[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.....
