00:00I think that love is forgiving yourself

00:23I think that love is offering you immediate help

00:25I think that love is everything that we need in this world

00:28I think the key is being honest and being yourself

00:30I think love is understanding that people can change

00:33And loving them anyway through every stage

00:36I read all about love then I gave it to Jade

00:38Love is sharing knowledge, yeah so much to gain

00:41Love is every time I put a pen to the page

00:44If I don't love what I'm doing then I'm hardly engaged, yeah

00:47God you love me though I am flawed

00:49I know I'm not an innocent child but I am yours

00:52And if you're with me, it's safe

00:54I know my body isn't immortal but I am brave

00:57I'm thinking I was real love when it's sincere

01:00I'ma show them I ain't scared, eradicate fear

01:02Say we should let the love set us free

01:05Said that we will never ever crash, fold under pressure

01:10Love getter, use it to do better

01:13We should let the love set us free

01:16See love is something that you can't measure

01:19No judgement, no pressure

01:20It's your letter, your words, yeah

01:23I think that fear's not trusting yourself

01:25I think that fear's keeping true information withheld

01:28I think fear can be exposed in abundance of wealth

01:30And then it creeps in when you're not loving yourself

01:33Fear can be dressed in a form of protection

01:36Fear can be the culprit of slowing progression

01:38Can be impulsive and be an obsession

01:41I think we fear all the answers so we don't ask the questions, yeah

01:44I think that shit is a lethal weapon

01:45I think we fear being naked from the fear of rejection

01:48Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

01:51Why are we obsessed of seeking perfection?

01:54Fear will probably hear this so feel exposed

01:57Fear works best when love isn't close

01:59But love will never judge you because of your pain

02:01Look in the mirror and say I love you unconditionally every day

02:04I wish you let the love set us free

02:08Said that we will never ever crash, fold under pressure

02:12Love get her, use it to do better

02:15Wishing that the love will set us free

02:19See love is something that you can't measure

02:49I remember when they said nothing in life is

02:51Evil spirits cannot enter when your soul is

02:54MJ said he got the tunes I should pull apart

02:57Every time I bust a lyric I would feel a soul

02:59Every time I'm on the stage I would feel a soul

03:02Aunty Simby, what she'd call me when my knees turn

03:04I used to bump the train to college, I would travel 4

03:27I never miss the countdown, it was 5 4
