Jill Scott - Love Rain
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 butterflies 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 peppa
Red hot spicy
I felt Dizzy and Sonya, 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 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 hap
And us became new
Now me non clairvoyant and in love
Made the coochie easy and the obvious invisible
The rain was fallin' 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 Fall in' And I Could Not See That I Was To Be Plowed
And Sewn And Fer ti lized And Left To Drown
In his sunny afternoon
Cumulus clouds, 84 degree melody
Love rain down on me
On me down on me
Love rain down on me
On me down on me
Wide open wide loose the mistake was made
Love slipped from my lips and dripped down my chin and landed in his lap
And us became new
Me not clairvoyant and in love made me the fool
You were never true
If you didn't want me aw you should have let me know
All you did was make a mockery of somethin' so incredible beautiful
I honestly did love you so
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
