Verse 1 - Bavu Blakes
Concentrate with your mind
I got this little illustration
Trace it line by line
Compliments are fine
But compensations is finer
Money second to time
Let’s think in seconds in time
How much can you give
Be honest, now don’t be lying
The people we say we love
They need donations in time
Cover our eyes to it
The blind’s leading the blind
Open our hearts to it
And what do you see
More love for you and me
Throughout the community now
Just imagine you having your first child
Picture the way they smile when you show up

Chorus - Eric Levels
Do more than just show love, Ya
Got to give love
You Got to give up the love
Do more than just show love, Ya
Got to give love
You got to give up the love
Come on and just throw ‘em up, Ya
Got to give love
You got to give up the love
Come on and just throw ‘em up, Ya
Got to give love
You got to give up the love
It’s more than a show

Verse 2 - Bavu Blakes
Tell ‘em you love ‘em and hug ‘em just to show some
Love bug remember it’s not an emotion
Love is a verb, to pay a debt, a burden
Universal, country ghetto suburban
And overseas we need it just the same
We got so much to gain
By linking up the chain
The fence the enemy is defenseless
Let it commence the energy is relentless

Chorus - Eric Levels
Do more than just show love, Ya
Got to give love
You Got to give up the love
Do more than just show love, Ya
Got to give love
You got to give up the love
Come on and just throw ‘em up, Ya
Got to give love
You got to give up the love
Come on and just throw ‘em up, Ya
Got to give love
You got to give up the love
It’s more than a show


Verse 3 - Bavu Blakes
Got to be present
Diggin down in the trenches
The distance between you and a breakthrough’s inches
Work on ya wishlist don’t expect cinches
And remember every Christmas has grinches
It’s obvious who gets it
When people come around they
Get into it get involved like James Brown say
Perfect attendance, No excuses sho’ nuff
That’s what I wanna be when I grow up

Chorus - Eric Levels
Do more than just show love, Ya
Got to give love
You Got to give up the love
Do more than just show love, Ya
Got to give love
You got to give up the love
Come on and just throw ‘em up, Ya
Got to give love
You got to give up the love
Come on and just throw ‘em up, Ya
Got to give love
You got to give up the love
It’s more than a show


Verse 4 - Bavu Blakes
Can depression be fixed with a bottle of wine
Can a hungry guy eat a peace sign
Can a smiley face replace a hot meal
You heard the saying real recognize real
Can a dap and a half hug pay rent
Can 50 cent get you off the pavement
Do any of these questions make sense
Or are they just statements
Not again, C’mon

Chorus - Eric Levels
Do more than just show love
You got to give love
You got to give up the love
Do more than just show love
You got to give love
You got to give up the love
Come on and just throw ‘em up
You got to give love
You got to give up the love
Come on and just throw ‘em up
You got to give love
You got to give up the love
It’s more than a show
