Love is a beautiful thing.
Andile Mpangele 1984 (Western Cape)
How much love do you have that you are reflecting/ don't answer that, let me recite for a second /
About a special thing that this world is neglecting/
Now, I was under the impression that love was refreshing/
So chill, I’ma still break it down for the session/
It’s been around since the day this world was born/
And since then it has taken many shapes and forms/ sort of rainbow colors /
Like the kinship ties of love between brothers/
To the passionate type, shared amongst lovers/ love is beautiful, but also a lethal weapon, ask Danny Glover /
Once love is released it can bring inner-peace/ and spread like a virus in the streets / it will heal all cold feet to aching wrists/
The same way I love rocking over these ill beats/
It’s a treat sweeter than your favorite dessert/
But even at the same time I know love hurts/
If your love stands strong, let no one stray it
If someone gives it to you, don’t you ever betray it/
No matter what the cost you would be wiser to pay it/
I could flip it many ways, but the best way to say it is / show me some love that l can cherish before l perish/ or even before I go to Paris/
