I first heard this song 10 years years ago..it still affects me like it once did! One of my favourite songs of all time.. And one of the most realistic views on love I ever heard in my life. Incredible.
In 2007 I was debating with my gf at the time about which verse was better. She said 1st, I said 3rd, and 17 years later, I realized… we were both right 🔥 💔
Kno's verse on the original verse is solid, but his verse on this is unbelievable. He hasn't put a verse on many tracks since SouthernUnderground but he's too sick
Love ain't for the faint of heart Start training, this game is hard And arduous, you're gonna play in the dark, like when it rains in the park You're hardly conscious of the stains and scars, enabling your partly clouded logic To pay to impart bliss with arrangements of chocolates Now, you're working yourself out the same as when you strain' with a nautilus And you're willing to embrace pain facing sustained negative consequence If nothing you say when in love is embedded with common sense Then, do you really regret when you've shredded your promises? Now, I've tested the waters, kid. Sipped it; rippled the pond a bit Visits have been abolished, and this shit's killing my confidence Is this filling your conscience when distance is an accomplishment? If you miss chicks when they're around, the phrase "Let's quit" isn't an option You best fix whatever's wrong and just move on and get on with it Cause, You'll catch bigger fish in the sea if you manage not to drown in it It's sad, but proud or not, most your standards go down a notch When loneliness drinks at the bar you set too high Cause, It isn't really my time, is it? Shit, I just found the watch But hearing the bell toll for me twice a day, has me fearing my grandfather clock And I can't die without trying, my hands tied in knots Knowing that I'll never learn to brave the waves if I stand by the docks Love is hampered by thought, if you can handle the prospect of Death - it's as massive a shock And to intellects, it's a fuckin' smack in the crotch It's a cancer that rots your soul, tosses demons off of the road Just use caution and know, that, love ain't nothing but a loss of control Off then, we go [Hook] Traces of love, long ago That didn't work out Traces of love, long ago That didn't work out [Verse 2: Deacon the Villian] Love'll have you nervous, doing stupid shit on purpose Brain out of service, words slurred when you blurt shit Studderin', utterin' non-sensical shit in your verses Feeling like a shirtless four-breasted woman in a circus Furthurly trying to gap an unfillable void Because of parents never transfering that unbillical joy So girls create a false world of filling on boys Exploited, guys playing with her heart like her feelings are toys But when you have it, there's nothing like it, you get excited Seeking those who provide it, on phones talking to psychics Some fear it, spend their entire lives trying to fight it Living in a confusing Hayes, like they're grooving to Isaac It ain't the end of the rainbow with a treasure chest and a map It ain't easily learnable with definitions in tact It can ride your train of thought and demolition your tracks Hittin' and bullwhippin you, leavin' them slits in your back But I've been a lucky one, loving parents, loving friends But I still spend alot of my life loving sin But I ain't a genius on it, I can only pretend Cause over all it's an emotion I cannot comprehend It's love [Hook] [Verse 3: Kno] Love ain't the basis for action In a nation of addicts pacing and waiting for seconds of satisfaction Where the word itself is only fashioned in fits of passion Hand in hand with animalistic orgasmic reaction And the past isn't felt as a match made in hell But rather its held as a latter day meld Of common mistakes and nice intentions But when false love retention is simply vice invention It's only right to mention the fights you get in Nightly visions of these Tina and Ike revisions So what's love really got to do with it? From prude women to stool pidgeons in soup kitchens The truth isn't as eloquent so be intelligent Getting caught out of your element just for the hell of it's irrelevant And that word'll fit like a glove if you don't get right Now live your life for the love or stop
this is the song that got me into rap way back when i was 6, my mom has a phenomenal taste in music
I've been looking for this sample since i was a kid 😭
Still blasting my speakers in 2018 and forever
Der Song war früher schon der Hammer. Jetzt ist es ein Hip Hop Klassiker 😎👍

Not just love but life
In 2007 I was debating with my gf at the time about which verse was better. She said 1st, I said 3rd, and 17 years later, I realized… we were both right 🔥 💔
I like this version the best because of the hook (maybe its not a hook but that last verse)
2019? hell yeah still absolute fire !!!
2020 too
2022 been here since sloppy seconds 2 came out, seen CL twice in the UK now, they never dissapoint
The hook & last verse made it better. Both the beats are fantastic
True dgk all day. The good is always hid from us
That intro sample!! 🔥🔥🔥
There music and interviews are dope AF much love from Cali
When love ain't returned it hurts deep in your veins
The original was great (with the Kno verse) but this one is even better. Yes, the SOS third verse is REALLY sick!
the lyrics and flow = mind blown
My god this is good beyond comprehension
this is the best version 3rd verse is toooo dope.
Kno's verse on the original verse is solid, but his verse on this is unbelievable. He hasn't put a verse on many tracks since SouthernUnderground but he's too sick
Yo this song is a beast
Pretty sure that's Mr SOS on the third verse and not Kno.... still, love this track and the sample
are you sure it's not kno?
Eli Costa 100% it's Mr SOS.
That's why it's the remix....
this is a great group
This is the story of my life
This is amazing
it sucks that not very many people know about these guys
Honestly true blasphemy
I know them bro, since the beginning. Poland represent...
Lyrics is heart stopping
Yee, sick as song.
Prefer this version ... university studies remembers
Damn it its love
Love ain't for the faint of heart
Start training, this game is hard
And arduous, you're gonna play in the dark, like when it rains in the park
You're hardly conscious of the stains and scars, enabling your partly clouded logic
To pay to impart bliss with arrangements of chocolates
Now, you're working yourself out the same as when you strain' with a nautilus
And you're willing to embrace pain facing sustained negative consequence
If nothing you say when in love is embedded with common sense
Then, do you really regret when you've shredded your promises?
Now, I've tested the waters, kid. Sipped it; rippled the pond a bit
Visits have been abolished, and this shit's killing my confidence
Is this filling your conscience when distance is an accomplishment?
If you miss chicks when they're around, the phrase "Let's quit" isn't an option
You best fix whatever's wrong and just move on and get on with it
Cause, You'll catch bigger fish in the sea if you manage not to drown in it
It's sad, but proud or not, most your standards go down a notch
When loneliness drinks at the bar you set too high
Cause, It isn't really my time, is it? Shit, I just found the watch
But hearing the bell toll for me twice a day, has me fearing my grandfather clock
And I can't die without trying, my hands tied in knots
Knowing that I'll never learn to brave the waves if I stand by the docks
Love is hampered by thought, if you can handle the prospect of
Death - it's as massive a shock
And to intellects, it's a fuckin' smack in the crotch
It's a cancer that rots your soul, tosses demons off of the road
Just use caution and know, that, love ain't nothing but a loss of control
Off then, we go
[Hook]
Traces of love, long ago
That didn't work out
Traces of love, long ago
That didn't work out
[Verse 2: Deacon the Villian]
Love'll have you nervous, doing stupid shit on purpose
Brain out of service, words slurred when you blurt shit
Studderin', utterin' non-sensical shit in your verses
Feeling like a shirtless four-breasted woman in a circus
Furthurly trying to gap an unfillable void
Because of parents never transfering that unbillical joy
So girls create a false world of filling on boys
Exploited, guys playing with her heart like her feelings are toys
But when you have it, there's nothing like it, you get excited
Seeking those who provide it, on phones talking to psychics
Some fear it, spend their entire lives trying to fight it
Living in a confusing Hayes, like they're grooving to Isaac
It ain't the end of the rainbow with a treasure chest and a map
It ain't easily learnable with definitions in tact
It can ride your train of thought and demolition your tracks
Hittin' and bullwhippin you, leavin' them slits in your back
But I've been a lucky one, loving parents, loving friends
But I still spend alot of my life loving sin
But I ain't a genius on it, I can only pretend
Cause over all it's an emotion I cannot comprehend
It's love
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Kno]
Love ain't the basis for action
In a nation of addicts pacing and waiting for seconds of satisfaction
Where the word itself is only fashioned in fits of passion
Hand in hand with animalistic orgasmic reaction
And the past isn't felt as a match made in hell
But rather its held as a latter day meld
Of common mistakes and nice intentions
But when false love retention is simply vice invention
It's only right to mention the fights you get in
Nightly visions of these Tina and Ike revisions
So what's love really got to do with it?
From prude women to stool pidgeons in soup kitchens
The truth isn't as eloquent so be intelligent
Getting caught out of your element just for the hell of it's irrelevant
And that word'll fit like a glove if you don't get right
Now live your life for the love or stop
Like in 2017!
