Talib Kweli


(feat. Faith Evans) 

[Intro - Talib Kweli] 
Hey Y'all 
I feel good right? (mmm...hmmm...) 
Yeah, ok, uhh.. 
Now what that make me talk about? 
Love, love, love, love...[echoes] 
Yeah, that's what the world need, ha 
Yo, that's what your girl need 
All right, we gon' put it down like this 
I'll tell you about myself 

[1st Verse - Talib Kweli] 
My name is Kweli and I love to spit it homie 
I rap about love and life, ladies get to know me 
If you feelin' lonely, I can be your one and only 
I put it out in the world, so people show me... love [echoes] 
Yeah, I always get it back 
This ain't no pimp game here, that's a different track 
We talkin' this and that, we need to get with this 
I keep it realer than most, this is our business 

[Chorus - Faith Evans] 
What we gotta do to make them see 
We got a good thing going on 
Wanna tell the world if they don't know 
That what we have is real 
Wanna shout it from the mountains baby 
That I love you, but if they don't hear me 
I know, you know, we know 

[2nd Verse - Talib Kweli] 
Heheh, yeah.. 
Yo, hey baby look like you need a break tonight 
Let me make it right, baby won't you stay the night 
I got a lot of love as you know you're my favorite right? 
Hey my lady, what we gon' make tonight (our love...) 
That's the dream, but I never sleep 
Across the crowded room, our eyes forever meet 
But without doubt and gloom, cuz we can never be 
That's why I got to go, cuz you're my impossible love 
Your the horizon I can see but never ride off into 
I write my lyrics to you, you the perfect instrumental 
I sound better than the cat who rappin' to you now 
That's between me and you, what happened to us now? 
Got you hopin' for the glorious 
Waitin' for that victorious feelin' wanted by all of us 
Kneelin' and praying that the lord in us will help us love
ourselves 
So much that the confidence attract to someone else 

[Chorus - Faith Evans] 
What we gotta do to make them see 
We got a good thing going on 
Wanna tell the world if they don't know 
That what we have is real 
Wanna shout it from the mountains baby 
That I love you, but if they don't hear me 
I know, you know, we know 

[3rd Verse - Talib Kweli] 
Yo, Rockin' Los Angeles, House of Blues in Sunset 
Performin' like an orgasm, my girl ain't even cum yet 
Seen her by the side of the stage givin' me energy 
Potentially, wife material connectin' mentally 
I felt like heaven sent for me, you're meant for me 
The doubters and the haters had to acknowledge eventually 
You was a non-believer too if memory serves 
And a heart that gives shit, tryin' to play your boy for the her

The harder that I run to you, the farther you become 
It's like my heart was part of some movie that hadn't yet begun

This woman moves me and I'm a mountain of a man 
You pull me in like the waves do the grain of sand (love, love,
love...) 
Yeah, I love the way you bring it to me 
I wrote a song for you, I love to hear you to sing it for me 
And let the melody carry me through the jealousy 
And we can cruise like Tom and Phenelope 

[Chorus - Faith Evans] 
What we gotta do to make them see 
We got a good thing going on 
Wanna tell the world if they don't know 
That what we have is real 
Wanna shout it from the mountains baby 
That I love you, but if they don't hear me 
I know, you know, we know 
[Repeat 2x]
