1-Luv (feat. Leviti)

This is the operator, I have a collect call from

"Hey, this yo' partner man!"

Who is an inmate in a California State prison

To deny charges, hang up now

To accept charges, press five now

Mhmm, well

(One love) the L, the L, the L, the L

One love

(One love) the O, the O, the O, the O

(Only one love)

(One love) and the V, the V, the V, the V

(One love)

(One love) it's the E, the E, the E, the E

'Member that game Fat Bank Take Skinny Bank?

Well now we play Skinny Bank Take Fat Bank

That's because it ain't no work bein' offered main

They act like they ain't even thinkin' 'bout us main

I promise I swear the po-po threw my homey in the slammer

Did him bad, wish I had my candid camera, made me mad

Vanilla be swarmin' like bees surveillance, binoculars hidden in trees

Reliable sources copying keys, oh p-uh-please

One for the life, and two for death

Three damn strikes, no chances left

Let me tell ya a little 'bout me

E-40 and the C-L-I-C we used to have to use

Sheets for curtains, socks for washtowels

I was happy as hell when my cousin gave me his hand-me-downs

This ain't no happy Shirley Temple talleistic crap

This here is serious, more Realistic than Radio Shack

Observe as I strike a nerve, reach out and touch my kind

Open up your photo album man, and I bet you find

Folks that passed away, partners that been blasted away

I miss you steal some liquor main, who got some tissue

One love (one love)

One love

Oh (one love)

One love (one love)

Well, well, well, well (one love)

One love (one love)

(One love)

One love (one love)

Well, well, well, well (there's only one love)

Everybody wanna shoot 'em up, bang bang

Way I was raised, we had to knuckle up and throw them thangs

We got 'em up and you know I had to check 'em swell

'Cause if I ran home and didn't fight back my mom'd beat that tail

Just received word from my folks upstate

They said uh, they tryna, they tryna take away our weights

And uh, no more beef and pork just Muslim books and fish fork

And laps around the yard with my Walkman bumpin' this

Now I'm 'bouts to get married, is it clever

Thought it was 'til I got the Dear John letter

Been down for ten bucks and got a eight year stay

And I just found out she had her baby yesterday

Ain't nobody been to see me yet, but I ain't gonna worry

Man ya out there ballin' man, can you drop a twenty up in my commisary

My family thinks that I'm a thug homie

When you see my momma man, give her a hug for me

And tell her

One love (one love)

One love

Oh (one love)

One love (one love)

Well, well, well, well (one love)

One love (one love)

(One love)

One love (one love)

Well, well, well, well (there's only one love)

Huh, thinkin' back, you gotta watch your back and play it well

Enjoyed myself when I was out there tryna get in that mail

We used to kick it at the waterfront, the whole Vallejo

Watchin' the pervin' contestses between E-40 and Del

That's what we did up under the bridge, fools posted up

Choppin' game, conversatin', gettin' toast up

Leanin' against my seamless convertible tops and boosted cleaners

Them Click boys mobbin' deep in cuts, actin' meanest

The good times, they gone, here in the can is my new home

Guess in order to do some right I had to do some wrong

Picked up a package yesterday and I was happy

It was a box and full of goodies from my papi

Tripped me out, ain't seen or heard from Poppa Duke in years

Sent me a picture and some 'fetti, dang they sheddin' tears

See first you born, then you live, then you die

One day soon I'll get another try, one love

One love (one love)

One love

Oh (one love)

One love (one love)

Well, well, well, well (one love)

One love (one love)

(One love)

One love (one love)

One love

Well, well, well, well (there's only one love)

One love (one love)

Oh (one love)

One love (one love)

Well, well, well, well (one love)

One love (one love)

(One love)

One love (one love)

One love

Oh (one love)

One love (one love)

Well, well, well, well (there's only one love)

One love (one love)

One love (one love)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
