feat. Mos Def

[Mos Def]

There was this daddy long leg 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

[Jill and Mos]

Love(love rain)rain(a rain down)down

(Said what you say i say love)love(love rain)rain

(A rain down)down(I said what you say I say love)love

(a love rain)rain(a rain down)down(I say what you say)

(Brand new and live from Jill Scott)

(Making the ghetto feel hot and say what you say)

(let'em know)

[Jill]

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

Chorus

[Jill]

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

Chorus

[Mos]

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...

[Jill and Mos]

(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

(Remember how we was overcome?) love rain

Repeat Jill Scotts verse

[Mos]

Just hold on to the moment love

I'ma do what I got to do

At night I still get hot for you

With this ? that I got for you

Just remember the moment love

Remember how we was over love

Shouldn't that just be enough

Shouldn't that just be enough

[Jill]

Yes, you broke me down

[Mos]

You got to rock with that

You got to rock with that

Jill Scott non stop with that

Said you got to rock with that

Make your shoulders neck back rock with that

Said you got to rock with that

Get up and do the diddly bop with that

Said you got to rock with that

Let it get up in your shoulders and bop with that

Said you got to rock with that

Get up in your necks and bounce with that

Ha Ha Jill Scott and Mos Def Sssss.....
