[Intro: Q-Tip]
Love…love…love…I believe
Yeah yeah

[Chorus: D’Angelo]
I believe, that’s love
I believe, that’s love
I believe, that’s love
I believe, that’s love

[Verse 1: Q-Tip + (D’Angelo)]
When ya give back from what you receive (That’s love), ya know
When ya hold me down and made me believe (That’s love), ya know
When ya see, oh, she let you go (That’s love), ya know
And when we say “Ho!”, y’all say “Ho!” (That’s love)
Don’t think about it when my back is turned
I know you’re right there for me and I won’t get burned
Love shows itself in so many ways
That we sometimes overlook it in the course of a day
Don’t be mad, girl; you used to be sad, girl
But now that we got this, forget what we had, girl
And see the forest from the trees
It’s not windy, it’s just a breeze, ya know

[Chorus: D’Angelo]
I believe, that’s love
I believe, that’s love
I believe, that’s love
I believe, that’s love

[Verse 2: Q-Tip]
When a Blood and Crip put down they rip (That’s love), ya know
When you’re in the club and you move to this (That’s love), ya know
When your fam is fed and they rest their head (That’s love), ya know
And bring them home now, that’s what we said (That’s love)
I’m on your stereo and I’m in your video
When I’m gonna put the keyed on a nonstop stream
I really can’t stop but I hit y’all with a drop
“Hey, y’all, this is Tip on W-E-DREAM”
W-E-D-R-E-M—request this then show love to me, fam

Come on, come on, come on…

[Chorus: D’Angelo]
I believe, that’s love (Repeat until end [28X])

Jonathan Davis (born April 10, 1970), aka Kamaal Ibn John Fareed, aka Q-Tip is a rapper and producer known as a member of A Tribe Called Quest, the hip-hop group responsible for helping popularize “jazz rap” and releasing classics such as “Bonita Applebum,” “Scenario,” and “Electric Relaxation.” After Tribe released their fifth album in 1998, Q-Tip launched his solo career, releasing three albums and popular singles such as “Vivrant Thing” and “Breathe and Stop” before reuniting with Tribe in 2016 to release the group’s final album following the death of his rhyme partner Phife Dawg.

Q-Tip also produced on a number of other projects during his time with Tribe, most notably for Queens representatives Nas and Mobb Deep on their classic albums Illmatic and The Infamous respectively. In 1995, he connected with producer Jay Dee aka J Dilla and Tribe’s DJ/producer Ali Shaheed Muhammad to form the production crew The Ummah, and the trio produced and remixed tracks for Busta Rhymes, Janet Jackson, and Michael Jackson. Tip also produced for Run-DMC, The Roots, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, and he also worked with both Jay-Z and Kanye West on their Watch the Throne album.

Q-Tip currently has his own Abstract Radio show on Apple Music’s Beats 1 station.
