[talib kweli]
yo, weand'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, itand'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 feelinand' the night life, lookinand' 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 yand'all sinking like the titanic here come the panic
when im with you like a habit without you i cant stand it
itand's tragic when you wonder when you lost that magic
without understanding that you never had it try to grab it
in the bed canand'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 donand'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 iand'm sayinand'
itand's like one big mind game that everybody playinand' and
niggas say bitches is trife, bitches say niggas is
we just donand't understand our fundamental differences
iand'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 arguinand' 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 andquot;wordandquot;
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 loveand'll take you there
letand'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, thatand's where iand'm coming from
spit and itand's smashing cause the love rockinand' over drums
word, i put my love into my music
if you with me then you love how i do it
if my heart youand're livinand' in your ocean iand'm swimminand' in
never drowning got me floatinand' watching you in slow motion
love potion overdosinand' approachinand'
the explosion of my senses everyday without your heart
is like a sentence in jail
trust iand'll always be mentally free
you got the key to let it out iand'll show you how it could be
love,(you need that) it aint nothinand' but a word
a chicken aint nothinand' 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 thatand's why iand'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
thatand's what your beauty remind me of
itand'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 thatand's a different thing
anything but queen iand'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 donand't love theyselves so they perception is tainted
out the joint like andquot;shit he paying for you and missing the point
when you rubbed me into your skin just like an ointment...andquot;
is more than pillow talk, it canand't be translated
but how to speak it, and become emancipated
itand's a language
Universal love...
Chorus:
(indistinct)
Love love love love, love, love (repeated)
