Lyrics

[Verse 1]
So come and follow me to the land
Because I love you, take my hand
And from South Africa to Japan
Down to Columbia to Sudan
Over to you
[Verse 2]
Spread the love all 'round the world
Spread the love all 'round the world
Spread the love all 'round the world
Spread the love
Over the moon
Spread the love all 'round the world
Spread the love all 'round the world
Spread the love all 'round the world
Spread the love
[Verse 3]
Big old bird I fly across the world and don't look down
I make love to you with nothing, this life can't sit around
Pride'll get you killed, baby, and death don't wait on love
Time to open up now, y'all said, "Don't release the doves"
Down in Jo-burg I met a girl, she was painted up like an alien
Told me call her 'Mother Earth', and I lay with her, now I can't wake up
We got babies on top of babies
Raised some freedom fighters made for super love
Won't you follow me? We gon' lead the way
Watch the whole world get high like us
[Verse 4]
So come and follow me to the land
Because I love you, take my hand
And from South Africa to Japan
Down to Columbia to Sudan
Over to you
[Verse 5]
Spread the love all 'round the world
Spread the love all 'round the world
Spread the love all 'round the world
Spread the love
Over the moon
Spread the love all 'round the world
Spread the love all 'round the world
Spread the love all 'round the world
Spread the love
[Verse 6]
Crash land, hop out the whip, did the flag plant
One giant leap, hit the moonwalk
You ain't MJ till you shoes drop
You ain't 2Pac till you shoot cops, just another
Black man, every day a episode of Boondocks
And there there's really nothing you can do about it
Play a throwback on the jukebox
Oh, shit, '06, OJ guwop, got me in the mood now
Hit it out the ball park, different kind of heartthrob
Aubrey tried to told me it's a Rollie, not a stopwatch
When you from the bottom, every shot a long shot
So don't try to tell me that it matter what I call God, I don't get that
Y'all be lookin' big mad lyin' up Aunt Viv' in this hole like Sinbad
Stickin' to the side like ten packs, you ain't strapped, better get strapped
[Verse 7]
So come and follow me to the land
Because I love you, take my hand
And from South Africa to Japan
Down to Columbia to Sudan
Over to you
[Verse 8]
Spread the love all 'round the world
Spread the love all 'round the world
Spread the love all 'round the world
Spread the love
Over the moon
Spread the love all 'round the world
Spread the love all 'round the world
Spread the love all 'round the world
Spread the love
[Verse 9]
Take me high, don't take me low
You know we got a really long way to go
I gotta thank God for the sun above
'Cause my black skin can't shake the cold
Unlock your doors, open your soul
You ain't gotta be so Minnesota
They love me in Cologne, I ain't talkin' 'bout the odor
I love it when I'm home, on my sin, I'm a soldier, I'm demanded
Now I met a man alone standing
Holdin' a sign in his hand, it read 'Stranded'
I took a chance, pulled some money out my pants
And said, "Sorry it's not much, it's what I have," he laughed
Said "It's love when you do what you can when you don't have to
I got a mother and dad, they don't care where I'm at, ****, thank you"
Brother, go buy you a gun and rob a bank
[Verse 10]
So come and follow me to the land
Because I love you, take my hand
And from South Africa to Japan
Down to Columbia to Sudan
[Verse 11]
Over to you
Spread the love all 'round the world
Spread the love all 'round the world
Spread the love all 'round the world
Spread the love
Over the moon
Spread the love all 'round the world
Spread the love all 'round the world
Spread the love all round the world
Spread the love
[Verse 12]
One, two, three, get down
