*phone rings*

This is the operator. I have a collect call from

"Hey this yo' potnah main!"

who is an inmate in a California State prison

One love (one love)

ohhhhh (one love) and the V, the V, the V, the V

One love (one love)

Verse One:

Member that game Fat Bank Take Skinny Bank?

Well now we play Skinny Bank Take Fat Bank

That's because it ain't no work bein offered main

They act like they ain't even thinkin bout us main

I promise I swear the po-po threw my homey in the slammer

Did him bad, wish I had my candid camera, made me mad

Vanilla be swarmin like bees surveillance binoculars hidden in trees

Reliable sources copying keys, oh p-uh-please

One for the life, and two for death

Three damn strikes no chances left

Let me tell ya lil bout me

E-40 and the C-L-I-C we used to have to use

sheets for curtains, socks for washtowels

I was happy as hell when my cousin gave me his hand-me-downs

This ain't no happy Shirley Temple talleistic crap

This here is serious more Realistic than Radio Shack

Observe as I strike a nerve, reach out and touch my kind

Open up your photo album man, and I bet you find

Folks that passed away, potnahs that been blasted away

I miss you steal some liquor main, who got some tissue

Chorus: Leviti and E-40

One love (one love) One love

ohhhh (one love)

One love (one love) well well One love

well wellll (there's only one love)

One love (one love) One love

ohhhh (one love)

One love (one love) well well One love

well wellll (there's only one love)

Verse Two:

Erybody wanna shoot em up bang bang

Way I was raised we had to knuckle up and throw them thangs

We got em up and you know I had to check em swell

Cuz if I ran home and didn't fight back my mom'd beat that tail

Just received word from my folks upstate

They said uh, they tryin ta, they tryin ta take away our weights

And uh, no more beef and pork just muslim books and fish fork

and laps around the yard with my Walkman bumpin this

Now I'm bouts ta get married, is it clever

Thought it was, till I got the Dear John letter

Been down for ten bucks and got a eight year stay

And I just found out she had her baby yesterday

Ain't nobody been to see me yet, but I ain't gonna worry

Man ya out there ballin main can you drop a twenty up in my commisary

Uhh, my family thinks that I'm a thug homie

When you see my momma man give her a hug for me

And tell her

Chorus

Verse Three:

Huh, thinkin back, you gotta watch your back and play it well

Enjoyed myself when I was out there tryin ta get in that mail

We used to kick it at the waterfront the whole Vallejo

Watchin the pervin contestses between E-40 and Del

That's what we did up under the bridge fools posted up

Choppin game conversatin gettin toast up

Leanin against my seamless convertible tops and boosted cleaners

Them Click boys mobbin deep in cuts, actin meanest

The good times, they gone, here in the can is my new phone

Guess in order to do some right I had to do some wrong

Picked up a package yesterday and I was HAPPY

It was a box and full of goodies from my PAPPY

Tripped me out ain't seen or heard from Poppa Duke in years

Sent me a picture and some fetti dang they sheadin tears

See first you born then you live then you die

One day soon I'll get another try, one love

Chorus
