Love, rain, down (say what you say, I say love) x 4 |
|
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 butterflies rest easy |
|
Talked about Moses and Mumia |
|
Reparations, blue colors, memories of shell-topped Adidas (oh yeah) |
|
He was fresh, like summer peaches |
|
Sweet on my mind like block parties and penny candy |
|
Love rain down (say what you say, I say love) x 4 |
|
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 (oh oh ohhhhh) |
|
Wide open, wide, |
|
The mistake was made |
|
Love slipped from my lips |
|
Dripped down my chin and landed in his lap |
|
And us became new, brand new |
|
Love rain down (say what you say, I say love) x 4 |
|
{Mos Def rap} |
|
Love rains Love rains... |
