That Ain't Love (feat. L​.​U​.​V)

from Comin' From The Eastside Mixtape by Shining Sons

lyrics

Verse 1 (Intellect):
You say it's love for the people but it's love for the foreplay
Organizin' young sisters spittin' game with no taste
It ain't right when the sisters get the hit
Check it out young bro the sisters gotta be militant

What's the revolution without the peace and love
While the mactivism you spittin' ain't doin' it bro
So, get your shit together and do it for the better
I feel you young missy, my sisters be mad as eva

The funny remarks and the pick-up lines
Stop frontin' for the movement man you wastin' time
While the young mothers workin' hard up on the grind
Providin' for their daughters, come to find she bound to be blind

I smell the bullshit, so it's best you stop
'Cuz we gotta change society with floodin' the blocks
But we gotta break the line from love and holdin' picket signs
That ain't love young homie you gotta free the mind

Hook (Intellect, Jedi, L.U.V)
(Intellect):
You say you trying to help the system by dissin' all of our sisters thinkin' it's intuition, but brother that ain't love
(Jedi):
You claimin' that you love the hood takin' sons away from mothers, help you find a different 'cuz brother that ain't love
(L.U.V):
These coppers claim they for the people, killin' youth and winnin' trials, the system is in denial people that ain't love
(Intellect, Jedi, L.U.V):
That ain't love ya'll, that ain't love-love, that ain't love ya'll, that ain't love-love

Verse 2 (Jedi):
Seen so much in front of my eye been losin' my mind
Brothers killin' another in these difficult times
Got love for the block doesn't mean you'll get it back
Everybody greedy when it comes to the cash

Learned alot of lessons for the ones can't trust
Once you walkin' down your block anyone can bust
Mother loses a son but ain't no one want to talk
Imagine new generation wouldn't follow the wrong walk

Better days, change and hope it's behind closed doors
None of these minds is free 'cuz they don't know what's the cause
Life's a struggle of course, and I can relate
Realize that person you took just looks the same

That ain't love ya'll as a generation we stay strong ya'll
Peace in the hood and now we holdin' on ya'll
Lets fix the problem, and quite the cryin'
Rearrange the neighborhoods and no more dyin'!

Verse 3 (L.U.V):
Now I don't want another Oscar, Bell, Brunston, Kadapan
Fallin' victim to a baton, gunnin' like kabataan
Witness red and blue sirens, runnin towards corruption
Videoing the gunmen, fightin' and still nothin'

But we picket lines, picket signs, pickin times of comin'
Spreadin' that real justice that these pigs can't trust in
I lost my admiration to the swine and time
The masses know we need a change but Obama isn't the God

Killers from overseas, political refugees, inspirin' under siege, admiring we are free
So indeed, Im gonna keep a camera filming these cops and have a file for the judge so the jury can watch

And if they trying to disagree just pick up that molotov
And blow the mothafuckin' roof off the courthouse and let it rot
But is that love though? I keep it peaceful for my people
Still dyin' slow, you know
