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-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 physically give me each and every one I felt like cayenne pepper, red, hot, spicy I felt dizzy and so near 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-clarivoyant 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 (Repeat 1 in background) 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 stretched my arms towards the sky like blades of tall grass The sun beat between my shoulders like carnival 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 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 ultraviolet brushstrokes She was the sun's painting She was a deep cognac color Her eyes sparkled like lights along the new city Her lips pursed as if her breath was too sweet And full for her mouth to hold I said, "You are the beautiful, distress of mathematics." I said, "For you, I would peel open the clouds like new fruit And give you lightning and thunder as a dowry I would make the sky shed all of it's stars like rain And I would clasp the constellations across your waist And I would make the heavens your cape And they would be pleased to cover you They would be pleased to cover you May I please, cover you, please"
Slowly surely I walk away from that old desperate, and tainted love Caught up in a maze of love a crazy, crazy love Thought it was good, thought it was real Thought it was but it wasn't love
I just don't know Where I should go So slowly surely I walk away from self-serving, undeserving, constantly hurting me love Deserting me love You said, I said, We said but
Slowly surely I walk away from confusing love Misusing love, abusing love This cant be So Slowly surely I walk away from self-serving, undeserving, constantly hurting me love,
I just don't know Where I should go, no I just don't know, know, know, know Where I should go, so Slowly Surely I walk away from that old desperate and dead love Caught up in the maze of love The crazy craze of love Thought it was good thought it was real Thought it was but it wasn't love I just don't know Where to go So
Slowly Surely I walk away from I walk away from Slowly surely I walk away from love Oooooo Lonely One step at a time But surely I will pass the old love aside and loving Slowly surely I walk away from Slowly surely I walk away from Desperate love caught up in the maze of love Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy love, I
Slowly surely I walk away from x6 Slowly, slowly Slowly Surely
