So let's make a new beginning and have some fun, woah

To make everything complete all we need is L-O-V-E

[Verse 2: Nas]
Feel this hit bangin' in your residential district
Presidential chipped out, canary rock sizzlin'
Mary hot, pop Cris', shorty got this
Fly angel, my dreams of a queen came true
In this land that's dark, if you my man and you my heart
I blast for you, need bail? Put up the cash for you
Girls who mad loyal die for you
Leave 'em if they acting too fly for you
All up in your mix then in somebody else 6
Quick to put your name in some murder one shit
I'm not the one cheatin' on you or beatin' on you
'Cause I'm laid back, you thought that I was sleeping on you?
Real love make a ill thug feel bugged
Nas analyze, are you trustworthy by the looks in your eyes?
Stay with me, be my dog like Dollar and Richie
She convinced me, all we really need is love, strictly

[Chorus: Mary J. Blige]
Love is all we need to make everything complete
I want to be happy, want to be happy, really want to be happy
Love is all we need and I've only just begun we can love all
'Cause everybody needs love
Love is all we need
All we need, all we need, yeah
Love is all we need
'Cause everybody needs love

[Outro: Nas & Mary J. Blige]
One love, one life, live long
Stay strong (Live ya life, girl)
'Cause everybody needs love
Mary (Mary)
