Talib Kweli - Never Been In Love

File info:

[Verse One]

I know there's a first time for everything

First time I let her in my bed she got wetter then the perfect storm

That we weathering together and

This the first time that I've ever considered wedding rings

But first things first yo

I met her at the bar rolling with three wise men like I followed the star

There she is shorty bi coastal

Thick like bifocals, stacked like 2Pac vocals her body so loco

Jewel of the Nile so I'm romancing the stone

The rhythm is to the words and I watched her dance to my poems

The way she move them hips let me know in advance that she grown

I pictured it like Paris Hilton when she answered the phone, yo

Dancing alone because she extra fly

But I got good look so I catch her eye

Gave the rest a try now give the best a try

Leave your nest and I'll fly make you testify

Damn baby I know we got some haters and.



[Hook]

I don't care what people say

As long as you and me okay

Because I never been in love before

See I use to be a player and

All of this is new to me

And this ain't what I'm used to see

Because I never been in love before



[Verse 2]

You running back to the kid like this was home base

Or a marathon I let you set your own pace

Your own space and the beautiful struggle

Now baby tell what's it gonna take to prove that I love you

When I'm gone you be missing me too

It let me know that my prayers is the music God be listening to

Don't get it confused I'm trying to get religious with you

I never thought I feel like this it's like a miracle you

You You stole my heart like a crook in love

Crossing the bridge to the Brooklyn love

When I took above it's clear skies that's surrounding my earth

Your love is drugs and I'm down to serve let's deal with it yo

We go to the spot and you still get it low

I get excited fast and still love to hit it slow

Till the walls come tumbling down like Jericho

And you hear the sound is stereo

Hear we go



[Hook]

I don't care what people say

As long as you and me okay

Because I never been in love before

See I use to be a player and

All of this is new to me

And this ain't what I'm used to see

Because I never been in love before



[Verse Three]

You looked good when I tried you on

So I had to write a song

Use to be the guy that always made her cry when I'm gone

Always kept a stable and I never spent a night alone

No cable or no hard line phone why

I'm never home scared of commitment

Ready to forever roam

We at war like sister souljah and she welcome to my terror dome

Head strong our connection proved them haters dead wrong

From now to R.I.P. Proceeds my name up on the headstone

Leave her be for five minutes

Dudes try to dive in it first

They want to spit on my name and tarnish my image

I tell them do you I don't care who she speaking with

Because I already know she made it clear who she leaving with

And it feels so beautiful

Put it in a rhyme because it feel so musical

Plus you ain't no groupie hoe

Sitting in the studio

Before we do this though there something that you should know



[Hook]

I don't care what people say

As long as you and me okay

Because I never been in love before

See I use to be a player and

All of this is new to me

And this ain't what I'm used to see

Because I never been in love before
