[Intro: Esperanza Spalding]
L'eau
Terre
Feu
Air
[Verse 1: Esperanza Spalding]
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
[Pre-Chorus: Esperanza Spalding]
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
[Chorus: Esperanza Spalding]
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
[Verse 2: Esperanza Spalding]
Je me suis souvenu
Toutes les sept couleurs du ciel
Et c'est dans le cœur de mon ventre
[Pre-Chorus: Esperanza Spalding]
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
[Bridge: Q-Tip]
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
[Verse 3: Q-Tip]
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
[Chorus: Esperanza Spalding]
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
[Outro]
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
