(Love's gonna get you)
I sit down on my bed to watch some TV
(Love's gonna get you)
(Love's gonna get you)
'Cause now I got other people working for me
And every once in awhile I hear 'Just say no'
See me and my brother jump in the BM
That's why
So far all the people out there
In front of my building with the rest of his friends
(Love's gonna get you)
My sister's gear now has sex appeal
A lil' something like this
He gives me two hundred for a quick delivery
Driving around our territory again
My brother's my partner and we're getting paper
That that word love is real soft
(Love's gonna get you)
They shot down one, they shot down two
Three months later we run our own caper
I gotta tell the suckers everyday, "Don't start it"
But as we ran there were the boys in blue
Do my ears deceive me?
See there in school, see I'm made a fool
The war is on and I'm on the rise
Money's flowing, everything is fine
He wasn't dead but the blood was pouring
At the end of the day I don't hit the arcade
Love's gonna sneak right up and snuff you from behind
I got a 55 inch television you know
Now it's time, I've got to do somethin'
But I'm still in it
That word love is very very serious
And takes you right out
So I want you to check the story out as we go down the line
I got beans, rice, and bread on my shelf
But when you use it in your vocabulary
My sisters cute but she got no gear
Not in height but juice and cash flow
And all I could think about was my brother
(Love's gonna get you)
My family's happy everything is new
I do odd jobs and come home like a slob
(Love's gonna get you)
I look for work, I get dissed like a jerk
Now tell me what the fuck am I supposed to do?
My mom goes to work cold busting her ass
I got three pairs of pants and with my brother I share
The very next day while I'm off to class
I pick up my remote control and just turn
I go upstair and hug my mother
He's the neighborhood drug dealer, my man
Later I found that it was Rob and his crew
I do it once, I do it twice
You know that's why
Now tell me what the fuck am I supposed to do?
Now tell me what the fuck am I supposed to do?
My mother's nervous but she knows the deal
'Cause where I'm at if your soft your lost
Rob jumped up and began to run
A year goes by and I begin to grow
And you start scheming and carryin' on for it
I pick up my feet and begin to watch TV
So I just stopped, and let off three shots
Because a lot of people out here say
I hit the accelerator scared as shit
Kiss my sister, and punch my brother
And all I could think about was war and
On top of that I'm in it to win it
I'm in junior high with a B plus grade
But when you fall in love with it
Nope, that's the fourth time this week
Some fired back so we took cover
That word love is a very serious thing
Business is boomin', everything is cool
I'm just in love with that girl over there
You fall in love with your car
But there's no dollars for nothing else
I pull about a G a week, fuck school
I stop at the light like a superstar
Said, "Hello", and then the bullets rang out
(Love's gonna get you)
And if you don't watch out, I tell ya that
I can't believe that Rob would diss me
Pointing their guns at my four man crew
And drove one block to find my brother was hit
I threw the gun down and began to shout
Another fast brother shot dead in the street
That faggot, that punk, he's soft a sissy
I love my car or I love my chain or or
(Love's gonna get you)
Like your addicted to it, it sneaks right up
It's alright to like or want a material item
You fall in love with your chain
Every day I see my mother struggling
Now there's steak with the beans and rice
We gonna bump the beat
(Love's gonna get you)
Two hit him and one hit a cop
Is when they say, this is your brain on drugs
Busting shots hoping to hit someone
And automatic weapons cold sprayed my car
I walk from school to my mom's apartment
We rolled right up to his favorite hang out
I give him a pound, oh, I mean I shake his hand
So here comes Rob, he's cold and shivery
Or the other commercial I love
Got myself an Uzi and my brother a nine
To say on course means to roll with force
Very addictive, my brothers out of it
(Love's gonna get you)
You know a lot of people believe
I'm driving around now with three of my guys
So, for future reference remember
"Come on I got him, it's time to break out"
That fall in love with material items
A boy named Rob is chillin' in a Benz
'Cause with that bullshit I'm not concerned
With one and a half pair of pant, you ain't cool
