1
Love rain down on me, on me, down on me
2
Met him on a Thursday, sunny afternoon
3
Cumulus clouds, 84 degrees
4
He was brown, deep
5
Said he wanted to talk about my mission
6
Listen to my past lives (Word?)
7
Took me on long walks to places where butterflies rest easy
8
Talked about Moses and Mumia
9
Reparations, blue colors, memories of shell top adidas
10
He was fresh, like summer peaches
11
Sweet on my mind like block parties and penny candy
12
Us was nice and warm, no jacket, no umbrella, just warm
13
At night we would watch the stars
14
And he would physically give me each and every one
15
I felt like cayenne pepper, red, hot, spicy
16
I felt Dizzy and Sonia, heaven and Miles between my
17
Thighs
18
Better than love, we made delicious
19
He me had, had me he
20
He had me tongue tied
21
I could hear his rhythm in my thoughts
22
I was his sharp, his horn section
23
His boom and his bop
24
And he was my love
25
Love rain down on me, on me, down on me
26
The rain was fallin and,and slowly and sweetly and stinging
27
My
28
Eyes
29
And I could not see that he became my voodoo priest
30
And I was his faithful concubine
31
Wide open, wide, loose like bowels after collard greens
32
The mistake was made
33
Love slipped from my lips
34
Dripped down my chin and landed in his lap
35
And us became new
36
Now me non-clairvoyant and in love
37
Made the coochie easy and the obvious invisible
38
The rain was falling
39
And I couldn't see the season changing
40
And the vibe slipping off its axis
41
Our beautiful melody became wildly staccato
42
The rain was falling and I could not see
43
That I was to be plowed and sowed and fertilized
44
And left to drown in his sunny afternoon
45
Cumulus clouds, 84 degrees, melody
46
Love rain down on me, on me, down on me (2x)
47
Wide open wide loose
48
The mistake was made
49
Love slipped from my lips
50
Dripped down my chin and
51
Landed in his lap
52
And us became new
53
Me not clairvoyant and in love
54
Made me the fool
55
You were never true
56
If you didn't want me
57
Ah you should have let me know
58
All you did was make a mockery of
59
Of something so incredible, beautiful
60
I honestly did love you so.....
61
Love rain down on me, on me, down on me
62
(Mos Def:)
63
I stretch my arms towards the sky like blades of tall grass,
64
The sun beat between my shoulders like carnival drums.
65
I sat still and hoped it would help my wings grow
66
So then I could really be fly.
67
And then she arrived.
68
Like daybreak inside a railway tunnel,
69
Like the new moon,
70
Like a diamond in the mines,
71
Like high noon to a junker,
72
Sudden...
73
She made my heart beat in the now, now time signature,
74
Her skin a canvas for ultra violet brush strokes.
75
She was the sun's painting,
76
She was a deep cognac color,
77
Her eyes fall for that lights along the new city,
78
Her lips purse as if her breath was too sweet and full for her mouth to hold.
79
I said:
80
"You are the beautiful distress of mathematics,"
81
I said:
82
"For you, I will peal open the clouds like new fruit,
83
And give you lightning and thunder as a dowry,
84
I will make the sky shed all of its stars like rain,
85
And I will cast the constellations across your waste,
86
And I will make the heavens your keep.
87
And they will be pleased to cover you,
88
They will be pleased to cover you,
89
May I please... cover you...
90
...please...
