Song Lyrics

I'm the product of a violent society
But I'm not the violent kind

I started out three years ago
As an enforcer for the mob
Funky rappin' beats are all we pushed
Hearts are all we robbed
And with my posse I built a rep
With the ladies everywhere
Now everywhere that I go
The people stop and stare and say there goes

I'm the godfather of love
I'm the godfather of lust
I'm the godfather of romance
I leave the other guys in the dust

They put me on the hit squad
For the guys who are a hit with all the girls
And late one night
They gave me a mic
And they told me to rock their world
Well, I did just what comes natural
And I guess that's all it took
Cause when it comes to romance
Or a jam to make you dance
Baby I wrote the book

I'm the godfather of love
I'm the godfather of lust
I'm the godfather of romance
Yeah, I leave the other guys in the dust

Take it
Cruisin' down the boulevard
Gangster whitewalls on my wheels
I'm a cross between
Your sweetest dream
And worst nightmare
I've got animal sex appeal
My recipe for sensuality
Is a nectar heaven sent
Cause nothing says lovin'
Like something from my oven
And baby it's poppin' fresh

I'm the godfather of love
I'm the godfather of lust
I'm the godfather of romance
Yeah, I leave the other guys in the dust

I'm the godfather of love
I'm the godfather of lust
I'm the godfather of romance
I leave the other guys in the dust

All the gangsters in the house say ho!

I'm the godfather of love
I'm the godfather of lust
I'm the godfather of romance
I leave the other guys in the dust

All the gangsters in the house say ho
Ain't got time for no ho's
Or cracked out women with coke up their nose
If you want to be with me
Got to stand out from the crowd
My love is the only addiction my lady's allowed

'Cause I'm the godfather of love
I'm the godfather of lust
I'm the godfather of romance
Yeah, I leave the other guys in the dust

I'm the product of a violent society
But I'm not the violent kind
I've fought a lot of battles
But don't need to use muscle
'Cause I beat them with my mind
I've got the fastest tongue in the underworld
But I don't always use it to speak
Cause ladies my actions speak louder than words
If pleasure is what you seek

I'm the godfather of love
I'm the godfather of lust
I'm the godfather of romance
I leave the other guys in the dust
I'm the godfather of love
I'm the godfather of lust
I'm the godfather of romance
I leave the other guys in the dust
Yeah
