Love rain down on me,on me,down on me
|
Love rain down on me,on me,down on me
|
Love rain down on me,on me,down on me
|
Love rain down on me,on me,down on me
|
|
Met him on a Thursday,sunny afternoon
|
Cumulus clouds, 84 degrees He was brown,deep
|
Said he wanted to talk about my mission
|
Listen to my past lives (Word?)
|
Took me on long walks to places where utterflies
|
rest easy Talked about Moses and Mumia
|
Reparations,blue colors,
|
memories of shell top adidas
|
He was fresh,like summer peaches
|
Sweet on my mind like
|
block parties and penny candy
|
Us was nice and warm,no jacket,
|
no umbrella,just warm
|
At night we would watch the stars
|
And he would physically
|
give me each and every one
|
I felt like cayenne pepper,red,hot,spicy
|
I felt Dizzy and Sonia, heaven and
|
Miles between my thighs
|
Better than love,we made delicious
|
He me had,had me he He had me tongue tied
|
I could hear his rhythm in my thoughts
|
I was his sharp, his horn section
|
His boom and his bip And he was my love
|
|
Love rain down on me,on me,down on me
|
|
The rain was fallin and,
|
and slowly and sweetly and stinging my eyes
|
And I could not see that
|
he became my voodoo priest
|
And I was his faithful concubine
|
Wide open,wide,loose like
|
bowels after collard greens
|
The mistake was made
|
Love slipped from my lips
|
Dripped down my chin and landed in his lap
|
And us became new
|
Now me non-clairvoyant and in loveMade the coochie easy and the obvious invisible
|
The rain was falling
|
And I couldn´t see the season changing
|
And the vibe slipping off it´s axis
|
Our beautiful melody became wildly staccato
|
The rain was falling and I could not see
|
That I was to be plowed and sowed and fertilized
|
And left to drown in his sunny afternoon
|
Cumulus clouds,84 degrees,melody
|
|
Love rain down on me,on me,down on me
|
Love rain down on me,on me,down on me
|

(Mos Def:)
|
|
I stretch my arms towards the sky
|
like blades of tall grass,
|
The sun beat between my shoulders like
|
carnaval drums.
|
I sat still in hopes that it would
|
help my wings grow
|
So then I could really be fly.
|
And then she arrived.
|
Like daybreak inside a railway tunnel,
|
like the new moon,
|
like a diamond in the mines,
|
like high noon to a junker,
|
|
Sudden...
|
She made my heart beat in the now, now time signature,
|
her skin a canvas for ultra violet brush strokes.
|
She was the sun´s painting,
|
she was a deep cogniac color,
|
her eyes sparkle like lights along the new city,
|
her lips purst as if her breath was too sweet and full for her mouth to hold.
|
|
I said:
|
"You are the beautiful distress of mathmatics,"
|
"For you,
|
I will peel open the clouds like new fruit,
|
and give you lightning and thunder as a dowry,
|
I will make the sky shed all
|
of it´s stars like rain,
|
and I will clast the constellations
|
across your waste,
|
and i will make the heavens your keep.
|
And they will be pleased to cover you,
|
they will be pleased to cover you,
|
May i please... cover you...
|
|
...please...
|
