What If We Could All Love One Another?

Wars and rumors of wars,

I’m bringing Jesus to the street,

Put down your pistol and your dope.

You won’t need a man 

I’m bringing you hope,

My life was surrounded by confusion from the president of illusion,

My spirit was lost,

I ran into the street and thought I was boss,

I was lost 

I heard Jesus crying on the cross,

Forgive them, Lord they know not what they do,

He died for you,

The world thought he said diminish,

He was telling God it is finished,

Get with the plan and take a seat,

Listen to the words and not the beat,

Jesus came off the cross and landed on his feet,

The world is relying on how we speak,

We got to spit the world, man, we got to teach.

Education without salvation is damnation to the young generation.

When we plant seeds, the tree grows and feeds the multitude in need.
