Dayo - One Luv lyrics

HOOK One love feeds the fire One heart burns desire I wonder, who's cryin' now (x2) Verse 1 Listen up can you please, I got a story to tell Every day she's on her knee's, though she's lonely as hell Wouldn't tell me her name, but I told her I'm Dale In her eyes was a pain no one bothered to quail So I asked for her story, "not much time, it would bore me" Was her only reply, lady try and ignore me Pretend I'm not here, speak to self if you fear My reaction to what happened in ya' life I can't imagine She never knew her dad, but she didn't seem sad Instead she spoke of fam that seem more like a clan Power to the people, keep the hood away from evil Whole pack dressed in black for attack if they need to It was a better day, it was a better time I'm staring at her face, steady trying to read her mind I follow if I may cause the feeling is I'm blind Turn another page this is history defined (why?) HOOK (x2) Verse 2 Suddenly no sound and her smile is a frown First word is "crack" and the second one is "down" Once a proud panther's now a stray in the pound Ain't just give a n***a pipe, made him trade it for his crown File down his teeth and took away his speech Flood the hood with guns and tighten up his leash Guide his every move and lead him to his doom Whether graves, or a cage, or a smoke filled room Mommies never home on a chase for the rock Leaving babies all alone to be raised by the block Pushers, pimps and prostitutes Seems to be the opportune to plot for loot No matter how she feel she got to choose Maybe she can spread her wings, maybe she can flee the scene Maybe she can live the dream, maybe she can be all three Maybe if she gives up right now, lye down It will all fade away, tears is her eyes now (wow!) HOOK (x2) Verse 3 She's on to a new hustle, make it rain to a puddle Push a product to the youth that really never knew her struggle Make them act a way and say some things that they Don't understand, but it's cool cause it comes with a dance Pimp him to the system, just forget him he's a digit Before you picket her existence Take a listen, she's a victim A prostitute as well, selling all her soul For the diamonds and the gold Eat the bread and the mold Dreaming of her father's crown before they brought him down I swear that she's about to drown, not another round You used to hold us up, my lady sober up Tell me how you pimping if you only hold the cup? Who's taking all your change, banking off your fame? Who made off your pain, ejaculated on your brain? Raised one fist, gave my forehead a kiss Would I rather this or she cease to exist? (sh**) HOOK (x4 to fade)
