Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The politics, the politics been crazy
I swear, the televisions tryin' to kill my baby
This crazy kind is holdin' drivers crazy
Alt dimensions really kinda scary
Now he said, "Why you actin' like you'll live forever?"
You gotta cherish any time you get together
The world can change its ways, it must stay changing
But every time I pray, I hear the same thing
[Verse 2]
Put down your sword
Take less and give more
Love your sister, brother, like before
Make love and not war
Make love and not war, not war, not war
Not war, not war, not war
Love your sister, brother, like before
Make love and not war
[Verse 3]
I know that disrespect can get your blood to boilin'
But keep in mind that violence is a poison
Raise your head up, baby, you're open, knowing change
You are love, the need is so important
And what a shame, the bullies left charge now
Intimidation always tryna bring my heart down
But no matter how much gravity the rain brings
Every time I pray, I hear the same thing
[Verse 4]
Put down your sword
Take less and give more
Love your sister, brother, like before
Make love and not war
Make love and not war, not war, not war
Not war, not war, not war
Love your sister, brother, like before
Make love not war
[Verse 5]
Every time I use my third eye, message is the same
We all have an equal power and choice to love or hate
But humans have the tendency to fear and aggravate
Find your truest power when you meditate
But when you find it, hold on tight and you shall elevate
Love is needed more than ever, do not hesitate
Mother needs some life support, we cannot be late
Love is needed more than ever, do not hesitate
Now ego is the friendliest if your frenemies
Be careful or he'll rob you of all your energy
Our struggles will forever be a waste of time
What's yours is yours, what's God's is God's, cannot be mine
[Verse 6]
What's yours is yours, what's God's is God's, cannot be mine
What's yours is yours, what's God's is God's, cannot be mine
[Verse 7]
So put down your sword
Take less and give more
Love your sister, brother, like before
And make love, not war
