Nothin But Love

Straight outta Oakland, California where we spark it on ya Give a shout out to my partners in the darkest corners I remember drinkin Hennesey, smokin weed Fantasize about the things we`d grow to be Had a partner named Snoop, loved to clown a stank Smoke a pound a day, commenced to down a drank Shooting craps in the alley til they chased us off Pour a little for my homies but don`t waste it all Oooohweee, who popped that coochie best? On my tattooed chest is where the hoochies rest Having house parties in a crowded spot And you can tell it`s hot, they talk loud a lot Everybody wanna dance when the slow jam come Lookin dumb, cause you waitin for your chance to hump Straight grindin, everybody havin fun And it`s cool til a fool pull a loaded gun Cause another dude kicked his Bacardi over He had to act a fool now the party`s over Gun shots rang like it`s thunder And everybody bum rushing and I`m rushing to get a number Says she got a man but she`s lying Why? I seen her talking to this other guy and.. he`s a dealer so you know she gonna sweat him I ain`t trippin I just hope he get em, I got nuttin but love Ain`t got nuttin but love for ya I`m down for yours, nuttin but love Ain`t got nuttin but love for ya I`m down for yours, nuttin but love Ain`t got nuttin but love for ya I`m down for yours, nuttin but love Ain`t got nuttin but love for ya I`m down for yours, nuttin but love Ain`t got nuttin but love for ya I`m down for yours, nuttin but love I love to go back, to the block I got my game from Cause uh, old man still drinkin, his breath still stinkin He`d love to tell ya what he`s thinkin But I can`t diss him he`s my elder He been livin here longer what that tell ya?
