Ay two thousand E-S-T
O-C-O-E-E, Yuh, ay
You told me to love I’ll love ‘em again
Told me to love I’ll love ‘em again
Ah, You told me to love I’ll love ‘em again
Oh, You told me to love I’ll love ‘em again

Told me to love, I’ll love till it hurts
When they be doing me dirt, though they gon’ do me the worst
They did to me what they did to You first
Father forgive ‘em they blind
Father just give ‘em some time, that’s all they need
They only see with their eyes, I can’t be wasting my time there’s people to feed
There’s people to lead, so many ready to receive, so many, so many, (so many)
So many to re-ceive, Yuh, look, ay

If you my dawg it’s f’real, for real, I’ll walk through the rain and hell
But if you don’t think God is real, then you cannot fight by my side of the [field?]
I told you I would help but you didn’t want to change for real
I can’t destroy myself for you cause I am not Montell
I tried to stop myself, sittin’ in sin is not gon’ help
I’m raising the flag, I’m ringing the bell, it’s time I need that well
You knew before I fell, You picked me up when I took L’s
You’ve seen before I sail, and guide my way when life get real

You told me to love, I’ll love till it hurts
When they be doing me dirt, though they gon’ do me the worst
They did to me what they did to You first
Father forgive ‘em they blind
Father just give ‘em some time, that’s all they need
They only see with their eyes, I can’t be wasting my time there’s people to feed
There’s people to lead, so many ready to receive, so many, so many, (so many)
So many to re-ceive, Yeah, Yeah
I put away all the things that was holding me back and was holding me down
I had some people that asked where the old me was at I said down in the ground
You see a king with a crown, I see a servant He servin’ the crowd
I tried to put up a wall in my [path/past?], I wouldn’t let nothin’ out
You see me burnin’ it down, you see me burnin’ it down
Every emotion I had, kept it inside and I wouldn’t let it out
Wouldn’t let anything in, wouldn’t let anything in
Didn’t want nobody else to go on and do me the way that they did
World told me never do it again, world told me how to cut off a friend
World told me that ain’t never your girl homie and that love is gone hurt in the end
World told me to look out for myself, world told me never ask for help
World told me nah you don’t need no homies you can go do it all by yourself
Ay, but I know the root is fear, man can blind your vision but God His truth is clear
That’s why I open the word, the Holy Spirit in my ear
You be wherever I’m at, when I’m in the booth you’re here

Tell me to love, I’ll love till it hurts
When they be doing me dirt, though they gon’ do me the worst
They did to me what they did to You first
Father forgive ‘em they blind
Father just give ‘em some time, that’s all they need
They only see with their eyes, I can’t be wasting my time there’s people to feed
There’s people to lead, so many ready to receive, so many, so many, (so many)
So many to re-ceive
