Truth Universal - For the Love Lyrics
For the Love**For the luh luh luh luh luh luh luh LOVE**Verse II’ll take out your best MC for my grand finaleAnd put New Orleans on the map like I’m Rand McNallyThe intent to affect change, that’s what I’m rhyming withPeople say keep doing it, but never put a dime in itI’m tryna manage this green like I was Danny AingeWith rhymes I gave you 2 cents, I’m tryna make changePenny for my thoughts? Fine, but beforeyou give me that be sure to add 999 moreAnd buy the album! It’s kinda hard touring whenYou accumulating debt like Brother Randall RobinsonI need a guarantee, not really making a fussJust want it up front like whites on a segregated busAnd thus, it’s for the love, but now I got childrenAnd Love’ll make a fool of you like Denise WilliamsPro-choice lyrics, poor quality abortedTo make sure good music gets listener supportedChorus:Went from, city to city and state to stateIt all started out with us just digging in the cratesDidn’t know full time B-boy was the fateIt’s for the people, but compensation would be great (It’s for the LOOOOVE)(Luh luh luh luh luh…)Love of rhymes, love of the beatLove of the scratching, Love of the streetsLove of new creation with original flavorAnd Love of reaping fruits of you cultural labor (It’s for the LOOOOVE)Verse IIIf you in it for the cash, then end that shit fastIt’s hard to make g’s like 3 year olds in penmanship classWith your wax and disc, prepare for the bumps and bruisesDJ cliques act bxtch with their picks and choosesAnd they the ones who ain’t deserving my tunesThey get no service like poor people in emergency roomsHear my rhymes, they be like, “Damn dawg you outta chill”I speak my mind, diss the Vatican like Lauryn HillIt’s sorta ill sometimes who descends on the floorAin’t necessarily the people you intended it forDepending on tours, internationally exportedFor who support it, one reason that it gets recordedReason 2, recoup and hopefully stack some doughAnd last but not least, challenging the status quoWith your best plantation rapper run a dead heatBut independent like a Mama when the Daddy deadbeatChorusVerse IIILet me tell you, I been in love with thisBefore the label politics, distributors + publicists(It’s) kinda frustrating cuz, the things I do for the loveShould be like Tiger Woods’ wife, an make you run from the clubTo, organically provide what the listener wantsWith gimmicks, falsehood, or publicity stuntsFor you to listen I implore, and refuse to be ignoredTruth Universal, you know what I do it for
