Verse 1:
Love, what is it? A solid or a liquid?/
The question resonates from inner space to outer limits/
Outer space to inner city dwellers timid not committed/
Love just isn’t built on child support and weekend
visits/
You kill it like stricnine when you treat it like a
cancer/
You don’t feel it so you spend time, seek pleasure, not the
answer/
In clubs, peeping dancers in a jacked up type of manner/
Stuffing G-Strings with dollars that should buy your baby’s
Pampers/
Love’s not waking up with different women every morning/
Love’s not beating her down at 9 months with child
forming/
Love’s not leaving your wife and your seeds with no
warning/
Love’s not, and when it’s raining, it’s pouring/
Scoring no points, you smoke joints and toke your life
away/
You might have another year or two, but you really died
today/
Display respect for yourself, or you can’t love nobody
else/
The hand your dealt requires action, not just something you
felt/
HOOK:
Yeah, I know what love is and it just don’t stop/
But I explain it better, when I can say what Love’s Not/
Yeah, I know what love is and it just don’t stop/
But I can explain it better when I say what Love’s Not…
Verse 3:
Love’s Not seen at drug spots or caught in mug shots/
Love’s not sex or who you’ll do next, Love’s not/
Road Rage, porno pages, in the eyes of a racist/
Love’s not whorin and love’s not abortion/
Of course then, love doesn’t bomb clinics to make it
finsh/
Love’s not hate and Love’s not a cynic/
Love’s not seen on Jerry Springer or expressed by middle
finger/
And Love is rarely captured in the words of any singer/
Love’s not domestic violence, saying “shut up” for the
silence/
And Love’s not represented in the wail of police sirens/
Abandoned children in abandoned buildings, random
killings/
Love’s not slow to help you, love is ready and willing/
Love is patient and kind, Love is sight for the blind/
Love was born before the morning, Love’s transforming your
mind/
Love is body and blood, bread and wine, remember the
time/
Love is God Divine crucified for mankind…
