[Ad-libs by Musiq & K. Fox]

[Verse 1: Ghostface]

First I love God, then love my mother

Love my babies, sisters and brothers

Love my father cause that's my mom's partner

Love my grandmother and my grouchy ass grandfather

Love my aunties on both sides of the family

Uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews

Mess with my peoples you get stepped to

Love the mother of my children, them girls is special

Love feels good though we stuck in the hood

Love my last album, though the joint went wood

My mans and my enemies, I love them too

Love God he let me see past thirty-two

Plus what he gave Wu, a chance to change music

Just listen, you and I know the truth

Love is essential, to some it's detrimental

Mostly when you use the next person as a rental

[Chorus: Musiq & K. Fox]

Love, lift us up (Higher), take us higher (High)

Blossom every ghetto flower (Oh, love, yeah)

'Cause love, only love has the healing power

And we can never live without you for

Love, Love, Love

[Verse 2: Ghostface]

Love life, the ground we walk on

My sickness, it made me strong

My loved ones in Heaven

The ones we lost, to heroin

Malcolm, Martin

And what they stood for, them men had it poppin'

Love the sun when rain drops in

Cozy nights with my pumpkin

Love my hell and my struggle

You gotta go to Hell to come out right, Love conquers pain and the puzzle

Funny on how Love could end so subtle

Was it just sex and not really Love for the couple?

Love people

Love the fact when there's a baby bein' born, like "push girl, come on"

I'm not just sayin' that cause BET's on

We is one, one Love, each one, teach one

[Chorus: Musiq & K. Fox]

Love, lift us up (Lift us up), take us higher (Take us higher)

Blossom every ghetto flower

'Cause love (Oh, love), only love has the healing power (Healing power)

And we can never live without you for

Love, lift us up, take us higher (Yeah)

Blossom every ghetto flower

'Cause love (My love, your love), only love has the healing power (Healing power)

And we can never live without you for

Love (Oh, love), lift us up (Lift us up), take us higher (Take us higher)

Blossom every ghetto flower

'Cause love (Oh, love), only love has the healing power (Lift us up)

And we can never live without you for

Love
