Love Language

[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: 

(Indistinct) 


[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: 

(Indistinct) 


[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: 

(Indistinct) 


Love love love love, love, love (Repeated)
