Why aren't we making the love we're in?
It could be the last time
You never want to throw that away
Why aren't we making the love we're in?
Less heart to heart, and more brain to brain
If you're feeling tender, I'm Novacain
Lets crash the party, I'll crash the plane
Why aren't we making the love we're in?
It could be the last time
You never want to throw that away
Why aren't we making the love we're in?
Even a beggar must have to choose.
They say you shouldn't wager more than you can lose
Make mine a double, just hold the booze
Why aren't we making the love we're in?
It could be the last time
You never want to throw that away
Why aren't we making the love we're in?
In, in
Anyone can make it but we're
In, in
Some will even fake it but we're
In, in
Why don't we just make the love we're in?
Why don't we just make the love we're in?

Love rain down on me,on me,down on me [4x]
Met him on a thursday,sunny afternoon
Cumulus clouds, 84 degrees
He was brown,deep
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,memories of shell topped adidas
He was fresh,like summer peaches
Sweet on my mind like block parties and penny candy
Us was nice and warm,no jacket,no umbrella,just warm
At night we would watch the stars
And he would pyhsically give me each and every one
I felt like cayenne pepper,red,hot,spicy
I felt Dizzy, Sonya, heaven, and Miles between my thighs
Better than love,we made delicious
He me had,had me he
He had me tongue tied
I could hear his rhythm in my thoughts
I was his sharp, his horn section
His boom and his bip
And he was my love
Love rain down on me,on me,down on me
The rain was fallin and,and slowly and sweetly and stinging my eyes
And I could not see that he became my voodoo priest
And I was his faithful concubine
Wide open,wide,loose like bowels after collard greens
The mistake was made
Love slipped from my lips
Dripped down my chin and landed in his lap
And us became new
Now me non-clairvoyant and in love
Made the coochie easy and the obvious invisible
The rain was falling
And I couldn't see the season changing
And the vibe slipping off it's axis
Our beautiful melody became wildly staccato
The rain was falling and I could not see
That I was to be plowed and sowed and fertilized
And left to drown in his sunny afternoon
Cumulus clouds,84 degrees,melody
Love rain down on me,on me,down on me [2x]
[Mos Def]
I stretched my arms towards the sky like blades of tall grass
The sun beat in between my shoulders like carnival drums
I sat still in hopes that it would help my wings grow
So then I would really be fly
And then she arrived
Like day break inside a railway tunnel
Like the new moon,like a diamond in the mines
Like high noon to a drunkard,sudden
She made my heart beat in a now-now time signature
Her skinny canvas for ultarviolet brushstrokes
She was the sun's painting
She was a deep cognac color
Her eyes sparkled like lights along the new city
She lips pursed as if her breath was too sweet
And full for her mouth to hold
I said,"You are beautiful,distress of mathematics."
I said,"For you, I would peel open the clouds like new fruit."
And give you lightning and thunder as dowry
I would make the sky shed all of its stars like rain
I would clasp the constellations around your waist
And I would make the heavens your cape
And they would be please to cover you
They would be pleased to cover you

I got away from coming to where I was coming from.
I got away. We're just thinking of our selves.
We're just taking side. We're just just selfish.
I got away. You leave.
Everyone seems to just be a product of their enviroment or their surroundings.
I know that's a well-known fact,
But it's sick that so many kids will go through the motions.
I mean, what are you trying to and what are you trying to prove?
Without question, if you're not really concerned, then okay,
But it seems to me we are just wasting our time,
Sometimes it's good to think
That I am at least a little bit different from most of my generation.

Nah, u ain the ordinary dime piece
Look, this is more than just a line see
Be comfortable, walk into it blindly
You the piece of the puzzle that blinds me
Got me twisted, doin all the right things
Captivated by yours eyes and ye light skin
Beautiful in the sun and when the lights dim
Searchin for the right girl, this is where the flight rims
Had a rough past. I'll repair the damages
Let me heal them, not with flimsy bandages
We could handle dem, the good and the challenges
With the negatives and positives, itll balance
Love... to get to you I need a spaceship
Cause the place you take me got me feelin weightless
We could touch dogs[? ] name yo consolations
Initiate the move with an invitation
[Chorus:]
Do you wanna da-a-ance
Take it real slo-o-ow
Find me on the safe side,
Honey you should know
Somebody told me it was love rain
Somebody told me it was love rain
[x2]
Nah, I ain lookin fo the flawless
Buh I want someone to walk with
The only time widout trippin what the clock says
And my body language speaks that I'm harmless
And I know that it's obvious I'm after ye
If I'm noticin yo hair and yo maniqures
Yup, and the other guys were amateurs
Test me on my physical and my mental stamina
Love, the way you look is jus a part of it
Love, the way you are is the heart of it
Can we build and fortified polish it
So we could love and minimize the audience[? ]
Let the situation blindless,
Leave the drama and the tears fall behind this
Sorta easy cause the way ye smile is timeless
People look for gold but I found me a diamond
[Chorus:]
Do you wanna da-a-ance
Take it real slo-o-ow
Find me on the safe side,
Honey you should know
Somebody told me it was love rain
Somebody told me it was love rain
