[E-Dub] Sermon - "aiight" (Aww yeahhh...)

[E-Dub] Holla at ya boy - "People in the house"

[E-Dub] Scream at me - "aiight"



[Verse One]

(Love is) - Yeah, music that you feel good

Neighborhood hood, gully

Roll through cause it's cool to boost the spirit

For the folks young and old and infants can hear it

(Love is) - Knowin the rap game is not the same

And still I came

Whoever killed 'Pac and Smalls, they're lame

Erick Sermon, learn my name

(Love is) - When I come through your spot

With no security guards, just me and the Squad, uhh

I got love, a cat got checked by a fan

Holdin me down, I got street respect

(Love is) - When true fans who don't believe in rumors

Real consumers, who love what I'm doin

That's why I.. "PROCEED!"

Superman, the E don't bleed



[Chorus]

(Love is) - Yeah, never hatin

Everybody's out there is (people)

Yeah, why you wanna take my car, so we can be

(Walkin together)

(Love is) - Def Squad, Keith Murray

Redman, that's my (people)

Conversate with the next man, so we can be

(Talkin together)



[Erick Sermon]

(Love is) - When the planes hit

And the world got together like baseballs and mitts

New York's Finest, so I represent my home

Hold weight on this microphone

(Love is) - When I pray for my enemies

If drama cats get smoked like chimneys

I'm not dyin for a fake thug who need a hug

Not E-Dub - "I'm focused man" {Jay-Z}

(Love is) - When your man got your back

And, hold you down when no one's around, and

Bless that, and get that money

And then pass it
