[Verse 3: Nas]
Feel this hit, bangin' in your residential district
Presidential chipped out canary rock sizzlin'
Mary hot, pop Cris', shorty got this
Fly angel, my dreams of a queen came true
In this land that's dark, if you my man, then you my heart
I'll blast for you, need bail put up the cash for you
Girls who mad loyal die for you
Leave 'em if they actin' too fly for you
All up in your mix then in somebody else 6
Quick to put your name in some murder one shit
I'm not the one cheatin' on you, or beatin' on you
'Cause I'm laid back you thought that I was sleepin' on you
Real love make a ill thug feel bugged
Nas analyze are you trustworthy by the looks in your eyes
Stay with me, be my dog like Dollar and Richie
She convinced me, all we really need is love strictly
[Outro: Mary J. Blige]
Love is all we need
You know love is all we need
To make everything complete
I wanna be happy, we can be happy
If you wanna be happy with me
Love is all we need
You and me are two in one
And our love has just begun
And we can love, we can love
'Cause everybody needs love
Oh, we need it
Love is all we need
Love is all we need, all we need, need, yeah, we need love
Love is all we need
'Cause everybody needs love
Love is all we need
'Cause everybody needs love
