Jamel Michael Lewis - New Tradition (Part II) [Single] Lyrics

If the word say to love one another
Then why we judging every book by y the cover like
Uhn uhn uhn uhn uhn
Uhn uhn uhn uhn uhn

I got an idea
Let's start a new tradition no religion
I'll give y'all a second for that to sink in
Because some of y'all are thinking I'm saying to throw the word out
I'm saying to keep the word in and put all of the hurt out
Cause hurt people hurt people
The wrong word from the pulpit could hurt people
And now we got a neighborhood full of hurt people
And what you think they gone do
They gone hurt people
Like her skirt too short
Her back slide too big
Or he got too many tattoos and too many kids
Like you ain't never did nothing
The things you did
Might not have come to the light cause ain't nobody flipped the lid
You probably should've checked yourself
I'm pretty sure it's been some times you ain't respect yourself
God told you to go right but you went left yourself
Now you're out here looking crazy all by yourself

If the word say to love one another
Then why we judging every book by y the cover like
Uhn uhn uhn uhn uhn
Uhn uhn uhn uhn uhn
If you don't know me well and I don't know you well
We don't know each other so
We don't need to judge like uhn uhn uhn
Uhn uhn uhn uhn uhn
If the word say to love one another
Then why we judging every book by y the cover like
Uhn uhn uhn uhn uhn
Uhn uhn uhn uhn uhn
If you don't know me well and I don't know you well
We don't know each other so
We don't need to judge like uhn uhn uhn
Uhn uhn uhn uhn uhn

The devil is a liar
While we're preaching to the choir
The choir ain't listening because we done lost the fire a
And we can't understand you like you're speaking through the wire
I don't even know what you're saying now
Like it's too much static
What about the drug dealer
What about the crack addict
I don't know
What's the prostitute to do when she's hurt now
If the alcoholic act up
Just tell him to sit down
Tell him "we got you bro"
There's a whole lot of drama in the air
You done found us in a place where we don't care
I hope that y'all ain't mad at me
I'm just trying to find the strategy
Cause sometimes it's like we don't care at all
We just want to talk and pass their drama on
We got to do better y'all

If the word say to love one another
Then why we judging every book by y the cover like
Uhn uhn uhn uhn uhn
Uhn uhn uhn uhn uhn
If you don't know me well and I don't know you well
We don't know each other so
We don't need to judge like uhn uhn uhn
Uhn uhn uhn uhn uhn

If the word say to love one another
Then why we judging every book by y the cover like
Uhn uhn uhn uhn uhn
Uhn uhn uhn uhn uhn
If you don't know me well and I don't know you well
We don't know each other so
We don't need to judge like uhn uhn uhn
Uhn uhn uhn uhn uhn
