If you're stronger

And it's the only thing that will keep
Us together
First we fight, then we fall asleep, then

With a kiss and a promise we won't
Do it again

That nobody wins
Can you tell if we've gone too far
To come back again

Tonight we drink to youth
And holding fast to truth
(I don't want to lose what I had as a boy.)
My heart still has a beat
But love is now a feat.
(As common as a cold day in LA.)
Sometimes when I'm alone, I wonder
Is there a spell that I am under
Keeping me from seeing the real thing?
Love hurts...
But sometimes it's a good hurt
And it feels like I'm alive.
Love sings,
When it transcends the bad things.
Have a heart and try me,
'cause without love I won't survive.
I'm fettered and abused,
I stand naked and accused
(Should I surface this one man submarine?)
I only want the truth
So tonight we drink to youth!
(I'll never lose what I had as a boy.)
Sometimes when I'm alone I wonder
Is there a spell that I am under
Keeping me from seeing the real thing?
Love hurts...
But sometimes it's a good hurt
And it feels like I'm alive.
Love sings,
When it transcends the bad things.
Have a heart and try me,
Love hurts, Love scars
Love wounds, and mars any heart

Everyone says don't give him no more chances
He don't deserve them at all
You ignore them letting him right back in
So all this pain is your fault
You blame him for your tears
But you keep giving in
No, I don't think you're really getting it
You are you're
You are you're worst enemy
Cause you give him everything
When you know it's love, it's detrimental
You're able to stick around
So take you're eyes off the ground
You are you're
You are you're worst enemy
You're hurting yourself cause you open your door
Before you wake up he's gone
Cuts like a knife when he don't care to call home
Then you excuse all the rules
You blame him for your tears
But you keep giving in
I don't think you're really getting it
You are you're
You are you're worst enemy
Cause you give him everything
(I don't think you see it)

I really learned a lot,
really learned a lot.
Love is like a flame,
it burns you when it's hot.
But love hurts.
But love hurts.
Love hurts in my soul,
finding it hard, girl, to let you go.
Look into my eyes,
you know they can't hide
all the pain that I'm feeling
deep down inside.
They say love's a flower;
in the morning it grows.
So why do I feel this pain in my soul?
You're so precious to me;
that's why it's hard for me to let you go.
If I didn't love you, girl,
it wouldn't hurt me so...
I know it isn't true,
I know it isn't true
love is just a lie
made to make you blue.
Love hurts.
Love hurts.
Love hurts inside.
Look into my eyes
the pain I can't hide.
Love hurts,
love scars,
love wounds
any heart.
But I'm not
so tough
or strong
enough...
to take a lot of pain,
take a lot of pain.
Love is like a flower,
holds a lot of rain.
Love hurts.
Love hurts.
Love hurts.
Love hurts inside.
Look into my eyes
(Riperton -Rudolph - Henderson)
You've been found shot down
Crossin' over love's borders, yeah
You found out with out a doubt
Now that she did it back to you
You never knew
Love hurts when love hurts
Love hurts baby, that's the news
Love hurts when love hurts
Yeah, love hurts until you're black and blue
No money, no honey
Stole your love and your diamonds, too
She hurt you, desert you
And there's nothing you can do
It's down on you
Remember when I tried to warn you
You cheatin' ways would come down on you
That love hurts, love hurts
When love hurts baby, that's the news
Love hurts until you're black and blue
You know you know it hurts

Capsules are time to me
Through out appears to be
A portal at my front door
Honest to the dark strain
Being alone is like, Wanting you so bad but
Needing you so much more
Honest to the dark pain
I would jump into anything for you
Maybe the exit is where you enter through
I don't know when I fell,
but I love it down here
Misery is just a crack I fall into sometimes
A crack I fall into sometimes
But I love it down here
They must have come over to me while I was dazed
Outsiders test new drugs on people,
They just dump them some where for the cops to find,
Naked and confused
I've never felt so relentlessly used
Capsules are time to me
Through out appears to be
A portal at my front door
Honest to the dark strain
Being alone is like, Wanting you so bad but
Needing you so much more
Honest to the dark pain
I would jump into anything for you
Maybe the exit is where you enter through
I don't know when I fell,
but I love it down here
Misery is just a crack I fall into sometimes
A crack I fall into sometimes.
Baby, we see through one way mirrors, don't we
You see it the way that is, I see it the way it could be
The more personal information I reveal,
You look at me when I judge you
The closer of friends we have to become
But don't look at what I look like
I would jump into anything for you
Maybe the exit is where you enter through
I don't know when I fell,
but I love it down here
Lovin' hurts baby sometimes
Don't you agree
I promise to love you for life
Girl you will see
Dry your eyes baby
There's no need to cry, no, no, no
He broke your heart baby
So won't you give my love a try, baby
Girl, why don't you dry your eyes
There is no more need to cry
I won't hurt you like he did
I got so much love to give
What you need is a man like me
Who can give you all you need
You don't have to be sad no more
Love is knockin' at your door
Lovin' hurts baby sometimes
Don't you agree
I promise to love you for life
Girl you will see
He left you lonely
Left you drowning in tears
Yes he did baby
Now when it comes to love, babe
You have nothing but fears
You don't have to be afraid baby, no
I know love has done you wrong
But girl, you must be strong
Girl, just put your trust in me
I'll show you how love should be
I won't do you like he did
I got so much love to give
Girl, would you hold me tight
I'll love you with all my might
Lovin' hurts baby sometimes
Don't you agree
I promise to love you for life
Girl you will see
Lovin' hurts baby sometimes
Don't you agree
I promise to love you for life
Girl you will see
Lovin' hurts baby sometimes

[Chukie Akenz: Talking]
I'd Like To Dedicate
This Song
To All My Fellas
The Fellas Who's Been
In A Relationship
Who Just Had Thier Fucking
Hearts Torn Out
U Kno What I Mean
And I Realize
That Alot Of My People
Suffer From Heart Breaks
So Yo Check It Yea
[Rap/Verse:]
From Promises To Lies
To Every Tear Drop That We Cry
The Promises To Care
And Understand Eachothers Lies
From Struggles At Their Worst
We Said The Luv Would Never Change
So Why Do I Feel Lied To
Everytime It Seems
We Said We Had Eachother
Unconditional Luv
If This Is What Luv Is
Then I Think I've Had Enough
The Bullshit And The Drama
Was Nothin But Wasted Time
This Thing That We Call Luv
Is Jus Illusions Of The Mind
All The Smiles That We Have
Is A Story To Be Told
Nothing In This World
Could Make Up For All This Bull
The Problems That We Face
Was Something Just Reaching Out
We Should Of Took The Hint
That This Shit Won't Be Workin Out
I Mean What Were We Thinking
All Those Times We Were Together
Did U Really Think That
We Would Be In Luv Forever
At This Very Age We Shouldn't
Be Playing This Game
Now I Understand
That Luv Is Pain
[Chorus:]
Luv Hurts So We All Cry
Tears Droppin From Ma Eyes
The Pain I Can't Explain
All I Kno Is
Luv Is Pain
Luv Hurts So We All Cry
Tears Droppin From Ma Eyes
The Pain I Can't Explain
All I Kno Is
Luv Is Pain
[Kangel: Rap/Verse]
Through These Past Few Days
I've Been Reminicing Back
It's The First Time I
Couldn't Understand What We Had
Was It Luv
Was It Pasion
Was It All A Waste Of Time
Now It's Hate
Now It's Pain
Now It's All This Shit Combined
I Can't Force Myself
To Erase All Our Memories
When I'm Thinkin Back
It Always Feels Like U Fooled Me
Nobody To Blame But Myself
For Being Blinded
Cryin In My Sleep
Hopin This Hurtin Passes By
I've Been Told By My Sisters
How These Guys Are All The Same
But U Had Me So Convinced
That My World Suddenly Changed
U Always Made Me Smile
But A Smile Isn't Forever
I Guess It's Unpridictable
Like Change In The Wheather
I Thought We Worked It Out
Like Those Other Times Before
But The Truth Had To Reveal
We Can't Live A Lie No More
I'm Still Young
And I'm Still Tryin
To Stay Tru To My Heart
My Dreams Have Disappeared
Now My Lifes Scattered Apart(Nooo)
[Chorus:]
Luv Hurts So We All Cry
Tears Droppin From Ma Eyes
The Pain I Can't Explain
All I Kno Is
Luv Is Pain
Luv Hurts So We All Cry
Tears Droppin From Ma Eyes
The Pain I Can't Explain
All I Kno Is
Luv Is Pain
[Talking:]
This Is Me Kangel (Luv Is Pain)
Dedicating This Song
To All My Gurls
Who've Gone Through Breakups
Who Have Felt The Pain
Of Losin Someone U Truelly Luv
And Who Has Lost All Hope
In Their Dreams
But Remember
There Is Someone
Truelly Special Waiting
Love hurts, love scars,

Some fools fool themselves I guess
But they're not fooling me
I know it isn't true,

Love is just a lie
made to make you blue
Love hurts, Love scars, Love wounds and mars
Any heart not tough or strong enough
To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain

Such a funny thing
That you want me back again
Well it's too late now
You're finding out that love hurts
Well I don't know why
Why you said goodbye
And I don't know when
The fire left your eyes
You said you felt your need
Your need for me had died
And now I see your heart is breakin'
You're the one that's cryin'
Love hurts
It's a crying shame
Love hurts
Such a funny thing
That you want me back again
Well it's too late now
You're finding out that love hurts
You pushed me out the door
Right on outta your life
You said that you were sure
I'd never be your wife
You kicked me in my pride
But I came through the other side
It's sad to see your smile has gone
Your heart's the one that's dyin'
Love hurts - whoo - Love hurts - yeah - Love hurts -
whoo
Love hurts - yeah - Love hurts - whoo - Love hurts -
yeah - Love hurts - whoo
Well it's sad to see your heart is breakin'
Love hurts, love scars, love wounds and mars
Any heart, it's not tough or strong enough
To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain
Love is like a flower, holds a lot of rain
Love hurts
I'm young, I know, but even so
I know a thing or two I've learned from you
I really learned a lot, really learned a lot

Eversince addicted to her drug a dog who caught a scent
My mind head open doors blood on mamas girl has left a dent
And if there was easer pain stay on the my jt is payin rent
Times like these usually never enter my zone
So used to playin like bonds
How I bring the runners home
Coulda been a double vision the attack of the clones
But I'm chasing after a girl that kisses men with ice cream cones
Her fruit be lookin tight-ready for take it she lookin right
Myspace-touchin keys-you can say I'm feelin' her tight
She will never be left [? ]

Yellin' yo name in the darkest fire ready to write
So let's keep the switch on keep goin' just don't turn off the light
Pull me out like a match and I'm ready to strike
[Chorus:]
Girl I

And I'm addicted to little things you do

Together forever girl-just me and you
And I know the feelin you feelin is the same
I would trade it all- ya -the fourtune the fame
Just to be by ya side
Girl you know what they say
Tonight we drink to youth And holding fast to truth (I don't want to lose what I had as a boy.) My heart still has a beat But love is now a feat. (As common as a cold day in LA.) Sometimes when I'm alone, I wonder Is there a spell that I am under Keeping me from seeing the real thing?
Love hurts... But sometimes it's a good hurt And it feels like I'm alive. Love sings, When it transcends the bad things. Have a heart and try me, 'cause without love I won't survive.
I'm fettered and abused, I stand naked and accused (Should I surface this one man submarine?) I only want the truth So tonight we drink to youth! (I'll never lose what I had as a boy.) Sometimes when I'm alone I wonder Is there a spell that I am under Keeping me from seeing the real thing?

Growin up as a kid I never understood the things my dad did
Like hittin my mother, me and my brother hid
In the parlor from the chaos, the cryin and the cussin
The fightin and the fussin
I used to go to bed holdin my ears tight
Filled with fear when I hear moms and pops fight
I never quite understood what the reasons were
How could he love my mother if he kept on hittin her?
I don't know, but what I do know is this
Love hurts when it's comin from the throw of a fist
And the list goes on from the mental to the physical
Use of verbal abuse, beatdowns, it ain't cool
It's bad enough we got it rough in society
Opression and poverty, no need to be fightin e-
ach other, a brother hits a sister, and he's a bigger nigga
He ain't nothin if he gotta hit, pick a
Innocent victim three times smaller in size
Head honcho, macho in whose eyes?
Only a fool tries abuse to utilize
Phyisical force to control, hurt, brutalize
Time for change, to rearrange the chain of thought
Unball your fist and think of the pain was brought
To the hearts of your brother or your sis
Love hurts when it's comin from the fist
[Def Jef]
Now I want you to think of six women that's close to you
And I want you to think if somebody was beatin on em
What would you do?
[VERSE 2: Def Jef]
I wish my step pop would stop hittin on moms
She got bruises on her arm from protectin her face from harm
Bein done he looks at me and says, "What you're seein, son
Is me disciplinin my woman
You're gonna hate me for the rest of your life
But this is my wife"
And I'm thinkin I wanna stab him with a steak knife
Too little to interfere, I wish he would disappear
But he won't, so I put the pillow over my ear in fear
Dreamin when I get to be a man I'ma stand up to him
If I see him hit her again I'ma do him
I encourage her to go, she says, "No
I love him, I stay"
"Mom, what you see in that idiot anyway?
He beats you and mistreats you
Daddy wouldn't do that"
But she said: "Your daddy did it too"
Ain't that much love in the world to be gettin bruised for
Used, abused or even singin the blues for
He's addicted to inflictin abuse, he said he'll quit
If he's the one with the habit, then why you always takin the hit?
A weak later the same shit - I doubt it
I'm grown now, mommy, don't even worry about it
(In 20% of child abuse cases a spouse will be involved in)
[VERSE 3: The Poetess]
I was twelve years old when daddy started to get rough
Puff in one hand, the other holdin a glass of that 80 proof stuff
He never got enough, I thought he was tough, but it was all a bluff
I tried to understand and got verbally beat down
But I thought one day he would come around
But man, oh man, was I mistaken
Nothing's right in his life and the abuse I was takin
I was accused of things I never thought of
Good grace got no praise
But I got a lotta negative words thrown in my heart like a dart
With the point of steel
Killin me softly at his will
The big one came when I got the blame for
Not bein the joy of a boy that he aimed for
One day I came home, he was sittin in the chair by the front do'
Just waitin to let go
(Where you been all night, out hoein?)
He didn't raise, rolled up in his gut, I got a blow
And that was it, the last hit, he'll ever do
The pearl handle was popped and cocked and it blew
The only thing on my mind was payback, let's say that
I've put an end to that madness and pray that
I can overcome what mentally dad did well
While I count the days in my padded cell
(Several women a day are killed by ah, battering)
[Ice Cube] (Listen to the hit)
[VERSE 4: Kool G. Rap]
Does he love her or does he hate her?
That's what I'm thinkin as I look at mommy hooked up to a respirator
It started with a smack
And that smack became a punch and then a kick and then a broken back
But mommy never dropped dime
Now she's damn near blind, yo, what the hell is on my pop's mind?
I feel like gettin daddy done in
And put like one in his gun and pull the trigger and start runnin
Man, I see the walls turnin red
I'm gettin kinda fed so instead of the lead, how bout a burnin bed?
In order for my mother to last
So while he's laid up, straight up, I be puttin some gas on his ass
Blow him up like a grenade
And this is for all the times my mother used to wear shades
Tryin to cover the damage he did her
So when that fire's on your ass you remember how you hit her
[The Poetess]
This is a special dedication for my sister Dee
and all the sisters out there that have been physically and mentally abused
I like to send a special thanks to Def Jef
And my sister Almighty
and definitely Mister Kool G. Rap
