《Love’s Not (Raw Material Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:13] Love's Not (Raw Material Album Version)-Mars Ill

[00:00:16] Verse 1

[00:00:17] Love. What is it?A solid or a liquid?

[00:00:23] The question resonates from inner space to outer limits

[00:00:25] Outer space to inner city dwellers timid, not committed

[00:00:28] Love just isn't built on child support and weekend visits

[00:00:30] You kill it like strychnine when you treat it like a cancer

[00:00:33] You don't feel it so you spend time seek pleasure, not the answer

[00:00:35] In clubs peeping dancers in a jacked-up type of manner

[00:00:38] Stuffing g-strings with dollars that should buy your baby's Pampers

[00:00:40] Love's not waking up with different women every morning

[00:00:43] Love's not beating her down at nine months, with child forming

[00:00:46] Love's not leaving your wife and your seed with no warning

[00:00:48] Love's not, and when it's raining its pouring

[00:00:50] Scoring no points you smoke joints, and toke your life away

[00:00:53] You might have another year or two but you really die today

[00:00:56] Display respect for yourself, or you can't love nobody else

[00:00:58] The hand you're dealt requires action, not just something you felt

[00:01:03] Chorus:

[00:01:06] I know what love is and it just don't stop

[00:01:08] but I can explain it better when I say what love's not.

[00:01:11] Yeah I know what love is, and it just don't stop

[00:01:13] But I explain it better when I can say what love's not.

[00:01:20] Verse 2

[00:01:21] A house divided against itself is prone to utter desolation

[00:01:24] So for this generation on the brink of extermination

[00:01:26] I pour out a libation, a lyrical libation

[00:01:29] In observation of the annihilation of the moral foundation

[00:01:31] The desperation of the situation was clearly foretold

[00:01:34] That in these last days the love of many would grow stone cold

[00:01:36] And if hell is without love

[00:01:38] Then all hell has broke loose in this culture

[00:01:39] Feel the negativity circling overhead like a vulture?

[00:01:42] The inverted priority of the majority, squander the sacred

[00:01:45] To give what's profane seniority

[00:01:47] And incredibly we fail to see collectively

[00:01:49] The reasons why things fall apart like leprosy

[00:01:52] Passion is the fashion taboos are taboo

[00:01:54] Do you see through this voodoo

[00:01:56] Cause it stinks like doodoo

[00:01:57] Yo it's sad but too true how many don't have a clue

[00:01:59] To the fact we'll be judged for all we think say and do

[00:02:02] From east to west coast and all areas in between

[00:02:05] Real love is like a ghost --talked about but rarely seen

[00:02:07] Except on TV screens where they flash these caricatures

[00:02:10] That on the down low are meant to influence our characters

[00:02:12] But love is not love if it's manufactured for the moment

[00:02:15] That makes it more than the physical between a man and a woman

[00:02:17] Wisdom is justified by her children in the end

[00:02:20] And real love is being willing to lay down your life for a friend

[00:02:28] Chorus

[00:02:32] Verse 3

[00:02:42] Love's not caught in mug shots or seen in drug spots

[00:02:45] Love's not sex or who you do next Love's not

[00:02:48] Road rage, porno pages in the eyes of a racist

[00:02:51] Loves not whoring and love's not abortion

[00:02:53] Of course then love doesn't bomb clinics to make it finish

[00:02:56] Love's not hate and love's not a cynic

[00:02:58] Love's not seen on Jerry Springer or expressed by middle finger

[00:03:01] And love is rarely captured in the words of any singer

[00:03:03] Love's not domestic violence saying shut up or be silent

[00:03:06] And love's not represented in the way of the police sirens

[00:03:08] Abandoned children in abandon buildings

[00:03:10] Random killings, love's not slow to help you, love is ready and willing

[00:03:13] Love is patient and kind, love is sight for the blind

[00:03:16] Love was borne before the morning, love's transforming your mind

[00:03:18] Love is body and blood, bread and wine, remember the time

[00:03:21] Love is God divine, crucified for mankind

[00:03:51] Chorus
