Robert Glasper - Why We Speak Lyrics



Robert Glasper - Why We Speak Lyrics
Official




[ Featuring Q-Tip, Esperanza Spalding ]

L'eau
Terre
Feu
Air

Cœur de l'eau
Cœur de terre
Il se tait dans notre papier cadeau
I crack the ball and remember
Vous n'avez jamais eu la liberté de tourner
C'est dans l'esprit de la Terre
Ce qui n'a pas de prix
N'a pas de prix
Tout à coup, c'est maintenant
Qu'il faut même encore pleurer

We got a long while left to burn
But it's easier when you know whatever's alive in you
Nous sommes réveillés
It's love alive (maintenant et puis en avant)
Et l'arbre de vie et l'œuf cosmique
Et le sang de la Terre

Se souvenir
Se souvenir - While we speak the English
Se souvenir - While we speak the French
Se souvenir - While we speak the Spanish
Se souvenir - And bargain with the vendors
Se souvenir - Not to sell our souls
Se souvenir - In between, remember how to speak

Out of my mouth before I had to say
Nobody ever wants to sit there one day

Je me suis souvenu
Toutes les couleurs du ciel
Et c'est dans le cœur de mon ventre
Tout à coup, c'est maintenant
Qu'il peut même encore pleurer

We got a long way left to go
But it's easier when you know whatever's alive in you
Nous sommes réveillés
Oh love alive (maintenant et puis en avant)
Et l'arbre de vie et l'œuf cosmique
Et le sang de la Terre

Sometimes in life when you go too far
The truth will bring you to who you are
Sometimes in life when you go too far
The truth will bring you to who you are
Sometimes in life when you go too far
The truth will bring you to who you are
Sometimes in life when you go too far
The truth will bring you to who you are

Life can bring you down when you're living in it
These circles and cycles go round though you even spin it
But you stoppin it when your shoulder is a reminder
To not run yourself in the ground, to yourself be kinder
Sometimes I got real cast by truth even in the rear view
Driving aimlessly around with nowhere to stay to
She ain't the should be them, the vibes like an abstract poet
If somebody ask who you are, well
You better know it, better know it, better know it

Se souvenir
Se souvenir - While we speak the English
Se souvenir - While we speak the French
Se souvenir - While we speak the Spanish
Se souvenir - While we, ah
Se souvenir - And bargain with the vendors
Not to sell our souls
In between remember how to speak
How we speak
How she speaks
Out of my mouth before I had to say

Feu
Air

To remember often, all the sage disasters are done
Se souvenir
Se souvenir
How to cry, how to ground, how to burn, how to breathe
Se souvenir
To remember often, all the sage disasters are done
How to ground, how to burn, how to breathe
Se souvenir

L'arbre de vie
L'œuf cosmique
Et le sang de la Terre

Se souvenir
L'arbre de vie
L'œuf cosmique
Et le sang de la Terre

We've got a lot left to unlearn
But it's easier when you know how to use the light in you
It's a love alive

L'arbre de vie
L'œuf cosmique
Et le sang
Cœur de l'eau, cœur de terre
Se souvenir
