The Devil Went Down To Scunthorpe Lyrics
The devil went down to Scunthorpe Looking for a soul to steal In a bind and way behind He was willin' to make a deal When he came across this young man Pickin' on a guitar, playing it hot And the devil jumped on a hickory stump And said I'll tell ya what I guess you didn't know it, I'm a guitar player too And if you care to take a dare I'll make a bet with you Now you play a real good guitar boy But give the devil his due I'll bet a guitar of gold to get your soul 'Cause I think I'm better than you The boy said my name's Johnny, it might be a sin I'll take your bet, you're gonna regret I'm the best that's ever been Johnny resin up your pick and play your guitar hard


[Talib Kweli]

Yo, we're going to have the word love

in many different languages translated all through the track

So, whenever you hear the word love

Know that, it's going to be in a different language

The language of love cannot be translated, yo



Love is blind, you just see bright light

You up in the club feelin' the night life, lookin' for the right type

Blood rushing to your heart making it beat

When she swept you off your feet and made it complete

You know the plan you had to conquer the world

Thinking you Scarface, looking for that perfect girl

And now you found her

Started with romantic, then got to frantic

Then things thats normally small become gigantic

Now y'all sinkin like the Titanic here come the panic

Bein with you like a habit without you I can't stand it

It's tragic when you wonder when you lost that magic

Without understanding that you never had it try to grab it

In the bed gettin a nut off, communication cut off

Getting mad cause you turned or wondering where she shut off

Constantly comparing you to someone in my past

We don't smile anymore, and we argue over cash

Advance to that physical shit

See what happens if you keep talkin

See what happens if you lay a finger on me motherf...

Yo, see what I'm sayin'

It's like one big mind game that everybody playin and

Niggas say bitches is trife, bitches say niggas is

We just don't understand our fundamental differences

I'm still learning though, actually

I just do what come naturally, naturally, naturally



(Chorus):

L'amour n'a pas de, frontiere (Love has no boundaries)

Restes car je t'aime comme tu es (Stay because I love you as you are)

J'ai traverse l'ocean du verbe (I crossed an ocean of words)

Et je t'ai trouve (And I found you)



[Talib Kweli]

Women thrive on emotions, men refuse to acknowledge

So when we arguin nobody win

Words get in the way time and again

Sticks and stones break your bones words break your heart

Whether you in touch with that part or not say "word"

Words are weapons for the revolutionary

Used for evil make the situation very scary

Word up, but love is brave

It flies in the face of fear

Yo, wherever you want to go love'll take you there

Let's go, you know a flower that grow in the ghetto

Know more about survival than the one from fresh meadows

It got love for the sun, that's where I'm comin from

Spit in this fashion cause I love rockin over drums

Word (te quiero) I put my love into my music

Life On A Chain Lyrics
I live on a chain and you share the same last name, as a joke, I sent a bottle of whiskey, as you choked, I knew it made you feel dirty, And I was waiting over here for life to begin, I was looking for the new thing, And you were THE sunshine heading my front-line, I was alone, you were just around the corner from me. Time alone is good, I spend my days in the city, Dirty neighborhood, you know you?ll never convince me, So I sold the town away, I couldn?t wait to forget you, I was killed in half a day, I hadn?t time to regret you, And I was waiting over here for life to begin, I was looking for the new thing And you were the sunshine heading my front line, I was alone you were just around the corner f
