Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Straight outta Oakland California where we spark it on ya
Give a shout out to my partners in the darkest corners
I remember drinking Hennessy, smoking weed
Fantasize about the things we'd grow to be
[Verse 2]
Had a partner named Snoop loved to clown a stank
Smoke a pound a day commenced to down a drank
Shooting craps in the alley till they chased us off
Pour a little for my homies but don't waste it all
Ooh wee, who popped that coochie best?
On my tattooed chest is where the hoochies rest
Having house parties in a crowded spot
And you can tell it's hot, they talk loud a lot
[Verse 3]
Everybody wanna dance when the slow jam come
Looking dumb 'cause you waiting for you chance to hump
Straight grinding everybody having fun
And it's cool till a fool pull a loaded gun
'Cause another dude kicked his Bacardi over
He had to act a fool now the party's over
Gun shots rang like it's thunder
And everybody bum rushing and I'm rushing to get a number
Says she got a man but she's lying
Why
I seen her talking to this other guy and
He's a dealer so you know she gonna sweat him
I ain't tripping I just hope he get 'em
I got nothin' but love
[Verse 4]
Ain't got nothin' but love for ya
I'm down for nothin' but love
Ain't got nothing but love for ya
I'm down for nothin' but love
Ain't got nothing but love for ya
I'm down for nothin' but love
Ain't got nothin' but love for ya
I'm down for your
[Verse 5]
I love to go back to the block I got my game from
And pay respect to the place that I came from
'Cause, uh, old man still drinking, his breath still stinking
He'd love to tell ya what he's thinking
But I can't diss him, he's my elder
He been living here longer what that tell ya
And little girls playing double dutch
Still blush 'cause she don't get int trouble much
It's, uh, ponytails and barrettes
I gotta make it back home before the sun decided to set
And little boys playing stick ball quick y'all
Get out the street before they hit y'all
And as I reminisce I think about my ghetto bliss
And wonder how we came to this
I help an old lady across the street the cost is free
I can't take what she offers me
And this is how the world could be
This is how the world should be
Feels good to be back on the streets
'Cause I know they got love for me
Nothin' but love
[Verse 6]
Ain't got nothin' but love for ya
I'm down for nothin' but love
Ain't got nothin' but love for ya
I'm down for nothin' but love
Ain't got nothin' but love for ya
I'm down for nothin' but love
Ain't got nothin' but love for ya
I'm down for your
[Verse 7]
When I was young I used to want to be a dealer, see
'Cause the gold and cars they appealed to me
I saw brothers getting rich slanging crack to folks
And the square's getting big for these sack of dope
Started thinking 'bout a plan to get paid myself
So I made myself, raised myself
Till the dealer on the block told me that ain't cool
You ain't meant to slang crack, you a rapper fool
I got my game about women from a prostitute
And way back used to rap on the block for loot
I tired to make my way legit
But it was hard 'cause rhymes don't pay the rent
And, uh, it was funny how I copped out
I couldn't make it in school so finally I dropped out
My family on welfare
I'm steady thinking
Since don't nobody else care
I'm out here on my own
At least in jail I have a meal and I wouldn't be alone
I'm feeling like a waste
Tears rolling down my face
'Cause my life is filled with hate
Until I looked around me
I saw nothing but family
Straight up down for me
Panthers pimps pushers and thugs
Hey, yo, that's my family tree
I got nothin' but love
[Verse 8]
Ain't got nothin' but love for ya
Yeah, nothin' but love
Ain't got nothin' but love for ya
Yeah, nothin' but love
Ain't got nothin' but love for ya
Nothin' but love
Ain't got nothin' but love for ya, yeah
Ain't got nothin' but love for ya
Ain't got nothin' but love for ya
Ain't got nothin' but love for ya
Nothin' but love
Ain't got nothin' but love for ya, yeah
Oaktown
Ain't got nothin' but love for ya
Ain't got nothin' but love for ya
Ain't got nothin' but love for ya
