Love Rain
(Jill Scott, Vidal Davis)
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, dep
Said he wanted to talk about my mission
Listen to my past lives (words)
Took me on long walks to places where butterflies rest ez
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 lap and us became new
Now me non clairvoyant and in love
Made the coochie ez and the obvious invisible
The rain was fallin' and I could not see the season changing
and the vibe slipping off it's axis
Our beautiful melody became wildly staccato
The
Rain
Was
Fallin'
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 2X
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 something' so incredible beautiful
I honestly did love you so
Love rain down on me
On me down on me 4X
