Spread Love - Mick Jenkins

South, south, south, south, south, south side

South side, south side

Spread love, spread love, spread love

(south side, souths side, south side)

South side

Inside, outside, up, right, down

Southside 'round 91st and Cottage Grove

I done seen a lot of failures still I found myself a lot of goals

YCA was where I found myself

I started using lead to harness gold

It’s way easier to smile, let your local hatin' ass nigga know

Learning patience fast, sippin' slow

All this water in me, I’ve been water bendin' on the southern side of the 'go

I got martyrs with me, ship is chartered

We’ve been on a mission, lowkey expedition

Using intuition, losing inhibition just to get

But only inches through the door

To put you on some shit you didn’t know

This ain’t no poser shit, on some Moses shit

You can see it swimming through the flow

See, I done told you this but gotta show you this

You know actions do a little more

I quit the fantasies and started planting seeds

Tryna usher in a little growth

My nigga we been on our way up, I won’t say a lay up

But love is easier than what they show

You should know

And they be asking, «what do love got to do with the point?»

It’s the soothe in your water, it’s the truth in your joint

All that gold is overrated

What do you do with your coin?

We gon' try to spread some love with it

Spread some love

We gon' try to spread some love, ain’t nobody got to know

Buyin' water by the jug, I’m the plug

What you want, what you need?

(Buyin' water… by the jug, I’m the plug, baby,

Buyin' water… by the jug, I’m the plug)

Not the hate, if you hatin' nigga don’t now

Spread love, spread love, spread love

Spread love, spread love, spread love

Spread love, spread love, spread love

We gon' try to spread some love, ain’t nobody got to know

Buyin' water by the jug, I’m the plug

What you want, what you need?

Not the hate, if you hatin' nigga don’t now

Spread love, spread love, spread love

Spread love, spread love, spread love

Spread love

Cause what a nigga really got to say to me, huh?

I just let my little light shine

I guess that’s why they wanna throw shade at me, huh?

Cause we’ll say, «I love you» and never show that shit

That ain’t okay with me, try to spread love on the daily

And the recoil like I got a AK with me

I bet the hater shit don’t take you far

Breathe, stretch, shake, let it all go like Ma$e wit me

I brought the water in a mason jar

I’m trynna build, that’s masonry in the literal sense

Some people got a literal fence around they heart

Mine’s on my sleeve, and I’m out here sleeveless

I ain’t finna plead with these niggas to fuck with me

I keep it a buck fifty

Tryna follow in the footsteps of Jesus

Hopin' you can keep up with me

The basics of his message was love, the basics just loving yourself and

projecting that love onto others

Treat the next man like a brother

And I know it’s hard if you know his words

Then you know it’s God

And they be asking, «what do love got to do with the point?»

It’s the soothe in your water, it’s the truth in your joint

All that gold is overrated

What do you do with your coin?

We gon' try to spread some love with it

Spread some love

We gon' try to spread some love, ain’t nobody got to know

Buyin' water by the jug, I’m the plug

What you want, what you need?

Not the hate, if you hatin' nigga don’t now

Spread love, spread love, spread love

Spread love, spread love, spread love

Spread love, spread love, spread love

We gon' try to spread some love, ain’t nobody got to know

Buyin' water by the jug, I’m the plug

What you want, what you need?

Not the hate, if you hatin' nigga don’t now

Spread love, spread love, spread love

Spread love, spread love, spread love

Spread love
