that love......

that wakes you early in the morning
makes you smile while sitting on the train, just thinking
that makes your heart pulse with nervous anticipation
or relax gently with some soothing conversation
that makes you check and re-check the phone volume
that brings colour illuminating any dark room
yeah, the kind that can knock you out like Mayweather
yet make the heart float, light as a feather
you know what i'm talking bout sistas
will I?

that makes it 'coppa to share your last scoop of ice-cream
that at one moment makes you laugh, scream, steam, dream
the kind that makes you wonder how you've been living without
that you think on non-stop and brag to your girlfriends about
the kind that for no reason makes you wanna sing
songs of happiness and euphoria from the soul within
and gives you that skin that shines on the outside
with the power to break open the shell enclosing your pride
ye, the kind deserving of your mother
will I?

that makes you move and groove without any music
that made you write and re-write this script, call it 'writing music'
man, the kind that is sung on by my soul sistas from Philly
and the brothas that drop it like the 'ahjustwantyoutoluvme'
that made you from the inside wanna be a better spirit
that made you not only believe but live it!
that doesn't mind the face looking back in the reflection
that's found a being with just as many imperfections
acceptance of who i am an ultimately will be
my beautiful, kind hearted brother dressed in mahogany
have we?
