Love rain down on me,on me,down on me(4x) |
|
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 |
|
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 pyhsically give me each and every one |
|
I felt like cayenne pepper,red,hot,spicy |
|
I felt dizzy and so near the heavens and miles between my thighs |
|
Better than love,we made delicious |
|
He me had,had me he |
|
He made 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 love |
|
Made 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 (2x) |
|
{mos def} |
|
In stretched my arms towards the sky like blades of tall grass |
|
The sun beat in between my shoulders like carnival drums |
|
I sat still in hopes that it would help my wings grow |
|
So then i would really be fly |
|
And then she arrived |
|
Like day break inside a railway tunnel |
|
Like the new moon,like a diamond in the mines |
|
Like high noon to a drunkard,sudden |
|
She made my heart beat in a now-now time signature |
|
Her skinny canvas for ultarviolet brushstrokes |
|
She was the sun's painting |
|
She was a deep cognac color |
|
Her eyes sparkled like lights along the new city |
|
She lips pursed as if her breath was too sweet |
|
And full for her mouth to hold |
|
I said,'you are beautiful,distress of mathematics.' |
|
I said,'for you, i would peel open the clouds like new fruit.' |
|
And give you lightning and thunder as dowry |
|
I would make the sky shed all of its stars like rain |
|
I would clasp the constellations around your waist |
|
And i would make the heavens your cape |
|
And they would be please to cover you |
|
They would be pleased to cover you |
|
May i please,cover you,please. |
