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!
Took me on long walks to places where butterflies rest
Easy, talked about moses and mumia
Reparations, blue colors and memories of the shell Tops
Aww yeah yeah he was fresh
Like summer peaches sweet on my mind like block parties
And penny candy oh oh
The rain was falling slowly and sweetly
And stinging my eyes and i could not see that
He became my voodoo priest and i his faithful concubine
Oh oh oh oh (mos chanting in african dialect)
Wide open wide the mistake was made
(don't front, you know i got you open)
Love slipped from my lips, dripped down my chin
And landed in his lap and us became brand new
And the sky was blue
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 whisper (damn)
Blue train title track playing on the system
Listen "la da di da da"
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 diff from before you wasn't rifting before
"i want that old thing back" baby gimme some more
When clouds huddle in the sky
And tears well 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)mending myself, love concealing
(just remember the moment love, don't get vexed and blow me up)
The pain(just hold on to the moment love)love rain
(remember how we was in love?) love rain
