Love Rain (Head Nod Mix)

There was this daddy long legs spider who spun his lyrics between the trees

And she was the fly girl who didn't see the web

And this is the story, ha

Love rain down (Love rain, a-rain down, I say, "Whatchu see?")

(I say love, a-love rain, a-rain down, I say, "Whatchu see?") Love rain down

(I say love, a-love rain, a-rain down, I say, "Whatchu see?") Love rain down

(Brand new and live with Jill Scott, making the ghetto feel hot) Love rain down

I say, "Whatchu see?", a-let 'em know

Met him on a Thursday

Sunny afternoon, cumulus clouds, 84 degrees

He was brown

Said he wanted to talk about my mission

Listen to my past lives

Word, uh

Took me on long walks to places where butterflies rest easy

Talked about Moses and Mumia

Reparations through colors, memories of shell-tops

Oh yeah, yeah, he was fresh

Like summer peaches

Sweet on my mind like block parties and penny candy, oh-oh-oh

Love rain down (A-rain down, I say, "Whatchu see?")

(I say love, a-love rain, a-rain down, I say, "Whatchu see?") Love rain down

(I say love, a-love rain, a-rain down, I say, "Whatchu see?") Love rain down

(I say love, a-love rain, a-rain down, I say, "Whatchu see?", ha-ha) Love rain down

The rain was fallin' slowly and sweetly

And stinging my eyes and I could not see

That he became my voodoo priest

And I his faithful concubine

Wide, open wide, the mistake was made

Love slipped from my lips

Dripped down my chin and landed in his lap and us became brand new, and the sky was blue (New Jill Scott everybody, c'mon)

Love rain down, no, no (Love rain, a-rain down, I say, "Whatchu see?")

(I say love, a-love rain, a-rain down, I say, "Whatchu see?") Love rain down

(I say love, a-love rain, a-rain down, I say, "Whatchu see?") Love rain down

(I say love, a-love rain, I said it's comin', said it's comin', said it's comin', said it's comin', said it's) Love rain down

Yo, it was half past dusk, you were rocking black musk

When your chariot stop low, I made the clock wind slow

Grabbed my hips, curled a kiss across my lips like a whipser (Man)

Blue Train title track playing on the system, listen

"Ba-do-dah-doo-dah-dah"

It's John C, you hum the melody in pitch and on key

You was my quiet storm water sign, pushed me to the borderline

Love that rumbled all the time, kept my senses on the grind

Sweeter than some foreign wine

The original raw, branded sweet like a cinnamon straw

You was my hardest distraction, my bombest distraction

My deepest inspiration, my heat, my frustration

But you different before, you wasn't riffing before

"I want that old thing back", baby, gimme some more

When clouds huddle in the sky and tears well up in your eye, just

Hold on to the moment, love

Yes, you broke me but I'm human

Even now that it's over, love, remember how it was over love?

How deep we was overcome? Just remember the moment, love

Mending myself, love concealing

Don't get vexed and blow me up

The pain

Just hold on to the moment, love

Love rain

Remember how we was so in love?

Love rain

Remember how we was overcome?

Yes, you broke me but I'm human

Just hold on to the moment, love, I'ma do what I got to do

At night, I still get hot for you

Mending myself, love concealing

Got nothing, I got for you

Just remember the moment, love

The pain

Remember how it was over love?

Love rain

Shouldn't that just be enough?

Love rain

Shouldn't that just be enough?

Shouldn't that just be enough?

Yes, you broke me down

You got to rock with that

You got to rock with that

Jill Scott non-stop with that

Say, you got to rock with that

Make your shoulders, necks, back rock with that

Say, you got to rock with that

Get up and do the diddly bop with that

Say, you got to rock with that

Let it get up in your shoulders and bop with that

Say, you got to rock with that

Get up in your necks and bounce with that

Ha-ha, Jill Scott, Mos Def, sss-sss-sss-sss
