[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

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

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 around so nobody's hungry

(Love is) - I do what I do

When I can do it like no other to help my brother

And, I hope racism as a whole

don't walk through life, with a blindfold



[Chorus]

(Love is) - Showin love to those

who paved the way, that's my (people)

Politic with Al Green, and now we're

(Love is) - Yeah doin it for black and white

That's my (people)

Get tight altogether, so we can be

(Livin together)



[Erick Sermon]

(Love is) - Yeah, to be able to live

With a, beautiful chick and a couple of kids

Uhh, with foreign cars, a house on land

I'm blessed no doubt y'all - "Check this out"

(Love is) - When your man can't pay the bills

And you loaned him a couple of bills, uh

Now that's real, I come from the heart told ya

Erick Sermon, the underground soldier

(Love is) - Yeah, Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye

And that's what I rock every day

And take what they say, and then relay

When I R-A-P for y'all to play

(Love is) - Yeah, God Almighty

The Alpha Omega, there's no one greater

Then comes your moms, your fam is second

And love is, the name of this record
