Robert Glasper, Esperanza Spalding, Q-Tip - Why We Speak lyrics

L'eau terre
Feu air

Coeur de l'eau coeur de terre
Ils s'étouffent dans votre papier cadeau
I cut the bow and remember
Vous n'avez jamais eu la liberté de donner
C'est dans l'esprit de la terre
Ce qui n'a pas de prix n'a pas de prix

Tout est durci maintenant
Qui peut même encore pleurer
We got a long way left to burn
But it's easier when you know
Water is alive in you
Nous sommes réveillés maintenant
It's love alive (Une cuisse a la porte)
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 asked us if we wanted it

Je me suis souvenu
Toutes les sept couleurs du ciel
Et c'est dans le cœur de mon ventre

Tout est durci maintenant
Qui peut même encore pleurer
We got a long way left to go
But it's easier when you know
Water is alive in you
Nous sommes réveillés maintenant
It's love alive (Une cuisse a la porte)
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 bring yourself in the ground
To yourself be kinder
Sometimes I drive right past by truth
Even in the rear view
Driving aimlessly around with nowhere
To steer to she ain't distributing the vibes
Like an abstract poet
But 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 l'eau
How we speak air
How she speaks
Out of my mouth before I had to say
Nobody ever asked us if we wanted it ah
Air to remember after all their
Sage disaster are done se souvenir
Se souvenir se souvenir
How to cry how to ground
How to burn how to breath
Se souvenir to remember after all their
Sage disaster are won how to ground
How to burn how to breath
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 got a lot left to unlearn
But it's easier when you know
Water's alive in you it's alive
L'arbre de vie l'œuf cosmique
Et le sang coeur de l'eau
Coeur de terre se souvenir
