Verse 1:
Currently I'm chasing it, the dream that I'm embracing is the same one that MLK was awakened with / I’m not a King but the movement that I bring is quite Majestic. This won't be so easily accepted / Directed by a higher power don't you understand? I refuse to play into the judgment of another man. *Lawd* / The past is in the past to bring it back I won't demand, but now certain people’s jealousy has gotten out of hand / Look, boundaries were overstepped and mouths were overran, but I simply turn the other cheek and show them what I am / A man of higher character, their actions are nefarious, truth is that the hate is like the fuel we use to bury ya / Message from a man who's not afraid of mass hysteria, I think you think you're justified but you're more like Brittany Spears to us / That's all I'm going to say until the truth's revealed, and I am just a mirror exposing the lies that you conceal.
Chorus:
Love, sweet love, speak love, cause there is something more /Love, sweet love, speak love, cause there is something more in store for us...
Verse 2:
I never knew that this was how it'd be. With more exposure comes more expression of hatred from people that I got surrounding me / Guess everyone gets there turn to try and teach what I should learn, but they disguise opinions behind comments of concern / No, I'll never claim accomplishment for things I haven't earned. But when it's me I'll say it's me and you will have to let it burn / This is the path of the persecuted I am ready for my trial, I will elevate above and greet my judgment with a smile / I won't be out here in public going nuts, that's not my style. Plus, that's just evidence for future haters to compile / I'd rather starve them of attention and finish up my quarter mile, hit the finish line and celebrate while they are in denial / Guess I'm feeling validation of my vision being realized, they like to hear themselves talk so they can feel wise / Pure power never power trips that's word to Mos Def, you can say I made it I’ll just say I'm making progress.
Chorus:
Love, sweet love, speak love, cause there is something more /Love, sweet love, speak love, cause there is something more in store for us...
Verse 3:
Here goes my lap of victory, ain't chasing fame, I'm after history, will I see it that is half the mystery / I ain't want the crown but, now I'm looking at it differently. Success is so seductive now I'm flirting with a different me / My two feet on the ground, above the clouds is where I'm meant to be. My words will move the crowd even after half of a century / They will have to bow and show respect every time they mention me. This ain't arrogance this is exactly what ascension means / You are now a witness to my process of re-centering; wash away the energy of hate before reentering / There is no spoon; the only thing that really bends is me and that's why I embody everything thing that they pretend to be / I’m a reflection of the message that was sent to me. Return to sender please that is my prayer while down on bended knee / I'm a vegetarian that’s why I don't get into beef; the burden that I'm carrying reminds me why revenge is sweet.
Chorus:
Love, sweet love, speak love, cause there is something more /Love, sweet love, speak love, cause there is something more in store for us...
