lyrics

Verse 1 (Intellect):
We shed tears for the ones who ain't here
And say peace for the one who ain't near
Kids gettin' shot, ashes stored in a pot
Ain't no type of family so they bangin' a block

We tryin' 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
Cuz' 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 dont care so we all hold weight
For the working families who be makin' that change

I do it for the people and the art of respect
But in the Philippines is 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 (Jedi):
To all my people in the Philippines, ONE LOVE
To all the mothers stressin' over bills, ONE LOVE
To all the the brothers in the streets killed, ONE LOVE
I shed tears for our loved ones, ONE LOVE

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

But we never know a good thing till' it's gone
We lose doggs and homies to things so small
Kill of 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 rewing
On the blocks, teach the youngs make way for the blind
Im like hands up, confinement hands cuffed
Well 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 that got nothin' at all
But im survivin' the times through pennin' my rhymes
You know, it's a struggle in these days and times

Hook x3 (Jedi):
To all my people in the Philippines, ONE LOVE
To all the mothers stressin' over bills, ONE LOVE
To all the the brothers in the streets killed, ONE LOVE
I shed tears for our loved ones, ONE LOVE
