HARD LOVE
(RKB, 2008)
1.) Hard Love! - Rockin' motions, and spinnin' your wheels,
But you ain't getting' no traction.
Hard Love! - Pampered boy, it's time you faced
The consequences of your actions.
Hard Love! - I guess yo' papa never took you to the shed,
He just shook his finger, then patted your head.
Hard Love! (You need it bad) Hard Love! Hard Love!
2.) Soft love. - Everybody needs a little protection,
The kinda love yo moma brings.
Soft love. - Everybody needs a little sweet favor,
Good for princes, but it won't make ya king.
Time to rise up and change the score.
Count all your soldiers, and get out to war.
Hard Love! (Right now) Hard Love! Hard Love!
M8.) God don't make promises that he don't keep.
And sometimes the shepherd's gotta get a little rough with the sheep.
Discipline's not pleasant, and ya don't need to yell,
But it's the kinda love that'll keep ya from hell.
(INSTRUMENTAL)
3.) Hard Love! - Kisses of the enemy just deceive,
But faithful are the wounds of a friend.
Hard Love! - Man needs to know just what he can b'lieve,
He's better for it in the end.
Every child's different in the way that he trains,
But chasten your sons while their hope remains,
Hard Love! (Real love.) Hard Love! Hard Love!
