Eve - Love Is Blind

Eve is a Philly rapper/actress that was big in the late 90s/early 2000s as a part of the Ruff Ryders. This song was on her debut album Let There Be Eve...Ruff Ryder's First Lady. Looking back, I really miss songs like this..uplifting and motivational songs from strong women in hip-hop. Now we have Nicki Minaj talking about her ass...

"Love is Blind" tells the story of a friend who was murdered by her abusive boyfriend, a fate that befalls far too many women. Physical and emotional abuse is a serious situation and can turn deadly at any time. There are many warning signs and if you or anyone you know may be in an abusive relationship, please seek help immediately before it's too late!

Lyrics:


Hey, yo I don't even know you and I hate you
See all I know is that my girlfriend used to date you
How would you feel if she held you down and raped you?
Tried and tried, but she never could escape you

She was in love and I'd ask her how? I mean why?
What kind of love from a nigga would black your eye?
What kind of love from a nigga every night make you cry?
What kind of love from a nigga make you wish he would die?

I mean shit he bought you things and gave you diamond rings
But them things wasn't worth none of the pain that he brings
And you stayed, what made you fall for him?
That nigga had the power to make you crawl for him

I thought you was a doctor, be on call for him
Smacked you down 'cause he said you was too tall for him, huh?
That wasn't love, baby girl you was dreamin'
I could have killed you when you said
Your seed was growin' from his semen

Love is blind
And it will take over your mind
What you think is love, is truly not
You need to elevate and find

Love is blind
And it will take over your mind
What you think is love, is truly not
You need to elevate and find

I don't even know you and I'd kill you myself
You played with her like a doll and put her back on the shelf
Wouldn't let her go to school and better herself
She had a baby by your ass and you ain't givin' no help

Uh-huh big time hustler, snake motherfucker
One's born everyday and everyday she was your sucker
How could you beat the mother of your kids?
How could you tell her that you lover her?

Don't give a fuck if she lives
She told me she would leave you, I admit it she did
But came back, made up a lie about you missin' your kids
Sweet kisses, baby ain't even know she was your mistress

Had to deal with fist fights and phone calls from your bitches
Floss like you possess her, tellin' me to mind my business
Said that it was her life and stay the fuck out of it
I tried and said just for him I'll keep a ready clip

Love is blind
And it will take over your mind
What you think is love, is truly not
You need to elevate and find

Love is blind
And it will take over your mind
What you think is love, is truly not
You need to elevate and find

I don't even know you and I want you dead
Don't know the facts but I saw the blood pour from her head
See I laid down beside her in the hospital bed
And about two hours later, doctors said she was dead

Had the nerve to show up at her mother's house the next day
To come and pay your respects and help the family pray
Even knelt down on one knee and let a tear drop
And before you had a chance to get up

You heard my gun cock
Prayin' to me now, I ain't God but I'll pretend
I ain't start your life but nigga, I'm ma bring it to an end
And I did, clear shots and no regrets, never

Cops comin' in, watch me goin' to jail
Nigga whatever my bitch, fuck it my sister
You could never figure out even if I let you live
What our love was all about
I considered her my blood and it don't come no thicker

Love is blind
And it will take over your mind
What you think is love, is truly not
You need to elevate and find
