You know, that's why man I've been telling You all the time man, you know love That word love is a very serious thing And if you don't watch out, I tell ya that (Love's gonna get you) (Love's gonna get you)
Because a lot of people out here say I love my car or I love my chain or or I'm just in love with that girl over there
So far all the people out there That fall in love with material items We gonna bump the beat A lil' something like this
I'm in junior high with a B plus grade At the end of the day I don't hit the arcade I walk from school to my mom's apartment I gotta tell the suckers everyday, "Don't start it"
'Cause where I'm at if your soft your lost To say on course means to roll with force A boy named Rob is chillin' in a Benz In front of my building with the rest of his friends
I give him a pound, oh, I mean I shake his hand He's the neighborhood drug dealer, my man I go upstair and hug my mother Kiss my sister, and punch my brother
I sit down on my bed to watch some TV Do my ears deceive me? Nope, that's the fourth time this week Another fast brother shot dead in the street
The very next day while I'm off to cla*s My mom goes to work cold busting her a*s My sisters cute but she got no gear I got three pairs of pants and with my brother I share
See there in school, see I'm made a fool With one and a half pair of pant, you ain't cool But there's no dollars for nothing else I got beans, rice, and bread on my shelf
Every day I see my mother struggling Now it's time, I've got to do somethin' I look for work, I get dissed like a jerk I do odd jobs and come home like a slob
So here comes Rob, he's cold and shivery He gives me two hundred for a quick delivery I do it once, I do it twice Now there's steak with the beans and rice
My mother's nervous but she knows the deal My sister's gear now has sex appeal My brother's my partner and we're getting paper Three months later we run our own caper
My family's happy everything is new Now tell me what the f**k am I supposed to do? That's why (Love's gonna get you) (Love's gonna get you) (Love's gonna get you)
You fall in love with your chain You fall in love with your car Love's gonna sneak right up and snuff you from behind So I want you to check the story out as we go down the line
Money's flowing, everything is fine Got myself an Uzi and my brother a nine Business is boomin', everything is cool I pull about a G a week, f**k school
A year goes by and I begin to grow Not in height but juice and cash flow I pick up my feet and begin to watch TV 'Cause now I got other people working for me
I got a 55 inch television you know And every once in awhile I hear 'Just say no' Or the other commercial I love Is when they say, this is your brain on drugs
I pick up my remote control and just turn 'Cause with that bullshit I'm not concerned See me and my brother jump in the BM Driving around our territory again
I stop at the light like a superstar And automatic weapons cold sprayed my car I hit the accelerator scared as shit And drove one block to find my brother was hit He wasn't dead but the blood was pouring And all I could think about was war and
Later I found that it was Rob and his crew Now tell me what the f**k am I supposed to do? You know that's why (Love's gonna get you) (Love's gonna get you) (Love's gonna get you)
That word love is very very serious Very addictive, my brothers out of it But I'm still in it On top of that I'm in it to win it
I can't believe that Rob would diss me That faggot, that punk, he's soft
