Just a touch of love, a little bit

Say hello to the Ingle-born spitter (spitter)
Sing along to the (ay) tunes out the womb, got my Pringle on
Stacking cheddar, chips they better listen, find they self upon river (float)
Floating in the mainstream, thangs seem bitter (yeah)
Soaking up game from a O.G.
Plenty niggas know me and most of them just wanna feed dinner
To their miniatures, but the Minotaur manure
That they endure daily make the home seem chiller
Cold stares from their very own while feet pitter-
Patter 'cross the floor, and even 'fore he speaks gibber-
Ish plus the lyrics of his favorite deliver
Remand, he sayin' what he hear, so speak clearer
Instead of being raised by cartoons
Ya little mans a fan of rap songs, he bein' raised by tunes
Where the spirit of the lyrics don't deposit him with jewels
And you workin' late hours, so now he actin' up in school (yeah)
And the teacher's overwhelmed, she doesn't ask enough
To move them young souls forward, they steady backin' up
When passin' out passion, I swear, we need our rations up
And this journey is certain to bring us back to love, uh

Just a touch (one touch)
Of love (of love, a little bit)
More than a little bit, we could win on some simple shit
Keep showin' love, we could benefit, especially if you sun-kissed
Sun-kissed child, how dare they treat you rude?
I'll Hershey kiss your wounds
I do see you
Ooh-ooh-woo, uh huh, huh (listen)

She put that on everything that she love, wedding ring and a hub'
With me, she livin' a dream, but that wasn't quite what it was
Knew when she got that ring that her family would level up
Like, "why we just settle down? Now we just settled up"
Still wrestlin' with addiction, knew hubby ain't said enough
He just handed her the pipe, looked at her and said, "a puff
Will take you places you can't imagine or fathom", a drug
Is such a terrible word
Let's say this little substance can numb the pain (numb the pain)
Wait, come again? (Come again?)
We got everything to lose, what you tryna gain? (Tryna gain)
He said, "this can bring us closer, we gettin' older
Just let go and lean on my shoulder like summer rain"
So she put that little rock in the openin'
Hopin' that gesture would demonstrate
Commitment while they both were findin' forever and inhale
Took her to heaven and then hell, but meant well

Sun-kissed child, how dare they treat you rude?
I'll Hershey kiss your wounds
I do see you
Ooh-ooh-woo, uh huh, huh

Sun-kissed child, I'll never, ever walk away from you
That's somethin' I just couldn't do
You're not invisible, you're not invisible, I see you
And everything you go through
Sun-kissed child of mine
I'm here now and down the line
For all time, for all time, you hear?
Watch those parasites and watch all those hypocrites
Stay in the light, just stay in the light
Stay in the light
Stay in the light

Sun-kissed child, how dare they treat you rude?
I'll Hershey kiss your wounds
I do see you (just a touch of love, a little bit)
Ooh-ooh-woo, uh huh, huh

I see you
I see you
Every day God is born
He find himself in human form
He denies himself to find true wealth within
In his tribe, his health is prized possession
Sin is diverting from the rugged path that leads to the truth
And he is I and I am we
