My Love

I always search for my love Since I first heard of my love Hey have you heard of my love? Yo yo yo what's the word on my love? Yeh-yeh-yeah yeah yeah I always searched for my love (love) Since I first heard of my love (love) Hey have you heard of my love? (love) Yo yo yo what's the word on my love? Yeh-yeh-yeah yeah yeah This is the sound of the giants that come from places so small This is the sound of the riots allegedly without cause In the same vein of lost tribes, many people divided But it's not hard just to find it when you look deeper inside it My mother beat on the table she did it better than me Somewhere I lost all my rhythm, they tried to hide it from me Mom I remember the things that you confided in me, And although you were not perfect I got your brightest in me I give it all that I got Until the day that I rot For every note that I jot For every twist in the plot I always searched for my love Since I first heard of my love Hey have you heard of my love? Yo yo yo what's the word on my love? yeh-yeh-yeah yeah yeah I always searched for my love (love) Since I first heard of my love (love) Hey have you heard of my love? (love) Yo yo yo what's the word on my love? Yeh-yeh-yeah yeah yeah I may not be in the game of newfound fortune and fame Just wanna be a small part of this traditional art Of puttin pen to the page and rhyming words that I say I wasn't born right on Sedgwick but I'm still from round the way He was so cold and so callous and now we act like he's Jesus That's how I know that the story is never quite what they feed us Look at the news and I see that you can't just really believe it So it's our duty I think, to call it out how we see it But what's important to know before I throw my critique in I gotta get to the root so I can see myself clearly I found myself in them spirits, I found myself in them streets The mirror always deceived me, I found myself somewhere deeper I found myself in community and that's where I been rooted I found myself in the history, human family truly I think my ancestors knew me Yeah yeah, I think my ancestors knew me I'm planted, I think my ancestors grew me Straight from my ancestors to me A part of the human family truly I think my ancestors knew me I always search for my love Since I first heard of my love Hey have you heard of my love? My love
