Strange Love lyrics

[Intro]

London - So is there only one healing component, which is love?

Mick - Yeah I think...you know, like I said that's what Jesus was down here to show us, that is literally what he showed us, like that's what- what his purpose was on this Earth. Umm, spread love and spread God's message and, and...eventually his love for us is what led him to die on the cross

[Verse 1]

Was never here to lessen your glow

I wanna see it intensified

I wanna see my niggas learning lessons and attempting to grow

I see my cousin whip get hit from the side, they swiss cheesed it

In a swift moment most niggas would misread it as well

When your dealings not as well as you've been meaning to tell

Can't tell me nothing fam, I've seen it myself

Walked away from niggas needed my help

I mean how I'ma give you what I clearly still need for myself?

Underwater tryna breathe for myself

Going deep so the pressure is massive

Really tryna be a saint, but I ain't Drew Brees I never been that passive

Always been this pensive

Niggas claiming that I'm changing cause my clothes ain't always been expensive

Always been eccentric

Never been as fake as but it came to extensions

The poems always been extensive

See this story hasn't yet been stenciled

Or adapted to some whack ass Tyler Perry minstrel movie

I detest the pretentious bougie

Motherfuckers whose presence I digest like meat

I'm vegetarian let's digress to some shit that move me

Tell shawty if we kick it then I'm just like Kangol

Girl I'm at your kufi

Introspective questions, hope you ain't no goofy

What you think about the black man?

Tell me what you know about love

Ain't no right or wrong answer

I just know we could go deeper

It's a story, every stanza

Gotta speak in allegory, spread love the new mantra

It's the healing component, it's the healing component

It's the light for the evils like a fucking patronus

Standing banded with my brothers, black Nicholas Jonas

Fuck my last name them hoes used to own us

No weapon formed against me, please don't even walk up on us

Dunkin Donuts in my coffee cause I been smelled the Folger's

I just walked in on you bitch, smell the doja

What's the basis? All these racist motherfuckers out here raping the culture

On the lowest of keys, they sowing hate for ourselves then throw bait

To kill and appropriate, they vultures

Ain't immune to reproach

Have your fucking hands up if you choose to approach us

Fuck around with the fuck around, we still might shoot

[Hook]

Dr. Strangelove

We claim that we love our sisters

That's some strange love, Dr. Strangelove oh oh

Oh oh oh

We claim that we love ourselves

That's some strange love, Dr. Strange

Don't go insane, love, know shit's insane, love

I feel your pain, Dr. Strangelove

We claim that we love our sisters

That's some strange love, Dr. Strangelove oh oh

Oh oh oh

We claim that we love ourselves

That's some strange love, Dr. Strange

Don't go insane, love, know shit's insane, love

I feel your pain

[Bridge]

So please don't lose the love we made

So please don't lose the love we made

Don't fade away, don't fade away, don't fade away

Don't fade away, don't fade away, don't fade away

[Verse 2]

How could a black man not be confused in this?

Used to hang from them trees, we abusing them now

Sons and our daughters used to follow in the footsteps of our fathers

But we losing them now

On our own scene of Lackawanna Blues for him

How society not bruise your mental?

Both claim Jesus, we Jews and gentiles

I cruise at two miles an hour

I hope everybody gets to see the love

[Bridge]

So please don't lose the love we made

So please don't lose the love we made

Don't fade away, don't fade away, don't fade away

Don't fade away, don't fade away, don't fade away

[Outro: Hook]

[Outro]

Woman - Never changing, despite if he gets on your nerves or not. Despite if she, you know, doin' that time, or not. And she's just getting on your nerves. It's unconditional, and never ever changes. If I say I love you that means I'm gonna love you forever, that's just, that's something you have to equate with forever. Never change it...
