[01:01.608]You and your baby's mom thought that love was a sport
[01:04.421]As men we were taught to hold it in
[01:06.964]That's why we don't know how 'til we older men (Yeah)
[01:10.036]If love is a place I'ma go again
[01:12.278]At least now, now I know to go within
[01:15.041]At times it can take ya for a spin

[01:54.364]We holla love, hoping it'd become one
[01:57.061]Crack got so many lives undone
[01:59.570]From lack of love many hide, some run
[02:02.811]I knew this girl with a son who dreamt of acting in plays
[02:05.666]Demonstration with her man had her trapped in a maze
[02:08.136]Trying to find herself again, much of that she'd have gave
[02:10.757]Love can free us, to it some react as a slave
[02:13.597]Funny, we love 'em more when they're relaxed in a grave
[02:16.056]Wonder if a thug is raw, is he actin' afraid?
[02:19.184]Everybody loves sun, why do I attract shade?
[02:21.469]Heard of the love of money, but compassion it pays

[02:50.880]Some say that I'm a dreamer 'cause I talk about it often
[02:53.476]Seen the hardest nigga soften wit' his homie in a coffin
[02:56.585]We walk and stand in, fall in it
[02:58.719]With the right companion we all in it
[03:01.494]Mary sang a song about it, having broad limits
[03:04.157]In the game of life, it's the scrimmage
[03:06.839]Reminiscing on letters I wrote in my small days
