Maybe we aren't so different after all
And they're just the same as me and you
I need it, I need it, I need it, I need it
We all need it
I need it, I need it, I need it, I need it
One love, one love, one love
I need it, I need it, I need it, I need it
We all need it
I need it, I need it, I need it, I need it
One unconditional love
Through the eyes of a broken heart, nothing looks the same
In the streets, no sign, and she ain't begging for change
Given to the addiction, living a life in vain
Introduction to the game, taught at a young age
By a man that her worth was determined by what she gave
Now something meant for love is the way that she's getting paid
Ain't trying to change lanes, the road that she's on is paved
Boulevard of Broken Dreams, it's normal up in her brain
Thoughts can't be tamed, and she about to lose it
Life is a magician, she caught in an illusion
Makeup and high heels cover up bruises
Opportunity gets drowned out by excuses
She ain't choose it, but gotta live with it
The mind state of somebody who just wants to forget it
She blames herself, not knowing she's already acquitted
So I put her story in a song, hoping she would hear it
Maybe we aren't so different after all
And they're just the same as me and you
I need it, I need it, I need it, I need it
We all need it
I need it, I need it, I need it, I need it
One love, one love, one love
I need it, I need it, I need it, I need it
We all need it
I need it, I need it, I need it, I need it
One unconditional love
About a year ago the Lord took her spouse
She think it was the devil though
Park her truck at the neighbor's house
Cause Chevrolet's trying repo
One woman raised two sons and a nephew
Cause her knees locked
With good behavior and time served
He'll be two when she get out
If she make it that far
Her money short and her nerves bad
Ain't combed her hair in about three days
Cause the job said don't come back
If she make it that far
Food long, she struggling
But she raised in South Park
No house was ever hustling
They took the truck, she got a cash car
It barely ran, but it ran
Baby done ran every leg of this race
But now she on her last one
Haters taking just one
Whole fist full of prescriptions
Dropped the kids at her mama house
Gave custody to her sister
On the ledge when the devil pushed her
That grace is sufficient
Now because her blood is white
I've injected her with the Spirit
Now my mama's still living
Bet it baby, you did it
So I put your story in a song
I pray to God she hear it all
Maybe we aren't so different after all
And they're just the same as me and you
I need it, I need it, I need it, I need it
We all need it
I need it, I need it, I need it, I need it
One love, one love, one love
This is the story of a child
Brought up in a two parent home
Taught not to be wild
Fought not to be forgot in the ninth grade
That be the year that he find his place
Year that he find faith
Before that, not at all what you expected
Straight A's in school, but the farthest from perfection
Like college applications, layups and bad breath is
He tried his best, but still surrounded by rejection
Yeah, so he lived life in the background
Silence was his best friend, pinned down, wanna tap out
Give up on his life in hindsight, looking back now
Never would have thought in a million years that he'd rap now
Yeah, but I'm glad he never gave up
Three different worlds that all needed the same love
Same God that come to the world to save us
Wrote it in a song so I remember where I came from
Maybe we aren't so different after all
And they're just the same as me and you
I need it, I need it, I need it, I need it
We all need it
I need it, I need it, I need it, I need it
One love, one love, one love
We all need it
One unconditional love
