WeFight / WeLove
Q-Tip Lyrics

And it, and it begins, he walks outside for a cigarette break
The story starts with a man walking outside to smoke a cigarette

And thinks how many cigarettes does it take
He thinks of smoking a lot and how it could be affecting his life

He takes a long drag with the sun in his eye
He takes a long drag of his cigarette

He squints, he thinks he starts to sigh
He squints his eyes and starts to sigh

Sometimes he cry
He sometimes weeps

When he think about his girlfriend on his side
When he thinks about his girlfriend being by his side

She held him down, she made him better
His girlfriend supported him and helped him improve

Fought the love, through the fucked up weather
They fought through tough times in their relationship

And she thinkin' about her life
His girlfriend is considering her life choices

With no more work just being a wife
She imagines herself just being a wife with no other work

But instead her love, she gave it to a man
However, she gave her love to another man

Who fought against her lovely plans
The man didn't support her goals and plans

So when she go to work, plus go to school
She has to balance work and school on her own

Plus fight the love, she must feel like a fool
She has to fight for love and it makes her feel foolish

She want the ease that come after pain
She wants to experience the ease that comes after going through pain

She fights for love, thats her campaign
She fights for love and that's her main goal

We fight, we love
This is the chorus - they fight but they also love

We fight and love so much
They fight and love to an equal extent

Sometimes I get confused of who we are
Sometimes, they are not sure of their own identities

Maybe if we just stop and chat and
Perhaps if they talked things out

It will find out who we are
They could discover who they truly are

(Fight) just a little bit
The word fight followed by love is repeated throughout the song

(Love) just a little bit
The word love followed by fight is repeated throughout the song

And it, and it begins, he's off the ball
The story continues with a different character who is out of touch

He left his friends, he ain't home no more
He abandoned his friends and he is no longer at home

He's in a place, that's far away
He is somewhere far away

Where he can't understand what they say
He can't understand the language of the people around him

They say salaam, they carry bombs
The local people use the greeting 'salaam' but some of them also carry bombs

In crowded places, and cause alarm
This causes panic in crowded spaces

You're the infidel who's uninvited
The locals see him as an outsider

But really an American boy who's slighted
In reality, he is just an American who feels insulted

It ain't your fault, you want identity
He just wants to establish his own identity

So you join this big fraternity
Therefore, he joins a large group of people

You get to travel the world, its cheaper than college
This group provides cheaper travel opportunities compared to college

And you get guns and you get knowledge
They are also able to obtain guns and knowledge

Lookin' for your soul, and WMD's
They are searching for their soul, as well as weapons of mass destruction

You can't find nothing, 'cause its empty
But they can't find anything because nothing is there

You got your gun, and he's your friend
Their connection to each other is mainly based on the weapon they carry

And he's your man, until the end
The other person will be loyal until the end

We fight and love so much sometimes
The chorus repeats

Maybe if we just stop and chat and
Perhaps communication will help

It will find out who we are
They could discover their identities
