[Verse 1: Ingrid]
They don't wanna hear it, I complain too much
Either she chiefin' or she thinkin' 'bout pain and love
What we gon' do when the climate of the world changes up
And we realize our level of consciousness just ain't enough?
It's too much self-neglect and not enough self-respect
Mistakin' money for wealth, mistakin' love for sex
We all do it
I'm so guilty of wanting to break rules and live filthy that it's stupid
What do you get from being evil to people?
A boost to your bruised ego and free will?
Huh, tell me, tell me, tell me what you love
Is it your love for power, or the power of love
That's gon' save us when shit gets dark?
You gon' leave me your wallet or you gon' give me your heart
I'ma light up this doobie, is you gon' give me a spark?
Nigga, shit is what it is and we are who we are, but I'm tryna change things
[Chorus: James Fauntleroy]
Woah-ooh, woah-ooh, woah-oh
Love is a strange thing
I want the same thing day and night
I wanna change things, make it right
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
[Verse 2: Ingrid]
A lot of people be fighting, but without a purpose
A lot of niggas be dying and they did not deserve it
Even the greatest of greats are overcome with doubt
Right before them lights come on, shit could get hella nervous, but it's worth it
'Cause anything easy would just weaken our strength
Our motivation is we could be them
The bottom feeders or the richest in the universe could peak and then dim
Ain't no floating, either we sink or we swim
Yeah, I know you wanna dock that yacht, light that 'gar
Point shit out then swipe that card
You'll never be a fraud declined
From now until forever you avoid the line
If money is the devil, then the Lord be lyin'
Who the fuck is we praising, your God or mine?
'Cause I only know of one and he don't rap
He took a hell of a lot of stones, but he don't trap
I ain't religious, my spirit is realistic, I'm honest, I'm rare and gifted
But these niggas taking long naps and I'm tryna change things
[Chorus: James Fauntleroy]
Woah-ooh, woah-ooh, woah-oh
Love is a strange thing
I want the same thing day and night, oh, woah
I wanna change things, make it right
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Woah-ooh, woah-ooh, woah-oh
Love is a strange thing
I want the same thing day and night, oh, woah
I wanna change things, make it right
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
