My Love Is With You Lyrics
I was just walking down the street
Looking forward to seeing the friends I was to meet
Yet what happened so tragically
Really makes for no sense at all
Suddenly two guys confronted me
Saying I was on the wrong turf, angrily
They said their colors were black but I was wearing gray
I started to turn to go back
They up and blew me away
My love is with you where ever you are
My love is with you, where ever you are (repeat)
Though my life they've taken
They can't take what we've shared
Spread the love I've given
And I'll be there
I was out playing with my friends
You know, doing those silly things kids do at ten
But the crossfire I was caught in
Should not have been in the first place
A dropped Monte Carlo came to a screech
Someone yelled "nobody gets away with dissen me"
Across the street a man pulled his nine
Everybody started to run
A shower of bullets rang out
Mistakenly my life was done, oh
My love is with you where ever you are
My love is with you, where ever you are (repeat)
Though my life they've taken
They can't take what we've shared
Spread the love I've given
I'll be there
My love is with you where ever you are
My love is with you, where ever you are (repeat)
When you're joyful
When you're lonely
When you're happy
When tears are streamin right down your face
In the morning
In the noon time
In the evening
In the wee wee hours of the nighttime hour
In the summer
In the springtime
In the autumn
In the cold long winter, winter nights
My love is with you
My love is with you my best friend
My love is with you my brother
My love is with you my sister
My love is with you my mother
My love is with you my father
I'm with you - (repeat)
Ban the hand gun - chant
Looking forward to seeing the friends I was to meet
Yet what happened so tragically
Really makes for no sense at all
Suddenly two guys confronted me
Saying I was on the wrong turf, angrily
They said their colors were black but I was wearing gray
I started to turn to go back
They up and blew me away
My love is with you, where ever you are (repeat)
They can't take what we've shared
Spread the love I've given
And I'll be there
You know, doing those silly things kids do at ten
But the crossfire I was caught in
Should not have been in the first place
A dropped Monte Carlo came to a screech
Someone yelled "nobody gets away with dissen me"
Across the street a man pulled his nine
Everybody started to run
A shower of bullets rang out
Mistakenly my life was done, oh
My love is with you, where ever you are (repeat)
They can't take what we've shared
Spread the love I've given
I'll be there
My love is with you, where ever you are (repeat)
When you're lonely
When you're happy
When tears are streamin right down your face
In the morning
In the noon time
In the evening
In the wee wee hours of the nighttime hour
In the summer
In the springtime
In the autumn
In the cold long winter, winter nights
My love is with you
My love is with you my best friend
My love is with you my brother
My love is with you my sister
My love is with you my mother
My love is with you my father
I'm with you - (repeat)
Ban the hand gun - chant

This, alongside Curtis Mayfield’s “Billy Jack” is one of the most powerful, scathing enditments of the American gun culture of all time. The eerily dancable sound he manages to create with his ahead of the curve implementation of edm instruments is perfectly contrasted by the horrifying lyrics and chants. This is certainly the best thing on the album conversation peace and maybe the best thing he’s written since the golden run (yes I’m putting it above overjoyed, part time lover, ribbon in the sky, that girl, how will I know, skeletons and countless other masterpieces)
If I was a radio DJ, I'd play this every day.
