lyrics

Intellect:
We shed tears for the ones who ain't here
And say peace for the ones who ain't here
Kids gettin' shot ashes stored in the pot
Aint no type of family so they bangin' a block

We trying to see change can't be blind by the facts
We want to stay the same but we can't do that
Roadblocks on the road don't mean the road stop
Cause we organize for better and it go non stop

I spit bars for the ones who can't be heard
And im walkin down my block see these families hurt
But the system don't care so we hold weight
For the working families who be makin' that change

I do it for the people and the art of the respect
But the Phiippines is in trouble why we gotta neglect
But I don't understand why its patience it takes
For the world to know the flaws get the masses awake

Hook (x2):
To all my people in the Philippines, ONE LOVE
To all my mothers stressin' over bills, ONE LOVE
To all the brothers in the streets killed, ONE LOVE
I shed tears for our loved ones, ONE LOVE

Intellect Verse 2:
I shed tears for our loved ones when bucks come
Run cause police gonna pull those guns
The government control and release disease
It's increasin' on the streets so peace ain't in reach

But we never know a good thing till' it's gone
We lose dogs and homies to things so small
Kill off society the lives that we take
The real question in our minds is who do we blame

As the hands of time turn we strive to rewind
On the blocks teach the youngz make way for the blind
Im like hands up cofinement hands cuffed
But we gotta wise up in our minds it's like times up

It's one love for the struggle and cause
For the families in the hood who ain't got nothin at all
But im survin the times through pennin' the rhymes
You know its a struggle in these days and times

Hook (x2):
To all my people in the Philippines, ONE LOVE
To all my mothers stressin' over bills, ONE LOVE
To all the brothers in the streets killed, ONE LOVE
I shed tears for our loved ones, ONE LOVE
