[C.S. Armstrong]
Let's talk about love (Talk about love), love and war
How you can be cool one day, the next, we're wonderin' what we're fightin' for
Let's talk about love (Talk about love), and war
Talk about love and war
Let's talk about love (Talk about love and war), and war
How you can be cool one day, the next, we're wonderin' what we're fightin' for
Let's talk about love (Talk about love), love and war
Oh, Lord
[Busta Rhymes]
Please understand we ain't begging for friendship, my nigga, we never force it
And if it got genuine love, let's go to war for what's important
Prioritize, push it above everything we dub and never forfeit
Stand on business strong and drink from the same water faucet
You war with who you love and the price of life is the cost, bitch
Don't make me have to turn that switch on, it's better off, bitch
I'm tired of the matrix, I want the glitch gone, let me be off sync
Back to the basics when niggas were strong, when we would all think
As individuals in a collective
Common destiny and common goal, when we was selective
And it would all stick together, boo, like it was crazy glue, like cement and brick
And I would never do what they would do to you, I would protect you quick
Shit, fuck going on nowadays?
Niggas'll film it before they help just to post it up on they page
I'm ready to go to war for the love that the people crave
While we put it in proper perspective while we face the end of days, look
So intriguing all the shit that we be seeing
Niggas go to war with the ones they love and don't even know the reason, look
How we devalue the same air we all breathing?
Bitch, we ain't got a lot of time, at a certain point we all leaving
Get rid of the negative shit, get to doing some house cleaning
But if you gotta go to war, get to preparing for the hunting season
Get to lighting a blunt for the evening, meditate
Thinking about the ones you love coming together and levitate
[C.S. Armstrong & Talib Kweli]
Let's talk about love (Talk about love), love and war
How you can be cool one day, the next, we're wonderin' what we're fightin' for
Let's talk about love (Talk about love), and war
Talk about love and war
Let's talk about love (Talk about love and war), and war (Love and war)
How you can be cool one day, the next, we're wonderin' what we're fightin' for (What are we doin'?)
Let's talk about love (Put your dukes down), love and war
Oh, Lord (Let's talk about it)
[Talib Kweli]
I used to say, "I love you," you said, "I loved you more"
When did it become a competition? Now it's love and war
That kind of love that got 'em crying
I'm writing songs, will have you making mountains out of the molehills you dying on
You shed a tear, tryna parse how love and war compare
Both are easy to begin, but the end is never clear
All is fair in love and war, but neither love or war is fair
I wasn't at all prepared for how love came in my life, it had me talking weird
Same qualities you fall in love with, you go to war to get away from
There are lots of true stories this is based on
Is it transactional? Do you save 'em? You got your cape on?
Are you paying for that vilification? I'm just saying
Apologies are the cornerstone of civilization
They should be delivered with grace and love unless you want the end of your relationship to be hastened
They should be as public as the disrespect was, that part is basic
My heart is a safe haven, I was starting to play favorites
I am him, that's my name, remember me
I'm ingrained in your memory, I keep it a hundred like the legs of a centipede
The petty mean games that'll drive you insane mentally, instead of keeping the same energy, you would be my main enemy
And to think, I almost gave you my last name on a legal basis
Is it love or is it evil to be playing in people faces?
I ain't here for interpretation and rumination on it
Clear communication is based in truth, but you faking, I'm losing patience
[C.S. Armstrong]
Let's talk about love (Talk about love), love and war
How you can be cool one day, the next, we're wonderin' what we're fightin' for
Let's talk about love (Talk about love), and war
Talk about love and war
Let's talk about love (Talk about love and war), and war
How you can be cool one day, the next, we're wonderin' what we're fightin' for
Let's talk about love (Talk about love), love and war
Oh, Lord
