AGAPE LYRICS:

This empathy’s a funny thing, the love below, a love supreme
I’ve read about this crazy love thats living FOR THE LOVE
I used to love her, I was made to theres no other
As for music every season is the same you know I do this FOR THE LOVE

(LOVE LOVE LOVE)
Its quite the embarrassment, for me to see the plight of Americans
When in sight speaking Arabic (than) you’re a terrorist
But whites who would carry sticks with rhetoric shared with Hitler are spared from the very list
They wish on any immigrant who has shared their midst
Man I would need a therapist, their affairs are fair but you bare a fist
No one cares to listen to their position in this
(LOVE LOVE LOVE)
For reals to deepen a man we fathom, type of treatment I can't imagine
So I’m meeting you with compassion when I do this FOR THE LOVE
(LOVE LOVE LOVE)
Its awfully awkward when a man wants to box you in
They’re telling you to smile but they’ve never been a mile in your moccasins
‘Cause often men are then brought to sin mansplaining their doctrine
When its automatic “spouse in the house” they’ve locked them in
(LOVE LOVE LOVE)
They followed a rotten trend and they thought that their women won’t stop them by hoping to not offend
But God within died for you, set the example thats not pretend
To deepen a man we fathom, type of treatment I can't imagine
So I’m meeting you with compassion when I do this FOR THE LOVE
(LOVE LOVE LOVE)
Its very disheartening, that if you ain’t openly partnering with us blacks
They label you “bigot” but facts would say you don’t see what your partner sees
A part from being the product of a different scene, we ain’t different we run on consistent genes
Just asking don’t listen in passing or do it indifferently
Live to become the man you wish, if you disagree I won’t brand you as a “racist”
Table the labels and open the manuscript
(LOVE LOVE LOVE)
For reals to deepen a man we fathom, type of treatment I can't imagine
So I’m meeting you with compassion yo I do this FOR THE LOVE

This empathy’s a funny thing, the love below, a love supreme
I’ve read about this crazy love thats living FOR THE LOVE
I used to love her, I was made to theres no other
As for music every season is the same you know I do this FOR THE LOVE
This empathy’s a funny thing, could you be loved, a love supreme
I’ve read about this crazy love thats living FOR THE LOVE
I used to love her, one love there is no other
As for music every season is the same you know I do this FOR THE LOVE

(LOVE LOVE LOVE)
Its truly tiresome, to get profiled then have to decide “should I try to run?”, ‘cause I don’t know under his badge if he’s real or a violent one
Priors? None. As he approached from behind my trunk inside I sunk
I’m riding clean, his hands beside his gun
(LOVE LOVE)
Incited some despair now inside I’m done, the backup arrived they come and then box me in
I’m scared that I’m leaving inside of one
(LOVE LOVE LOVE)
For reals to deepen a man we fathom, type of treatment you can't imagine, so please meet me with compassion when you see me FOR THE LOVE
(LOVE LOVE LOVE)
Its totally troubling, when your better half’s womb is bubbling, but the baby inside is struggling’
Have you ever received a burden that has never been seen or heard of? The most cleverest doctors nervous
Have you ever pretended to be strong when your wifey just couldn’t keep on, cause the life created together they’re saying as quick as it came could be gone?
To deepen a man we fathom, a treatment you can't imagine, so please meet me with compassion when you see me FOR THE LOVE
(LOVE LOVE LOVE)
For reals its vexing me, like a venomous message hexing me, I ain’t benefit yet from the work done thats upsetting me
(LOVE LOVE LOVE)
For years Ive kept this dream, when nobody would believe I bet on me, though I body every beat I bless it don’t reflect on streams
(LOVE LOVE LOVE)
For fear of wretched things, I grind in rhyme to death but find the checks don’t meet the needs I failed my wifey and my seed
For reals to deepen a man we fathom, a treatment you can't imagine, so please meet me with compassion when you see me FOR THE LOVE

This empathy’s a funny thing, the love below, a love supreme
I’ve read about this crazy love thats living FOR THE LOVE
I used to love her, I was made to theres no other
As for music every season is the same you know I do this FOR THE LOVE
This empathy’s a funny thing, could you be loved, a love supreme
I’ve read about this crazy love thats living FOR THE LOVE
I used to love her, one love there is no other
As for music every season is the same you know I do this FOR THE LOVE
