Why We Speak (feat. Q-Tip & Esperanza Spalding)

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

Nobody ever wants to sit there one day

To remember often, all the sage disasters are done

I remember often, all our sage disaster is 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
