Love Language

***I thought today I would bless you with the words of one my favorite lyricist Mr. Talib Kweli... This is my all time favorite song by him, I'm sure most of you haven't even heard it, it goes back to his Album: Reflection Eternal which hit the streets in 2000. Check it out:

"Love Language"

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 sinkin like the Titanic here come the panic
Bein with you like a habit without you I can't stand it
It's tragic when you wonder when you lost that magic
Without understanding that you never had it try to grab it
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
Nig*** say bitc*** is trife, bitc*** say ni*** is
We just don't understand our fundamental differences
I'm still learning though, actually I just do what come naturally, naturally, naturally
(Chorus): L'amour n'a pas de, frontiere (Love has no boundaries) Restes car je t'aime comme tu es (Stay because I love you as you are) J'ai traverse l'ocean du verbe (I crossed an ocean of words) Et je t'ai trouve (And I found you)
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 comin from
Spit in this fashion cause I love rockin over drums Word (te quiero)
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 it ain't nuttin but a word
A chicken ain't nuttin but a bird Yo, yo, yo
Some of y'all in love with that material but 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 the wall lovin how the sun blacken 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 ain't privy to it 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 they joint like "Shit, he payin for your rent" missin the point
When you rub me into your skin just like an ointment
It's more than pillow talk, it can't be translated
Learn how to speak it, and become emancipated It's a language Universal love...
