Yeah a 1,2, a 1,2 a 1,2, 2
Yeah a 1,2, a 1,2 a 1,2, 2
Yeah a 1,2, a 1,2 a 1,2, 2
Back to the days, cold burritos were hot lunch
The only one taking my picture was Life Touch
A product of the Catholic School experience
Because of recess right now you're hearing this
Back when holding hands was the only romance
And I was just a shorty getting down at the school dance
The world is your oyster was planted in my mental
And it could be mine at the stroke of my pencil
Chasing songs on the radio with cassettes
Without the airwaves, no me, I owe a debt
Back when Moms wasn't having all the cursing
And every CD I bought was the clean version
Back to the days of young innocence
When it was all was simple and it made sense
To understand where I'm going, this is where I'm from
Dedicated to yesterday, it's all love
This is dedicated to the ones we love
To the ones down here, to the ones up above
This is dedicated to the places we've been
From the here, to the now, to the way back when
It's all love baby, it's all love. Yeah
It's all love family, it's all love. Yeah
It's all love mama, it's all love. Say what
It's all love homie, it's all love. Uh huh! A come on
Back to the days before I was a man
Before I started rockin' with a microphone in my hand
Before the women, and the muscles, and the tats, and the fans
I'm talking way back when, when the story began
I was born June 28th 1988
In the City of Angels, hailing from the Golden State
The early years were full of speech therapy
Partial deafness left anything but clarity
Back when doctors said take special ed
But moms was ride or die and didn't care what they said
Went from destined to fail, to unlikely
To look at me now, I got a college degree
One trick pony, add martial artist and MC
But I could not be if no one believed in me
So now, I express my gratitude
Grab a globe, it runs longer than earth's latitude
This is dedicated to the ones we love
To the ones down here, to the ones up above
This is dedicated to the places we've been
From the here, to the now, to the way back when
It's all love baby, it's all love. Yeah
It's all love family, it's all love. Yeah
It's all love mama, it's all love. Say what
It's all love homie, it's all love. Uh huh! A come on
Back when the biggest stress was Friday's test
And how to pick my battles and not waste my breath
Cleaning my kicks with a little Windex
Rockin' FUBU jerseys and a cheap neckless
Back with my cousins kicking Cool Kids routines
And my girl was the Jet Mag Beauty of The Week
And busting my face doing MJ's lean
And reading Marvel Comics every night before I dreamed
Back when Ahmad Rashad was my main man
Playing Heads Up 7up and Hangman
For my mother and all of her birth pains
This is for my father who handed down my name
This is for my sister, watching everything I do
And if you got love for me, dedicated down to you
You mean the world to me and please don't forget it
Love is life when you give it and you live it
This is dedicated to the ones we love
To the ones down here, to the ones up above
This is dedicated to the places we've been
From the here, to the now, to the way back when
It's all love baby, it's all love. Yeah
It's all love family, it's all love. Yeah
It's all love mama, it's all love. Say what
It's all love homie, it's all love. Uh huh! A come on
Make some noise if you with me
And show some love if you feel me
And if you down with the sound of H.F.P
Let me hear you say, Aw Yeah, Aw Yeah
Make some noise if you with me
And show some love if you feel me
And if you down with the sound of H.F.P
Let me hear you say, Aw Yeah, Aw Yeah
This is dedicated to the ones we love
To the ones down here, to the ones up above
This is dedicated to the places we've been
From the here, to the now, to the way back when
It's all love baby, it's all love
It's all love family, it's all love
It's all love mama, it's all love
It's all love homie, it's all love
It's all love homie, it's all love
