Never Been In Love Lyrics


I know there's a first time for everything
First time I let her in my bed she got wetter than the perfect storm
That we weathering together and this the first time
That I've ever considered wedding rings but first things first yoI met her at the bar rolling with three wise men like I followed the star
There she is shorty bi-coastal
Thick like bifocals, stacked like 2Pac vocals her body so locoJewel of the Nile so I'm romancing the stone
The rhythm is in the words and I watched her dance to my poems
The way she move them hips let me know in advance that she grown
I pictured it like Paris Hilton when she answered the phone, yoDancing alone because she extra fly
But I got a good look so I catch her eye
Gave the rest a try now give the best a try
Leave your nest to fly make you testifyDamn baby
I know we've got some haters and
I don't care what people say
As long as you and me okay
'Cause I've never been in love beforeSee I use to be a player and
All of this is new to me
And this ain't what I'm used to see

'Cause I've never been in love beforeYou running back to the kid like this was home base
Or a marathon I let you set your own pace
Your own space and the beautiful struggle
Now baby tell what's it gonna take to prove that I love youWhen I'm gone you be missing me too
It let me know that my prayers is the music God be listening to
Don't get it confused I'm trying to get religious with you
I never thought I feel like this it's like a miracle youYou, you stole my heart like a crook in love
Crossing the bridge to the Brooklyn love
When I look above it's clear skies that's surrounding my earth
Your love is drugs and I'm down to serve let's deal with it yoWe go to the spot and you still get it low
I get excited fast and still love to hit it slow
Till the walls come tumbling down like Jericho
And you hear the sound is stereo hear we goI know we've got some haters and
I don't care what people say
As long as you and me okay
'Cause I've never been in love beforeSee I use to be a player and
All of this is new to me
And this ain't what I'm used to see
'Cause I've never been in love beforeYou looked good when I tried you on so I had to write a song
Use to be the guy that always made her cry when I'm gone
Always kept a stable and we never spent a night alone
No cable or no hard line phone, why?I'm never home scared of commitment ready to forever roam
We at war like Sister Souljah and she welcome to my terror dome
Head strong our connection proved them haters dead wrong
From now to all the people see my name upon the headstoneLeave her be for five minutes dudes try to dive in it first
They want to spit on my name and tarnish my image
I tell them dude you I don't care who she speaking with
'Cause I already know she made it clear who she's living withYeah and it feels so beautiful
Put it in a rhyme because it feel so musical
Plus you ain't no groupie hoe, sitting in the studio
Before we do this though there something and now you should knowI know we've got some haters and
I don't care what people say
As long as you and me okay
'Cause I've never been in love beforeSee I use to be a player and
All of this is new to me
And this ain't what I'm used to see
'Cause I've never been in love beforeI know we've got some haters and
I don't care what people say
As long as you and me okay
'Cause I've never been in love beforeSee I use to be a player and
All of this is new to me
And this ain't what I'm used to see
'Cause I've never been in love beforeI know we've got some haters and
I don't care what people say
As long as you and me okay
'Cause I've never been in love beforeSee I use to be a player and
All of this is new to me
And this ain't what I'm used to see
'Cause I've never been in love beforeI don't care what people say
As long as you and me okay
'Cause I never been in love beforeAll of this is new to me
And this ain't what I'm used to see
'Cause I've never been in love before

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Talib Kweli Greene (born October 3, 1975 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American MC known as one of the most prominent rappers in underground hip-hop, and is critically acclaimed frequently, despite not being commercially successful. Kweli first gained recognition through Black Star, a collaboration with fellow MC Mos Def. He released his solo debut album Quality in 2002 and has since released 2004's The Beautiful Struggle, 2005's mixtape album Right About Now, 2007's Eardrum and 2011's Gutter Rainbows. He has also released two albums with Hi-Tek under the name Reflection Eternal and a collaboration album with Madlib in 2007 plus two albums with Res under the name Idle Warship.

His name is Arabic, meaning 'the seeker' or 'student of truth and knowledge'. His parents were both college professors: his mother an English professor, his father a sociology professor. As a youth, he was drawn to Afrocentric rappers, such as De La Soul and other members of the Native Tongues Posse and in 1995 began recording with producer Hi-Tek and rapper Mos Def who he met at central park, and later attended New York University with. With Mos Def (together the pair were known as Black Star), Kweli achieved some mainstream success with Mos Def & Talib Kweli Are Black Star (1998). Also noted are Kweli and Mos' central input on Rawkus Records' compilation album Soundbombing (1997). Soundbombing also include collaborations between Kweli and DJ Hi Tek as Reflection Eternal. Together they released Train of Thought in 2000, which sold better than most alternative hip hop albums at the time. He has since released a critically acclaimed solo debut, Quality in 2002. In 2004, he released his second solo album, The Beautiful Struggle. His third solo album Ear Drum was released on August 21st, 2007.

Kweli has created his own record label, Blacksmith Records and has recently signed acclaimed female rapper Jean Grae, with rumors continuing to grow that underground veteran MF DOOM is the next artist to be picked up. He left Geffen Records and has signed with the Warner Music Group.

He has since broken through slightly more towards the mainstream, thanks in large part to several appearance on the comedy show Chappelle's Show, both solo and with long-time collaborator Mos Def, this is due to a friendship between the host and creator of the show, comedian Dave Chappelle and the rapper. He also had a guest spot on friend and frequent collaborator Kanye West's widely successful debut album The College Dropout on the track "Get 'Em High". West has also produced some of Kweli's songs, including his biggest commercial hit "Get By". Kweli can also be seen in a commercial for the NCAA's Big Ten Conference, rapping about the league's basketball teams. Talib Kweli provided the voice for the main character, Trane, in the video game Marc Ecko's Getting Up, released in 2006.
