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 Met him on a thursday sunny afternoon c_ulus 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 b_erflies 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 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) There was this daddy long leg spider And she was the fly girl who didn't see the web And this is the story Thanks to DJ Rahdu for selecting and mixing them for our listening pleasure.Jill Scott Love Rain (Feat. Honey Molasses is a compilation of the artists that feel that Jill’s songs could somehow help tell their story. I’ve heard some joke that Jill’s songs are about either food or sex, and yet others that say Jill speaks to and for them. Apparently she picks them well Jill has the uncanny ability to connect to numerous demographics, an uncommon skill in todays stratified musical climate. She said that even without her, the music has to have a story of its own for her to write to it. Jill Scott made a comment during her performance on VH-1’s Storytellers about her music selection process that stuck with me. If you like songs about food and sex or just soulful music, this is probably the mix for you. The newest Okayplayer to get the Bama-Love-Soulquarian treatment is Miss Jill Scott.
