Spread Love Lyrics - Singles - Uptown Xo

[Verse 1] 

I'm in a position that's rare, diamond in the rough 

Used to living without a care, cussing on the bus 

I grew, transformed, shed some ways like snakeskin 

Flew, did tours, and looked icons in their faces 

Only thing different is opportunities given 

Brushing shoulders with niggas I used to bump up in the system 

Moves niggas made were strategic 

Seeing niggas rap tomorrow, yesterday was on some street shit 

Nothing outside of you controls what you do 

And to claim what you declare? Well that becomes a part of you 

You are what you eat, we was fed the streets 

Slave trade ingredients, boats on the beach 

You know the story, American Gangster, the Glory 

Denzel played both parts, I'm DC's Mozart 

Before, we was chocolate city, another story 

Few remains left, preserve it, can you assure me? 

Mention a big brand, we all go shopping 

Blogs write about it, and we all go cop it 

Ricky got killed for his new foamposites 

Keeping up got us stuck, let's talk about it 

Grew up in the hood so niggas wanna get out 

But they can't, cause the lifestyle has got us divided 

A gallon or pint size, give him a swallow 

A shot and you might die, blame it on karma 

[Hook] 

Uh 

Shed love (love, love, love) Uh (love, love, love) 

Spread love (love, love, love, love, love, love) 

Shed love (love, love, love, love, love, love) 

Spread Love 

[Verse 2] 

They don't know, but they will soon 

I was a monster, with goblins and real goons 

But I still bring the heat like the real June summer 

Y'all niggas will see what's on real soon 

Sue me if you saw me weaved in but I was born to 

A six-star general, dreams like a real Jew 

And our ancestors was on the field too 

Masters descendants on the Forbes list, top 2 

Fuck the government, what I'm loving is 

Fucking with the people, ain't dead if we alive, they suffering, love again 

Mothership hovering, trying to warn us 

Come again, some of them want more bucks 

We running them, bunions, they pedicured up 

And it's more niggas rapping 'bout getting poured up 

Low income housing, in the clouds and 

Loud in the air, that's high-quality browsing 

Champagne drowning, baptized in rap lies 

Got 'em blasphemous, my affairs are black tie 

Smoking cannabis, a sun to your sapphire 

Know the savages, won the game by halftime 

No parameters, system was God-written 

Body God-made and my gift God-given 

Even the blind see in their dreams, come on nigga 

When we say we about to go off, it's on niggas 

[Hook] 

[Verse 3] 

Overdosing on info, knowledge is power 

Can't be stuck in no job making dollars per hour 

You know Star Wars they was talking about us 

And Planet of the Apes they was talking about us 

You know Avatar they was talking about us 

We in the Matrix, a whole lot of shit is fucked up 

Our brothers would kill us for some money, just to buy a coupe 

Know how it feels, once upon a time I was you 

I would do anything for it at my lowest point 

We would have had Jews and Nazis smoking joints 

Herb is the healing of the nations 

How is it unlawful when God said it's sacred? 

Got my brothers passing judgement on me 

Same God that made us made the weed and the trees 

Was born next to 'em so I be with the thieves 

Was right next to 'em, getting blood on my jeans 

Lost in the sauce in my earlier teens 

Probably would have smacked you, you wasn't worthy to speak 

Only a chosen few were exempt from the "speak when spoken to" rule in the pit 

Everybody want a way out 

Borderline of the hood, the sign say "Stay Out" 

Inside niggas got guns and shit to weigh out 

"Grandma, we making money, there's nothing to pray 'bout!" 

Sounds of the vibrations, let it play out 

[Hook]
