The One I Love Songtext
von Talib Kweli

Baby
Them chicks and them other girls
You′re the one I love, you're the one I love
You′re the one I
Baby
Them chicks and them other girls
You're the one I love, you're the one I love
You′re the one I, love
You′re the one I, love
You're the one I, love
You′re the one I love, wo-oh


Rap life, licence and invitation to act like I'm living the fast life
Long way away from relating to the far side
I was the dude they used to pass by
Looking for her in the day with a flashlight that type
That′s until I got my cash right
You should have seen your boy last night, that's right
Acting like I was a God in the past life
This is your last try if I don′t act right
This what you said the last time
We know each other so well that we past lying
And we past crying, and we past fighting
It's like dealing with women my favorite pastime
I love finding trails to path find ain't nothing like it
When you stop calling that was a bad sign
Remember you would blow up the bat line now flatline
I was scared to fall asleep so I nap light
One eye open and my phone in my path of sight
Hoping I don′t wake up to a cat fight
Exposed like them hotel sheets in the black light
You let me cook like the pot was cast iron
And stayed through the good and the bad times
So that′s why I'm back in line tryna get off your bad side
It might take some time and that′s fine but trust this

Baby
Them chicks and them other girls
You're the one I love, you′re the one I love
You're the one I
Baby
Them chicks and them other girls
You′re the one I love, you're the one I love
You're the one I, love
You′re the one I, love
You′re the one I, love
You're the one I love, wo-oh


Here′s the deal, I know you still have fears to consider
Your tears filled a river but you still ain't a quitter
Turned to pills and the liquor when your feelings was bitter
Signed, sealed and delivered but you still with it - it
Now my ex chick is in but you the best in the field
Place your bets, here′s a mill I invest in the real
Went from Netflix and chill to breakfast in Brazil
Went from Mexican villas straight to Texas for grills
We the best when we building
Got the egg in the nest and it's chilling
It′s left for the children, the hate is so real son
But they full of jealousy and it's killing them
They stressed in their feelings
When I tell her don't let them affect how she feels
She throw the blame right back at me, how we expect to heal?
Investigating like she be waiting for a detective shield
Better still feeling insecure about her sex appeal
She know she cute when she catching a little attitude
She know I love her when she wear her hear natural
She let me back in her life and I show my gratitude
I try to curb my habit of acting like other rappers do
Them other chicks chips in the night they just passing through
They ain′t invested what you invested you got the capital
To put up and you actually put up with the collateral
Damage that I cause but you back and it′s magical

Baby
Them chicks and them other girls
You're the one I love, you′re the one I love
You're the one I love, you′re the one I love
You're the one I
Baby
Them chicks and them other girls
You′re the one I love, you're the one I love
You're the one I love, you′re the one I love
You′re the one I ay, love
You're the one I, you′re the one I, lovee
The one and only
You're the one I, love
Ay, you′re the one I love, ay
You're the one I love, wo-oh

Baby I want you to know
Can′t nobody take your place, no
We always gon' hear this and that about each other
But who knows and who cares
Long as you're there and I′m there
Who cares, baby

Baby
Them chicks and them other girls
You′re the one I love, you're the one I love
You′re the one I
Baby
Them chicks and them other girls
You're the one I love, you′re the one I love
You're the one I, love
You′re the one I, love
You're the one I, love
You're the one I, love
