O’hene Savant
Love Will Prevail
Chorus:
There’s a song, in my head
I hear it ohh-oo-ohh-oo-over again
It says love, love will prevail
So sing it ohh-oo-ohh-oo-over again
Yeah
Verse 1:
I got a text from my best guy
Can’t believe it read the man Hev died
Many thoughts circulatin’ in my head, why?
‘cause part of my childhood left when he expired
The worst feeling of pain is when you can’t cry
The hurt's still in your brain, if I could ask God
Where do people like Pac and Mike go?
And did the world just get too hard for Michael?
I think the real question is when will I go
And will my light shine even when my eyes closed
They say us men fear what we can’t understand
That’s why a person's death can really touch a man
Sometimes it seems life can crush your plans
Got me prayin’ if [?] don’t get the upper hand
Still marchin’ though my feet are stuck in sand
I do it over and over and over again
Chorus:
There’s a song in my head (yeah)
I hear it ohh-oo-ohh-oo-over again
It says love, love will prevail
So sing it ohh-oo-ohh-oo-over again (so sing it over and over again, sing it over and over and over again yeah)
Verse 2:
I can’t believe what the news say
This week chaos it’s only Tuesday
People losing their homes in foreclosures
Got people losing their domes no more closure
Our poor soldiers coming home from over-
Seas to no jobs so what were they fightin' over?
By the time we all sober what are we left with
But these dry bones and vultures?
Radio insults ya with decadent culture
See these are the songs you would never hear calls for
A song that inspires to change and alter
The hearts of the liars who bring that dark stuff
You see the fire resides in our cuts?
The fire that burns those negative thoughts up?
We are the children of He who taught us
To never let hate take the place of our love
Chorus:
There’s a song (sing it with me) in my head (I hear it loud and clear)
I hear it ohh-oo-ohh-oo-over again (it’s the catchiest tune)
It says love (it says love) love will prevail (love will prevail)
So sing it ohh-oo-ohh-oo-over again (sing this melody I hear in my head, sing it with me y’all)
Verse 3:
Everywhere you look they tryna fight a war
I fight a war if love is what we fightin’ for
But instead it’s for gold and oil
‘cause we are gluttonous and our souls are spoiled
Distracted as a war shows destroy you
If just ‘cause it don’t employ you to exploit[?] you
Petty fools seated at your petty stools
Meanwhile there is a hero in every school
The ones tryna feed our future with the scraps
But we never see our future just to pass
Livin’ in the glory years of shattered glass
When Wall Street thrived and cracked paralyzed blacks
You don’t hear people rap about that
Political analysts don’t analyze that
The living room convo don’t chat about half
Of the true issues but I’m here to bring it back ‘cause
Chorus:
There’s a song, in my head (it’s in my head right now)
I hear it ohh-oo-ohh-oo-over again (I hear it all the time even in my dreams)
It says love, love will prevail (love will prevail, it always does)
So sing it ohh-oo-ohh-oo-over again (you might as well join the chorus with me, sing it)
