Music.





Vibin to: Jill Scott Volume I.


Funny, Jill Scott has been a fan of mines since "You Got Me" intro with the roots, "Getting In My Way" sold me! Her voice is strong poetic&full. A poet, she lives her life transparent still private enough to see into without overindulging/invading. Besides, a soul as such can't keep life's goings on to Self. Need to heal, from through with despite It All,



write it & make it plain, so to speak.


But this here..this is Myra's poem/song.


Jill Scott Love Rain (head nod Remix)
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]
[ Find more Lyrics on
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 healing
(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 so in love?) love rain
(Remember how we was overcome?) love rain

Repeat Jill Scott's 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.....

How real are these gathering of words? Thanks Jill&Mos
