[Verse]
Sometimes when people see you, all they're seeing is a skin tone
They don't wanna know you, they're afraid of what they don't know
'Cause they don't understand you, sometimes they refuse to try
Even look you in the eye or say hi when you're passing by (But why?)
It's really them, it's not you, bro, I'm here for you, I got you
If police slow down and watch you, sometimes they might try to stop you
Or say you're a different guy, sometimes they're just drifting by
You keep your head lifted high, if they speak to you, reply (But why?)
A lot of people searching and a lot of people hurting
When the system isn't working, that's what we call uncertain
See them boarding up the buildings (Yeah) and closing all the curtains?
It's like wearing suits of armor, but no one's trying to hurt them
Why? (Why?) Why is one person mean to the next one? (Yes)
Excellent question, so let's make a suggestion
Whether you go to work or stay at home or go to school
The world would just be cooler if we let love overrule

[Chorus]
Let love overrule, let love overrule
Let love have the last word, let's let love overrule
Let love overrule, let love overrule
Let love have the last word, let's let love overrule

[Post-Chorus]
One thing to remember, this is not just me and you
Making change is up to all of us, we all must help out too, and
[Chorus]
Let love overrule, let love overrule
Let love have the last word, let's let love overrule
Let love overrule, let love overrule
Let love have the last word, let's let love overrule
