One Love Lyrics - Singles - Flipsyde

Just one 

One love yeah 

One love yeah 

One love yeah 

One love yeah 

Now from the little Rock nine 

To the Jena six 

We came a long way 

Tell me are we there yet (nope) 

From Hip Hop on the block 

In the red sweats 

We graduated overseas 

In them Leer Jets 

This generation got on occupation 

Inspiration 

Cause segregation was the Father of misinformation 

They brought back the nation to it's knees 

When some brave souls 

Stood and rolled 

Interlocked elbows 

And they screamed no more 

John Kennedy the President to grassroot workers 

Hollywood to the stage 

To the fast food workers 

And every now and then 

They pull us down again but it's cool 

Cause every forty plus years 

One love get through (c'mon) 

CHORUS 

I got you got 

We got to have one love 

Or else it's all a lie 

We gotta have it 

(One love one love) 

I got you got 

We got to have one love 

Or else it's all a lie 

We gotta have it 

(One love one love) 

I want to believe 

But nowadays it's so hard 

And I'm really trying to see 

But my faith it lives in me 

It lives in you 

It lives in me 

It lives in everybody can't you see 

That we're all one 

We came undone 

How'd we become this way? 

CHORUS 

I got you got 

We got to have one love 

Or else it's all a lie 

We gotta have it 

(One love one love) 

I got you got 

We got to have one love 

Or else it's all a lie 

We gotta have it 

(One love one love) 

The same bullet 

That assassinated Martin the King 

Killed Sean Bell 

Killed Bobby Kennedy's dream 

Turned friends into enemies 

The wickedest theme 

Atrocious vultures approach us 

With intent to bleed 

And every now and then 

They bring us down again but it's cool 

Cause every 40 plus years 

One love get through 

And all the ignorance 

And hatred in the ice just melt 

And for the first time in years 

The truth get felt 

And from the streets 

To the burbs to the west and east 

Our generation got nerve 

Ima speak my peace 

It's either time for a change 

Or they died in vain 

One love's the religion 

One bloods the same 

CHORUS 

I got you got 

We got to have one love 

Or else it's all a lie 

We gotta have it 

(One love one love) 

I got you got 

We got to have one love 

Or else it's all a lie 

We gotta have it 

(One love one love) 

Spirit come on down say 

Spirit bring peace all around 

Bring your peace yeah 

Peace all around 

Bring your peace 

(One love) 

(One love) 

I got we got to got to get One love 

I got we got to get it 

I got we got to got to get One love 

I got we got to get it 

I got we got to got to get One love 

I got we got to get it 

I got we got to got to get One love 

I got we got to get it 

One love yeah 

One love yeah 

One love yeah 

One love yeah
