirt
Older folks cry
As they look in the casket
Another dead nigga
When you was just a child
I'd hop in the bed with ya
To save you from your fear
But now look at us here
I shed a tear
Cuz I can't even look inside the mirror
Blaming myself
Nigga why the fuck wasn't you there!
Your brother needed you
Muthafucker don't you care?
Caught up in my own life
Balancing my home life
When I got the news
I just held on to the phone tight
Life is unpredictable
Cherish every minute
Nigga you ain't the body
You're the spirit that's within it
So your soul will live forever
Cuz energy only transfer
Some bodies get shot down
Some bodies get cancer
The physical is finite
And one day will be my night
But until then
Your memories instilled in
Fuck a record deal
Nigga fuck a million
Fuck that mansion on the hill
It's just a building
Fuck that Lamborghini
that I burnt them wheels in
It's just a shiny car
For you to get killed in!
Fuck that little jewelry
Nigga don't get reeled in
Don't love them fake hoes
Nigga love your children
(One love)
(Rip my nigga Jay I love you nigga)
When you killed me
You killed apart of yourself
The cards I was dealt
Abused child
Wore scars from a belt
My mama used to beat me
In fear one day society would eat me
While teachers teach me
About scientists like Louis Leakey
Darwin and Mendel
Foolish theories
That we came from Apes
My ancestors never said that
Shot off physical traits
Of the monuments
Books thrown in the middle of lakes
Niggas taking shots at me

Nigga love your children
