(Talib Kweli) |
|
Yo, we're going to have the word love |
|
In many different languages |
|
Translated all through the track. |
|
So, whenever you hear the word love |
|
Know that, it's going to be in a different language |
|
The language of love cannot be translated, yo |
|
Love is blind, you just see bright light |
|
You up in the club feelin' the night life, lookin' for the right type |
|
Blood rushing to your heart making it beat |
|
When she swept you off your feet and made it complete |
|
You know the plan you had to conquer the world |
|
Thinking you Scarface, looking for that perfect girl |
|
And now you found her |
|
Started with romantic, then got to frantic |
|
Then things thats normally small become gigantic |
|
Now y'all sinking like the Titanic here come the panic |
|
When Im with you like a habit without you I cant stand it |
|
It's tragic when you wonder when you lost that magic |
|
Without understanding that you never had it try to grab it |
|
In the bed can't get a nut off, communication cut off |
|
Getting mad cause you turned or wondering where she shut off |
|
Constantly comparing you to someone in my past |
|
We don't smile anymore, and we argue over cash |
|
Advance to that physical shit |
|
See what happens if you keep talkin |
|
See what happens if you lay a finger on me motherf... |
|
Yo, see what I'm sayin' |
|
It's like one big mind game that everybody playin' and |
|
Niggas say bitches is trife, bitches say niggas is |
|
We just don't understand our fundamental differences |
|
I'm still learning though, actually |
|
I just do what come naturally, naturally, naturally |
|
Chorus |

|
(Talib Kweli) |
|
Women thrive on emotions, men refuse to acknowledge |
|
So when we arguin' nobody win |
|
Words get in the way time and again |
|
Sticks and stones break your bones words break your heart |
|
Whether you in touch with that part or not say "word" |
|
Words are weapons for the revolutionary |
|
Used for evil make the situation very scary |
|
Word up, but love is brave |
|
It flies in the face of fear |
|
Yo, wherever you want to go love'll take you there |
|
Let's go, you know a flower that grow in the ghetto |
|
Know more about survival than the one from fresh meadows |
|
It got love for the sun, that's where I'm coming from |
|
Spit and it's smashing cause the love rockin' over drums |
|
Word, I put my love into my music |
|
If you with me then you love how I do it |
|
If my heart you're livin' in your ocean I'm swimmin' in |
|
Never drowning got me floatin' watching you in slow motion |
|
Love potion overdosin' approachin' |
|
The explosion of my senses everyday without your heart |
|
Is like a sentence in jail |
|
Trust I'll always be mentally free |
|
You got the key to let it out I'll show you how it could be |
|
Love,(you need that) it aint nothin' but a word |
|
A chicken aint nothin' but a bird |
|
Yo, yo, yo |
|
Chorus |

|
(Talib Kweli) |
|
Some of you love that material bug |
|
Love enter my life like a miracle and |
|
It reciprocal that's why I'm feeling you love |
|
We exibit our natural behavior |
|
Like making love under the moon in Jamaica |
|
Get you so hot you call the name of the creata |
|
The morning we hop back into action again |
|
Up on a wall love how the sun liking your skin |
|
Remember when we explored the beach |
|
Swam in the ocean and saw beneith |
|
How the colors of the coral reef looked like the illest floral peice |
|
That's what your beauty remind me of |
|
It's hard to find a love like ours, taking it high above |
|
Them other duns try to spit game but, I dont sweat it though |
|
Know in my heart that we connected so I let it go |
|
Now if they call you out your name and that's a different thing |
|
Anything but Queen I'll go to war like a King |
|
Your friends sweat you cause you aint got a band |
|
But they dont understand |
|
Some things is meant to stay between a woman and man |
|
And they hate Griffey too so they try to get into it |
|
Both you and me see through it so the way we flow is fluid |
|
We speak the love language, they speak from pain and anguish |
|
Some don't love theyselves so they perception is tainted |
|
Out the joint like "shit he paying for you and missing the point |
|
When you rubbed me into your skin just like an ointment..." |
|
Is more than pillow talk, it can't be translated |
|
But how to speak it, and become emancipated |
|
It's a language |
|
Universal love... |
|
Chorus |

Love love love love, love, love (Repeated) |
