Rick James - Bring On The Love

"This is Rachel Smith. In the news today, the tragic death of 10-year-old Marcus Jackson is being investigated."
"This is Bob Tucker for KADA News. Tragedy struck the inner city today, when 10-year-old Marcus Jackson was accidentally shot down during a crack deal in South L.A."
"Another child shot dead. 10-year-old Marcus Jackson was killed by a stray bullet during a crack deal gone wrong. This is the second child killed in two in what seems to become an epidemic."

Poor Mrs. Jackson stares at the coffin
Tears fall like raindrops, down her Black face
The preacher is screaming, people are crying
Children are dying, oh what a shame, what a shame

Yeah, where is the love? Mmm-mmm-mmm
Yeah, where is the love?

Down on the corner, brothers are standing
There's people demanding the evil in their sack
Later on they're smoking, eyes, they're heartbroken
Pockets on empty, voice crying out "Give me crack!"

Where is the love? Yeah
Where is the love?

Bring on the love (Love, love)
Killing's got to cease
We unity and peace
Bring on the love (Love, love)
Calling out to you
You know what we must do
Bring on the love

"This is Barbara Hunter of KDIA News, with the latest update in the brutal shooting of young Marcus Jackson. The police finally have found the suspect, Donald McKenzie, notorious urban drug lord."

Donald McKenzie lives in a high-rise
He watches as time flies from 20 stories up
Doesn't really matter who dies tomorrow
He'll show no sorrow, he'll show no blame of his own

Where is the love? Mmm-mmm-mmm
Yeah, where is the love?

All of the dealers, soul-snatching stealers
Pray and remember, God knows your name
You are the reason people are dying, and mothers are crying
You are at fault, you're the blame

Yeah, where is the love? Mmm-mmm-mmm
Know what I'm sayin'? Where is the love, y'all?

Bring on the love (Love, love)
Make unity the call
Calling one and all
Bring on the love (Love, love)
Black-on-Black, it's time
We need to stop the crime
Bring on the love (Love, love)
There's nothing else to do
Now people, it's up to you (Love, love)

Bring on the love
Bring on the love (Love, love)
Bring on the love
Bring on the love (Love, love)
Bring on the love, yeah
(Love, love)
(Love, love)
