"Love is the center, together we can work it out
If we ever needed love, we need it right now, right now"
"Love is the center, together we can work it out
If we ever needed love, we need it right now, right now"

Yo, how much pain can one-man take
A woman and child step over crack valves
Blood in the streets, thugs and the creeps
Dilapidated playgrounds where kids play
Broke swings and glass
Dirt for grass, they run and they laugh
Benz parked by the projects, Idle objects
Kids stare hypnotized by the chrome glare
You got dope fiends nodding on the fences
Young brother smoke a blunt
Selling two for fives on the benches
Syringes all through the gutters and haze waters
Police holding parts of these streets to blaze on us
Drunks slain on the pavement hand in a fifth
This ghetto life we living in, God damn it's a bitch
My brothers locked up in jail, box in a cell
[Told in touch] to the world is what I write in the mail
Streets is infested with drugs, crips and bloods
And every corner there's a thug but ain't no motherfucking love
Word up
