I always search for my love
Since I first heard of my love
Hey have you heard of my love?
Yo yo yo what's the word on my love?
Yeh-yeh-yeah yeah yeah
I always searched for my love (love)
Since I first heard of my love (love)
Hey have you heard of my love? (love)
Yo yo yo what's the word on my love?
Yeh-yeh-yeah yeah yeah
This is the sound of the giants that come from places so small
This is the sound of the riots allegedly without cause
In the same vein of lost tribes, many people divided
But it's not hard just to find it when you look deeper inside it
My mother beat on the table she did it better than me
Somewhere I lost all my rhythm, they tried to hide it from me
Mom I remember the things that you confided in me,
And although you were not perfect I got your brightest in me
I give it all that I got
Until the day that I rot
For every note that I jot
For every twist in the plot
I always searched for my love
Since I first heard of my love
Hey have you heard of my love?
Yo yo yo what's the word on my love?
yeh-yeh-yeah yeah yeah
I always searched for my love (love)
Since I first heard of my love (love)
Hey have you heard of my love? (love)
Yo yo yo what's the word on my love?
Yeh-yeh-yeah yeah yeah
I may not be in the game of newfound fortune and fame
Just wanna be a small part of this traditional art
Of puttin pen to the page and rhyming words that I say
I wasn't born right on Sedgwick but I'm still from round the way
He was so cold and so callous and now we act like he's Jesus
That's how I know that the story is never quite what they feed us
Look at the news and I see that you can't just really believe it
So it's our duty I think, to call it out how we see it
But what's important to know before I throw my critique in
I gotta get to the root so I can see myself clearly
I found myself in them spirits, I found myself in them streets
The mirror always deceived me, I found myself somewhere deeper
I found myself in community and that's where I been rooted
I found myself in the history, human family truly
I think my ancestors knew me
Yeah yeah, I think my ancestors knew me
I'm planted, I think my ancestors grew me
Straight from my ancestors to me
A part of the human family truly
I think my ancestors knew me
I always search for my love
Since I first heard of my love
Hey have you heard of my love?
My love
