Love Don’t Change
(yeah) It don't matter what color flag
you tie to your rearview.
Heartache don't pick sides.
Someone dies,
and the grief stays identical.
Blue laces tied up on the porch at dawn
Praying for my brother while the sirens carry on
You think a set can numb the cold inside your chest?
We bleed the exact same crimson when put to the test
Standing at the casket trying not to show the tear
Mamas out here broken every season of the year
Love don’t change
when you repping on the block It's all the same pain
when that heavy
hammer drop
Somebody dies, another candle on the curb Leaving behind words nobody ever
heard Yeah, love don’t change,
it only bleeds
Crying out for peace is all a mother needs
Carried twenty roses in the pouring southern rain
No amount of banners ever wash away the pain We shook hands
on the corner,
swore we’d make it out
Now your name is painted on the mural down the south A
bullet has no loyalty,
don't ask about your crew Just leaves an empty bedroom painted royal
blue
I close my eyes and listen to the city breathe Another soul
departed, another family grieves
Love don’t change
when you repping on the block It's all the same pain
when that heavy hammer drop
Somebody dies, another candle on the curb Leaving behind words nobody ever
heard Yeah, love don’t change,
it only bleeds
Crying out for peace is all a mother needs
How many tears can one boulevard hold?
Before the young men stop growing old?
It's all the same hurt...
(all the
same) When the soil meets the stone.
Rest in peace to everybody we lost.
Love don't care about the lines in the concrete.
(it's all the same) (yeah)
