I cant hold a grudge unconditional tough love
Your set in your ways
Never change, never budge
My Dad would come home from the pub
Hit my mum and not give a damn
A grown man seen through the eyes of son
Someone young trying to make some sense
Of what society expects you to become
Cry die inside going out of my mind
Fell behind at school
Couldn't follow the rules
Didn't give a damn about nothing at all
Life was cruel but love was crueller
She dredged my soul like a deep sea trawler
If I could travel back in time to Christmas in 89
Sonic spinning through my mind on my sega mega drive
I'd try to change my dads mind and meet him down the pub
Tell he's got a son he's got to show some love

Still got the love
Still got the love

My fam stays strong, unconventional,
Peculiar to nuclear fam, pots and pans, plots of land
What's a man to do when he don't do well at school
All your dreams burnt to the seams, fell through
Nobody's true like the stars on channel u
Provide lies to feed your eyes, keep you hypnotised
Fuel prices rise, hit the skys like a high rise
No jobs secure
Prospects are few and far between
Kids exposed to the obscene
Elite drug fiends throw beef to the streets
The police are weak and seek the meeker
Geezers with the reefer in the cheater sneakers
But thats how it is I keep it real bruv
When the going get tough I keep it real bruv
Theres to much bad stuff in the news
To let some bad stuff happen to you
So do what you do and go where you go
Keep your hood up and your head down low
But when you get home to a place thats safe
Show face and give some love embrace

Still got the love
Still got the love

I got love for the people I trust and represent who I respect
All my friends, ends and hiphop heads
Stay true to the game and don't follow trends
I keep it real and I don't pretend
So lend me your ear and I'll make it clear
That fear breads fear, breads fear, breads fear
I got love for the game from back in the day
And I still got the same love and that wont change
I got bug for the crowd buzz for the funk loud
And I aint done yet so I aint going out
I got some much love and so many shout outs
That people think I'm nuts and don't know what I'm about
So let this lout show clout,
I'm loud and proud well endowed with no doubt
That we still got love for the life that we live
So give thanks and praise cause life is a gift

Still got the love
Still got the love
