    Story Behind the Song
    I just wanted to give my point of view on the way people view life in general and give my opinion on what constitutes love and lust. This song was inspired by people's attention to material wealth and the fact that we should value other things in life.

    Lyrics
    (verse 1)
    what is love? someone tell me the definition
    can love be a heaven? can love be a prison?
    it's a big sacrifice to find love in this life
    love is supposed to be the guiding light to shine through the night
    how can you love money? it don't love you back
    or hug you back does love make you lug that gat?
    or sling that crack? does love make you violently react and clap in an environment that's packed with blacks?
    it's the lust for the image, the lust for the bitches
    the lust for the riches not the the love that's within us
    love makes us winners, lust makes us sinners
    lust is fast food love is Thanksgiving dinner
    love your fam and friends when the end is upon
    it's dad and mom standing there with open arms
    you know the songs fake friends are gone in the wind
    love comes from within it's not something you can spend

    (chorus)
    for the love of God people kneel down and pray
    for the love of power people destroy and decay
    for the love of money people get killed everyday
    for the love of anything it's always a price to pay

    (verse 2)
    to hell with loving your car, love your pa
    cause that car that you love
    it dont love you at all
    you love carrying guns
    but don't carry your son
    lusting for other huns and not lovin the one
    at home raising your young
    and preparing your meals
    you come laying and aint even paying the bill
    lusting for wealth
    lusting after lust itself
    don't love nothing
    now you don't even trust yourself
    but life is love and love is life
    so love your wife
    your wife don't like or love that thug life
    you love being the man, measuring grams
    lusting for grands
    and cutting your crack with loving hands
    you love busting a gun or busting a nut
    and knuckling up
    the cops will love roughing ya up
    and cuffing ya up
    you love getting puffed in your truck
    then just your luck its lust
    that's got you stuck

    (repeat chorus)
    love vs. lust, love will win in the end
    lusting for your friend's girl
    you should be loving your friend
    if you don't love
    it's lust that makes you pretend
    never bust for lust
    it's love you wanna defend
    lust is just the devil but love is God
    so love your job, lust makes you steal & rob
    lust makes us blind reality's a mirage
    but it's love that let's us see
    beyond the fasade
    the images you see on TV and lust after
    you are just a puppet
    and lust is your master
    put love in your heart
    so you can find the path
    and realize life is much more
    than women and cash
    you're stuck in 1 spot
    and all the lust you've got
    don't amount to a lot but put love in the pot
    now you're making soul food
    so you can nourish your soul
    and realize love is warm and lust is cold

    (repeat chorus)
