Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Here I sit by my window

Thinkin' 'bout all the things that I been through

There were times when I never thought I would get to where I got to

Had some angels to guide me, some who just violated my love

Now this is my chance to say, ain't got nothin' but love

[Verse 2]

For my family that raised me

(Shout out, shout out)

And my teachers that done praised me

(Shout out, shout out)

To anyone who tried to hate on me, yeah

(Shout out, shout out)

Even the ones who tried to break me

Even the ones who tried to take me down

[Verse 3]

There's been haters since this world been goin' round

(Nothin' but love)

Why did it take a queen to try to crush 'em down?

(Nothin' but love, nothin' but love)

I ain't even tryna hold on to that now

(Nothin' but love) Nothin' but love

Ain't got nothin' but, nothin' but love for you

(Nothin' but love, nothin' but love)

[Verse 4]

I could hold on to pain, but that ain't what my life's about

I ain't blamin' nobody if I ain't got my stuff worked out

I got a lot for myself, ain't gonna regret anything I've done

I just wanna sing my song, ain't got nothin' but love

[Verse 5]

For all the players on the street

(Shout out, shout out)

To all my ghetto doin' your thing

(Keep on, keep strong)

To all my exes that done wronged me

Stepped on me, can't hold me down, no

[Verse 6]

There've been haters since this world been goin' round

(Nothin' but love)

Why'd it take a queen to try to crush 'em down?

(Nothin' but love, nothin' but love)

I ain't even tryna hold on to that now

(Nothin' but love) Nothin' but love

I ain't got nothin' but, nothin' but love for you

[Verse 7]

To the givers and the takers

To my crew from way back when (Way back when)

To the cold words and the stares (Oh yeah)

And the ones that I ain't met

[Verse 8]

For myself for stickin' with me, yeah

For the ones I'm missin' up above (Oh)

Anyone who's ever been a part of me

Ain't got nothin' but love

(Nothin' but, nothin' but)

I got nothin' but love

[Verse 9]

There's been haters since this world been goin' round

(Nothin' but love) Nothin' but love

Why'd it take a queen to try to crush 'em down?

(Nothin' but love, nothin' but love)

I ain't even tryna hold on to that now

(Nothin' but love) Nothin' but love

Ain't got nothin' but, nothin' but love for you

[Verse 10]

(Nothin' but love, nothin' but love)

Ain't got nothin' but, nothin' but love for you

(Nothin' but love, nothin' but love)

Ain't got nothin' but, nothin' but love for you

(Nothin' but love for you)

(Nothin' but love, nothin' but love)

Ain't got nothin' but, nothin' but love for you

(Nothin' but love, nothin' but love)

Ain't got nothin' but, nothin' but love for you

(Nothin' but love, nothin' but love)

Ain't got nothin' but, nothin' but love for you
