  • Love on the low, love everywhere I go
    And I can't face it all I need is right where I belong
    Love on the low, love everywhere I go (yeah, yeah, yeah)
    And I can't face it all I need is right where I belong (uh, uh, yeah)
    (Yeah, yeah)
    (Yeah, yeah)
    (Uh, yeah)
    (Uh, yeah)
    (Yeah, uh)
    (Uh, yeah)

    My ears are ringing, my palms are shaking, my heart is racing
    Somebody's mama's heart is aching, can't take it, partly fainted
    Found his body parts in awkward places, like apartments, basements
    Garbage vacant, lots, garages, spaces, Harlem's far too spacious
    Sometimes I wish I could get away and charter spaceships
    To get away from my inhuman race with hearts of Satans
    Kick off my Mason Martin's, lay on back like Martha Mason
    Smoke away my eye and lung 'til later die at 71, uh

    I lay down now
    (This someone's journey in the streets who gotta keep a piece, peace)
    I lay down now
    As I lay me down to sleep I pray to God I rest in peace
    I pray the Lord my soul to keep

    Gentrification split the nation that I once was raised in
    I don't recall no friendly neighbors face on my upraising
    Back in my younger days or razor blades with gangs who bang and never stood a chance
    Some boys don't dance, but left 'em Harlem shaking
    On the pavement
    And my generation fucked, and my society
    Very trippy pages in my diary
    It's the irony how LSD inspired me to reach the high in me
    Used to never give a damn now I don't give a fuck entirely
    I think my pride died in me, somewhere inside of me, it's gotta be
    A whole 'nother side of me
    If you seen the shit that I'd have seen in 26 years of living
    That's how many fucks I've given

    Love on the low, love everywhere I go (yeah, yeah, uh)
    And I can't face it all I need is right where I belong (uh, uh, yeah)

    I lay down now
    (This someone's journey in the streets who gotta keep a piece, peace)
    I lay down now
    As I lay me down to sleep I pray to God I rest in peace
    So, so

    Love on the low, love everywhere I go
    And I can't face it all I need is right where I belong Writer/s: Brian Joseph Burton, Oliver Joseph Fox-Williams, Rakim Mayers
