Freestyle Friday vol 1 (That Ain't Love)





I'm bringing back the Freestyle Friday to the 12th Planet.

Each Friday, I will feature a hip hop verse for you. In the verse, I will highlight a line or two that stands out. Feel free to comment about the verse


Verse of the Week...That Ain't Love - Little Brother

[Intro]

Uhh, yeah, love 
You know we always, we always talkin 'bout love 
We always thinkin 'bout it y'know 
I'm in love, I want love, I need love, whatever 
But like sometimes I wonder With all the hurt and pain that people that supposedly love you put you through 
Is that really love? 

[Phonte] 

We would go to each other's houses, sleep on the flo' 
Crash on each other's couches, work like kings and 
eat like paupers, now my heart palpitates 
just thinkin 'bout all the stress that came up out this 
Started out hard, goin for the long haul 
Put all of the bullshit and hoes on pause 
Shit got major we, stacked a little paper now 
Couple years later can't get a phone call 
Hold up~! Big fish in a little pond 
Swimmin 'round town, thinkin like we already stars 
And they say that money change you, but money don't change you 
It just make you more of what you already are 
Hope our kids do better than we 
Hope he and she learn to stick together when the times get ugly 
I've been misconstrued, lied to and abused 
But my fam still swear that they love me man 

[Chorus] 

If this is love, I don't wanna see hate 
If this is real, I don't wanna see fake - I'm sayin 
Cause I don't know how much more I can take 
I know that, all of y'all can relate - I'm sayin 
Uhh, if this is love, I don't wanna see hate 
If this is real, I don't wanna see fake 
You know that ain't love love, that ain't love love 
That ain't love love, that ain't love love 

[Rapper Big Pooh] 

You were the, right hand, my man 50 Grand 
Us gettin dollars was all part of the plan 
A few years back we cut ties, you understand 
It was all business, nuttin person-al 
And you vowed to come back a different person now 
we are back on track, and time heals wounds 
Nothin showed me you came back too soon 
Yeah, once again you and I to the tune 
We brought you on tour, put money in your fist 
You fucked up plenty and got slapped on the wrist 
That's it! And everytime the brothers grand mack 
The topic would arise about you bein kept 
The Lord says forgive I will never forget 
Shoulda picked up the phone when the times got ugly 
I've been misconstrued, lied to and abused 
But my fam still swear that they love me man 
Aww sheeit~! 

[Chorus] 

[Jozeemo] 

"I'ma ride for my n$#%^z", I figure that's what they all say 
It's foul play when cuttin throats is your forte 
Do it how you wanna be done, that's what the Lord say 
Daps and hugs, but turn your back and get the swordplay 
I'm sure you say I got it all wrong, it ain't like that 
I sent you all them letters, guess it's better you ain't write back 
Despite the fact you told me plenty tears you had to fight back 
All lies, surprise, I ain't diss you with no spite track 
I know you'd probably like that, but never will I hit your level 
You gon' dig your own grave, focus when you grip the shovel 
I should be pissed as ever, but I'm the bigger brother 
So I'ma keep it movin while you get your shit together 
Our bonds was severed, but all you had to say was fuck me 
I smelled your bullshit, consider me lucky 
I've been misconstrued, lied to and abused 
But my fam still swear that they love me - ain't that a bitch! 

[Chorus] 

{*sung ad libs to fade*}


Love...whether its with your family, significant other, or friends...can be difficult. 

(song)
