Love Language
Talib Kweli & Hi-Tek Lyrics

Yo, we're going to have the word love
Hey, throughout this song, we will be talking about love.

In many different languages translated all through the track
Love will be expressed in various languages throughout the song.

So, whenever you hear the word love
Whenever the word love is mentioned,

Know that, it's going to be in a different language
Understand that it will be in a different language.

The language of love cannot be translated, yo
Love is a universal feeling that cannot be fully expressed in words.

Love is blind, you just see bright light
Love can blind you to faults and make everything seem perfect.

You up in the club feelin' the night life, lookin' for the right type
In the club, enjoying the nightlife, searching for the perfect person.

Blood rushing to your heart making it beat
Feeling a surge of excitement and adrenaline in your heart.

When she swept you off your feet and made it complete
When she captivated you and made you feel whole.

You know the plan you had to conquer the world
You had ambitions to achieve greatness and success in life.

Thinking you Scarface, looking for that perfect girl
Imagining yourself as a powerful and successful figure, searching for an ideal partner.

And now you found her
And now you have found the person you were searching for.

Started with romantic, then got to frantic
The relationship began with romance but later became chaotic.

Then things that's normally small become gigantic
Small issues start to seem much larger and more significant.

Now y'all sinkin' like the Titanic here come the panic
The relationship is deteriorating rapidly, and panic is setting in.

Bein' with you like a habit without you I can't stand it
Being with you has become a habit, and I can't bear to be without you.

It's tragic when you wonder when you lost that magic
It's heartbreaking when you start questioning when the love and spark disappeared.

Without understanding that you never had it try to grab it
Without realizing that the love and magic were never truly there, trying to hold onto it.

In the bed gettin' a nut off, communication cut off
Engaging in physical intimacy while lacking open communication.

Getting mad cause you turned or wondering where she shut off
Becoming angry because she turned away or wondering why she became distant.

Constantly comparing you to someone in my past
Continuously comparing you to a previous partner.

We don't smile anymore, and we argue over cash
We are no longer happy, and our arguments revolve around money.

Advance to that physical shit
Progressing to a sexual relationship.

See what happens if you keep talkin'
Witness the consequences if you continue speaking.

See what happens if you lay a finger on me motherf
Experience the consequences if you dare to touch me.

Yo, see what I'm sayin'
Do you understand what I'm trying to convey?

It's like one big mind game that everybody playin and
It's a complex game of emotions that everyone participates in.

Niggas say bitches is trife, bitches say niggas is
Men claim that women are untrustworthy, while women claim that men are.

We just don't understand our fundamental differences
We fail to comprehend the basic differences between us.

I'm still learning though, actually
I'm still in the process of learning and understanding.

I just do what come naturally, naturally, naturally
I act based on my natural instincts and inclinations.

L'amour n'a pas de, frontiere (Love has no boundaries)
Love knows no bounds or limitations.

Restes car je t'aime comme tu es (Stay because I love you as you are)
Stay with me because I love you for who you are.

J'ai traverse l'ocean du verbe (I crossed an ocean of words)
I went through a journey of expressing my feelings.

Et je t'ai trouve (And I found you)
And I discovered you.

Women thrive on emotions, men refuse to acknowledge
Women thrive on emotional connection, while men tend to ignore or suppress their emotions.

So when we arguin nobody win
When we argue, nobody emerges as a winner.

Words get in the way time and again
Words often hinder our understanding and create obstacles in our relationship.

Sticks and stones break your bones words break your heart
Physical harm may hurt the body, but hurtful words can deeply wound the heart.

Whether you in touch with that part or not say "word"
Regardless of whether you are aware of this truth, acknowledge it.

Words are weapons for the revolutionary
Words have the power to spark change and revolution.

Used for evil make the situation very scary
When used for evil purposes, words can create a frightening and dangerous situation.

Word up, but love is brave
Indeed, love is courageous.

It flies in the face of fear
Love defies and confronts fear head-on.

Yo, wherever you want to go love'll take you there
Love will accompany you and guide you to any destination you desire.

Let's go, you know a flower that grow in the ghetto
You are familiar with the resilience and beauty of a flower that grows in a disadvantaged neighborhood.

Know more about survival than the one from fresh meadows
It understands survival better than a flower from a privileged area.

It got love for the sun, that's where I'm comin' from
It has a deep affection for the sun, which is where I come from.

Spit in this fashion cause I love rockin' over drums
I express myself in this particular style because I love performing with musical accompaniment.

Word (te quiero) I put my love into my music
Yes (te quiero), I pour my love and passion into my music.

If you with me then you love how I do it
If you are with me, it means you appreciate and enjoy my artistic expression.

If my heart you're livin' in your ocean I'm swimmin' in
If you reside in my heart, then I am immersed in your love like swimming in an ocean.

Never drowning got me floatin' watching you in slow motion
I am not overwhelmed, but rather, I am captivated, watching you slowly and intently.

Love potion overdosin' approachin'
Feeling overwhelmed by the intense emotions of love.

The explosion of my senses everyday without your heart
Every day without your love feels like a sensory deprivation.

Is like a sentence in jail
It feels like being imprisoned and trapped.

Trust I'll always be mentally free
Rest assured, I will always have mental freedom.

You got the key to let it out I'll show you how it could be
You hold the key to unlock and experience this mental freedom, and I will demonstrate how it can be achieved.

Some of y'all in love with that material but
Some of you are infatuated with material possessions, but

Love enter my life like a miracle and
Love entered my life unexpectedly and miraculously,

It reciprocal that's why I'm feeling you love
It is mutual, which is why I am deeply connected to your love.

We exibit our natural behavior
We display our innate and instinctive behavior.

Like making love under the moon in Jamaica
Similar to expressing our love intimately under the moonlight in Jamaica.

Get you so hot you call the name of the creata
I make you feel so passionately aroused that you can't help but call out in ecstasy.

The morning we hop back into action again
The next morning, we passionately reunite and continue our journey.

Up on the wall lovin' how the sun blacken your skin
Admiring how the sun beautifully darkens your skin as we make love against the wall.

Remember when we explored the beach
Recalling the time when we discovered and thoroughly enjoyed the beach together.

Swam in the ocean and saw beneith
We swam in the ocean and discovered the wonders beneath the surface.

How the colors of the coral reef looked like the illest floral peice
The vibrant colors of the coral reef resembled the most exquisite floral masterpiece.

That's what your beauty remind me of
Your beauty brings to mind the stunning beauty of the coral reef.

It's hard to find a love like ours, taking it high above
It's challenging to find a love as special as ours that transcends ordinary experiences.

Them other duns try to spit game but, I dont sweat it though
Other men may try to flirt, but I am not bothered by it.

Know in my heart that we connected so I let it go
I have complete confidence and trust in our connection, so I disregard any attempts to disrupt it.

Now if they call you out your name and that's a different thing
However, if they disrespect you, that's an entirely different matter.

Anything but Queen I'll go to war like a King
I will fiercely defend your honor and dignity just like a king would for his queen.

Your friends sweat you cause you ain't got a band
Your friends criticize you because you don't have a conventional romantic relationship.

But they don't understand
They fail to comprehend

Some things is meant to stay between a woman and man
Certain aspects of a relationship are meant to remain private and exclusive between a man and a woman.

And they ain't privy to it so they try to get into it
Since they are not involved, they attempt to interfere and interject their opinions.

Both you and me see through it so the way we flow is fluid
Both of us can see past their interference, so our relationship remains smooth and effortless.

We speak the love language, they speak from pain and anguish
We communicate through a language of love, while they speak from a place of hurt and suffering.

Some don't love theyselves so they perception is tainted
Some people don't love themselves, so their perception of love is distorted.

Out they joint like "Shit, he payin for your rent" missin' the point
They focus on materialistic aspects, like thinking I only love you because I provide for you, completely missing the essence of our love.

When you rub me into your skin just like an ointment
When you embrace and deeply connect with me, it is as though you are applying an ointment to your soul.

It's more than pillow talk, it can't be translated
Our love goes beyond simple conversations in bed; it cannot be fully expressed or understood with words alone.

Learn how to speak it, and become emancipated
Learn to communicate the language of love and experience a sense of freedom and liberation.

Universal love
Love that transcends boundaries and encompasses all of humanity.

L'amour n'a pas de, frontiere (Love has no boundaries)
Love knows no limits or boundaries.

Restes car je t'aime comme tu es (Stay because I love you as you are)
Stay with me because I love you for who you are.

J'ai traverse l'ocean du verbe (I crossed an ocean of words)
I went on a journey through expressing my feelings with words.

Et je t'ai trouve (And I found you)
And I discovered you.

Love love love love, love, love
Love, love, love, love, love
