rakim, nipsey hussle & planet asia - love is the message lyrics

[intro: rakim]
can you see what i’m seeing
or are you distracted by the poverty+stricken streets of deep depression that we in?
i see survivors of the worst conditions to be in
you see deceit and the demons, the the death and the grieving
no place to raise a seed in

just as pleasant as eden, where wonder succeed in greeting
oppression’s the reason people unite, even give they life expressing what they believe in

[refrain: sally green & nipsey hussle]
hang on close to the real ones
hold ’em up high, ride ’til we die, love is the message (look)

[verse 1: nipsey hussle]
black on black, pockets fat, hoppin’ out the 7 strapped
walk up to the club, don’t pat me down, they just pat my back (uh)
all my n+ggas got chains on and we thick as f+ck
had a dress code, but rushed the door ’cause we don’t give a f+ck (uh+huh)
standing on the couches, popping bottles, smoking weed
when you see them hoes flocking, then that’s how you know it’s me
i got power in these streets, big b+lls, boxer briefs

yeah, and i’m a beast off in them sheets
so if i pull, then i’m gon’ squeeze, as soon as i come, then i’m gon’ leave
soon as i’m done, then i’m gon’ be back on my grind, back on these beats
’cause i could never be a n+gga that had it, lost it, and end up back in these streets
nah+uh, so it’s all money in ’til i’m r.i.p.
and in my city, n+gga, i am he and we are the o+n+es
we bang hard like the drums on the beat
nip hussle, (ayy, let’s go), keep your ear to the street, n+gga
[chorus: sally green]
hang on close to the real ones
tomorrow don’t make no promises
showing them ’til the day comes
hold ’em up high, ride ’til we die, love is the message

[verse 2: planet asia]
block music, tennis shoes in the war
one false move, that’s an interview with the lord
the fly general, screw face, ride with the tablets
what’s a piece of metal to a magnet?
what’s puppy love to a marriage? what’s a charm to a chain of medallions?
what’s a scammer to a hustler up for the challenge?
another cup for you to pour me in
i put the archetype on display inside the auditorium
this right here is recorded history
you got the god, nipsey, rakim, and planet asia off the whiskey
tipsy on this day of culture
which is my way of life, i live it, then unite in a state of extortion
head on the swivel, my enemies loco
but i was blessed with the same power as simeon toko
they hip+hop shake, i’ma do bamba
and yo, the trinity is me, my mother, and my father, regardless

[chorus: sally green & louis king]
hang on close to the real ones
tomorrow don’t make no promises
showing them ’til the day comes
hold ’em up high, ride ’til we die, love is the message (look)
[verse 3: louis king & louis king and snoop dogg]
these affirmations, i’m the dragon slayer crawling out the dragon’s lair
unscathed, web3, i don’t sell my music for no chump change
one song moving six figures off of one day
what i need a record label for? i’m on the front page
, rock the godfather of the wavy flow
grenade, blaze, radio for change, blaze, stay the flow (yo)
waiting in the water, drown eternally, parade the coast (yeah)
back ’em down and play the post (look), get back in town and fade alone (whoop)
when it come to the message (c’mon), stress it, hip+hop, my love language (yeah)
all that for one necklace (one), don’t blink for one second (whoop)
i’m goin’ where i’m headed, not afraid of the long roads present
strong, ’cause i’m going where they come, i was raised of a phase, never calm, i’m a weapon, i belong with the legends
i wrote your favorite rapper verse, but the reference was more authentic (yeah)
it ain’t about the mentions, i told you, it’s ’bout the message (message)
drop my daughter in the classroom and hop on a plane
give her a kiss, tell her i love her, then i’ll be back again, it’s louis

[chorus: sally green]
hang on close to the real ones
tomorrow don’t make no promises
showing them ’til the day comes
hold ’em up high, ride ’til we die, love is the message

[bridge: kobe]
one time for the real ones
keep you head up high
it’s for the ones who didn’t make it
we gon’ blaze all night
can’t show no love no more
these streets ain’t safe for you and me
thank god we blessed one more
thank god we blessed one more
[chorus: sally green & snoop dogg]
hang on close to the real ones ()
tomorrow don’t make no promises ()
showing them ’til the day comes ()
hold ’em up high, ride ’til we die (), love is the message

[outro: snoop dogg]
if i wasn’t snoop dogg, i wouldn’t mind being rakim
