Why let this world just wait on your shoulders?
Pick it up, push it off, before you let yourself get colder,
Just look into the eyes, the good eyes of a child,
and see that love rise like a river and float for a thousand miles

Gimme some,
Peace, love, happiness (peace, love, and happiness)
Peace, love, happiness (peace, love, and happiness)
Alright now,
Come on get to me

Breathin' deep, feel your heart beat
Just to know that life's worth living
Feel your feet on the earth, you better love it while it's still here spinning
I got no time to worry about troubles on ...
You gotta let it flow, let yourself go,
cause if you're hatin, you sure ain't living

Gimme some,
Peace, love, happiness (peace, love, happiness)
Peace, love, happiness (peace, love, happiness)

Come on get to me,
Lookee here-
Lotta people talking, somebody to listen,
Lotta people struggling,
Gotta ring the bells (?) start giving

Peace, love, happiness (peace, love, happiness)
Peace, love, happiness (peace, love, happiness)
Come on, now

You gotta give it up!

I go and eat this daily bread,
but so many people starving,
How come the presidents just build more bombs
when nations start dissolving?
With all that money spent on guns 'stead of food and education,
Need to buy a little peace and love instead, start the healing of the nation

Gimme some,

Peace love happiness x20

Chilling out on a ridge, by the sea, in a ranchido
Cool breeze through the trees sings a song so sweet
For my baby and my boo boo,
asleep they lay,
so I picked up my guitar and I started to play.
The music was pulsing blood up to my eyes
I surmised the horizon, sun rising, surprising the hell out
of the clouds
like they were kissed for the first time.
The sun was steady rising and I'm sitting in the sunshine

I hear my baby crying and he's just waking up
so I walk through the screen door and I go pick him up.
Rocka, rocka, rocka, rocka, rocka, rocka back and forth.
Baby quit crying then I'll go and play some more.

Soft and sweet melodies while your momma's sleeping
let her sleep in late this morning
let her sleep 'til the sun is burning down
burning down down down

Baby baby hold my fingers with your little tiny hands.
While we lounge in a hammock checking out all the land.
I smell the sweet scents of papaya and lime.
I smell the ocean breezes, the salt,
and my mind is captivated by your big brown eyes,
which remind me of mine.
Now I know we're two of a kind.
Rocka, rocka, rocka, rocka, rocka, rocka back and forth.
Baby quit crying then I'll go and play some more.

Soft and sweet melodies while your momma's sleeping
let her sleep in late this morning
let her sleep 'til the sun is burning down
burning down down down
burning down, burning down, burning down

The day is getting brighter and the wind is breezing down.
The whole tree is shaking, fallen fruit is on the ground.
I smile when I'm thinking about the love I've found.
Momma's still sleeping so we play these mellow sounds

Soft and sweet melodies while your momma's sleeping
let her sleep in late this morning
let her sleep 'til the sun is burning down
burning down down down

burning down, burning down, burning down

Oh snap! My plans come undone.
I’m freefalling darling
And the rising sun is blushing on your cheek
Shining steady through the blinds.
I thought I told myself that I would take my time.
I’m sure I said I wasn’t ready.
She said she wasn’t looking.
It’s not my fault that she’s so good looking.
But she’s just my type.
But I was holding single life my plan infallible.
She said she’s emotionally unavailable.
Whatever that means.
I’m down with that she kicked the cat out kid.
So I didn’t call back.

Clouds are running through the sky.
Shifting shapes and I know why.
They say that life is what happens when you’re busy making plans.
Wind blows the sand.
I start to understand you and I are meant for each other
And we’re gonna be together when the world starts to crumble.
Say hey hey. Lemme hear you say hey hey

Two weeks past
And I still didn’t call
But your name was in my brain
Like graffiti on the train
I couldn’t buff you out.
I didn’t have your number.
I saw you on the bus
And you were chilling with some other guy.
I was like damn I was jealous but I had no claim.
Then you gave me a look
And a smile just the same.
Then 3 hours later my phone did ring.
It was you asking me would I like to chill.
At this corner bar on the block
That was real laid back and I’m like yeah it’s on

Clouds are running through the sky.
Shifting shapes and I know why.
They say that life is what happens when you’re busy making plans.
Wind blows the sand.
I start to understand you and I are meant for each other
And we’re gonna be together when the world starts to crumble.
Say hey hey. Lemme hear you say hey hey

No one knows what tomorrow will bring.
But you can fall back on me when you can’t win.
This world is moving faster.
Tougher everyday.
Oh baby just take a deep breath and let your troubles all fade away.

I showed up late
That really teed her off.
We couldn’t agree on much
But the vibes were strong. Basically,
I fell in love with those big green eyes.
You could say what you want cause I was mesmerized.
Now 3 years later
And it feels so fresh we stick together
Sunshine, stormy weather.

Clouds are running through the sky.
Shifting shapes and I know why.
They say that life is what happens when you’re busy making plans.
Wind blows the sand.
I start to understand you and I are meant for each other
And we’re gonna be together when the world starts to crumble.
Say hey hey. Lemme hear you say hey hey
Now 3 years later and it feels so fresh

Ohhhhhhhhhh.. (exhale)
Can I get you on film doing that?
What? No, no, not on film
We'll get a f'ing court case
...put it on YouTube...
Don't put anything like this on YouTube

Who's got the weed?
I got the weed
Who's got the weed?
I got the weed

My momma always used to say,
Hey G, baby, don't smoke the reefer
It will make you lazy
I really should have listened
cause she might have saved me,
but I was too young and I was too, too crazy
but I got so much love for my mother
but still I praise the j, then I pass it to a brother
cause a friend for me, is a friend indeed
and I got plenty of friends that smoke a lotta weed
no seeds, I roll the herb in a cone like a tornado
pass around a circle real fast, like a hot potato
and then i feel my fingers grip, reality start to slip
the joint is now a roach cause i just had a huge hit
of the carba vapors... vapors vapors vapors.... vapors vapors [cough]
and I'm singing

Who's got the weed?
I got the weed
Who's got the weed?
I got the weed

Hit that Pharcyde crew see, yeah you know they smoke a lot
sip Henny, living with skinnies
I know they poke a lot
I know they got pot in japan
by some bobo cops and ... like flo-jo
I know he smoke that hydroponic chronic on the low go
and skimpy claimin' sober but I know he wanna go-go ... graduated from being fair to being wasted
tastin' life that you never tasted
wheres the big party, just a little bit more than average,
caps, stems, lettuce and cabbage
I know they got the papers so that we can cast the vapors,
freestyle, awake the neighbors, I know he wont forsake us
pick up some dirt, put em work like undertakers
if they don't, then just break 'em off, they gotta bake
makes you humble for the pot, I know he's accustomed to the cake
come on, lets listen to some six-pack of crumbs and shake

Who's got the weed?
I got the weed (look at his eyes!)
Who's got the weed?
I got the weed (his eyes are allll crazy)

I got the crip, crip
I keep it next to my hip
I'm going to the airport, I'm going on a trip
I hope I don't get slipped by the feds
cause I got this ounce of buddah right down my leg
yo, its not cool!
It's stinking up the whole damn row,
The stewardess is lookin' at me, and I think that she knows
I try spraying my body down with all this cologne,
but the stench is creeping into the front row,
It's just the homegrown from the backyard,
keep it in my pocket if I go to the bar
So if you wanna hit, just buy me a drink
and don't worry, I got more of that funky green shit

Wanna smoke this?
I dont know...
Lets not get out of hand with this now... haha
And I'm singing

Who's got the weed?
I got the weed (look at them eyes, man)
Who's got the weed?
I got the weed

And I'm singing

Who's got the weed?
I got the weed... (I got it)
Who's got the weed?
I got the weed

Hey man, talk to me man
What? Huh? What?
What were we just...
What were we just talking about?

Every once in a while, gotta use my superpowers,
Even though saving the world outta style,
It ain't my fault all this bad stuff is happening
but now its time i put my foot on down

aaaawwww baby,
my love don't seem the same

no no

They save love's all you need to heal the world,
plus a trillion billion dollars have you heard
There's president bush, santa claus and green goblin
saddam hussein, spiderman, and bin laden
brittany spears, jesus, and the whole cast of friends
met for brunch last week to solve the world's problems
well they called on me

aaaaww baby
my love don't seem the same

Well if they called on my name don't you know i'd do it
shine my signal over Gotham, I'll be true
It is my distinct pleasure to come down from my grass
get off of my front porch and save all your asses

and in the nick of time too

awww baby
my love don't seem the same

Well change has come over me, my muscle's growin
so i freestyle my ass 'cross the USA
Solve the economy the homeless problems, save what's left of the environment
create jobs for everybody doin somethin that they wanna be doin
Yeah, well if you can't do smack then you better do something
cause this is the time when you so can't do nothin
well that mean's you, and you and you and you and me too

aaaaww baby

Then I'd fly overseas and set all the slaves free,
from prostitution, sweat shops, child labor,
solve the myriad of problems in the middle east
make a sun powered car, we won't have to fight for oil fees
And i'll take all the troops back, from where ever they roam,
and where ever they fightin, and whatever side they're on
and i'll send them on the first flight home to their mom's
we could make coffee tables out of all these bombs
and save the whales, and the pigmee marmasetts too.

aaawww baby

well it seems kinda hard but it really ain't nothin,
all you gotta do is get bit by a spider or somethin,
we could change the world in a week or a day
and if you got problems man i'll sweep them away,
if you find yourself in a world full of trouble,
just call on G. Love, the superhero brother

and, i'll be there
yeah
i'll be there
huh
i'll be there
mmhhmm
i'll be there

aaaawww baby
my love don't seem the same
no no no
