The One I Love - Talib Kweli, BJ The Chicago Kid

Baby, fuck them chicks and them other girls

You’re the one I love, you’re the one I love, you’re the one I—

Baby, fuck 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)

Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, yeah

Rap life

License and invitation to act like

I’m living the fast life

Long way away from relating to the Pharcyde

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, heh

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 past time

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 batline 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 catfight

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, fuck 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— (aye!)

Baby, fuck 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—aye!)

You’re the one I (love)

You’re the one I (love)

You’re the one I (love)

You’re the one I (love)

Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, yeah

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 a nigga

Now my ex chick is ill but you the best in the field

Place your bets, here’s a mil', 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 hair 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 ships 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, yeah

Baby, fuck 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, fuck 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—aye!)

You’re the one I (love)

You’re the one I—you're the one I—

You’re the one I (love)

The one and only

You’re the one I (love)

Aye!

You’re the one I love, you’re the—aye!

You’re the one I (love)

Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, yeah

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 there and I’m there, who cares, babe?

Baby, fuck them chicks and them other girls

You’re the one I love, you’re the one I love, you’re the one I—

Baby, fuck 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)
