3.Exclusively
Hello 13x
Mmmmmm,this morning my man exclusively introduced me
To some good extra lovin
He was lickin, and suckin on everything, just the way he should
This morning's extra lovin was good
We lay there sweaty, sex funky, happy as we want to be
Lovin exclusively, my man and me all night all morning
So our stomachs were growlin, hungrily
So i jumped up and rushed to the store
In hopes of coming back and getting a little more of
This morning's good extra lovin
At the market the people were pushing and shoving
Trying to be the next in line, the turn was mine
The new girl at the counter was cute, but not as fine as me
Was this some kind of women's intuition, some kind of insecurity
Nah, cuz my man is happy at home lovin me exclusively
So i shook my head, wassup§
hello,§ she smiled as she rung me up
Orange juice $3.29, croissants $4.85
She sniffed, butter 89
She sniffed, strawberries $1.50 a pint
She sniffed, and sniffed, and sniffed, and sniffed again
And then replied, raheemright？§
Right

Jumped outta bed, took a shower, dressed, cleaned up my place

10.Honey Molasses
honey molasses
Ebony majesty
Chocolate brown sugar
Sweet epiphany
I waited for your call but you chooz not to call me
I wonder what happened
Were you inside a safe space and too i wondered
Were you thinking about me and if you were
Why was i feeling so lonely
By the phone
Alone to the bone
Although the night before you were in my home, my body, my dome
In a circle of passion we paris, italy, japan, africa, roam
We made music
We trombone
It was magic the way it happened
Pure electricity
I felt so inspired and afraid at the same time
I don't know whether to sing or to rhyme
Call me
Honey molasses
Ebony majestry
Chocolate brown sugar
Sweet epiphany
(spoken)
Jill：
Hi, um...i was calling...i...

Alright...i hope you'll call me back ＆
I'll talk to you...then...i...
(phone picks up)
Guy：
Hello？ hello？ hello？
Jill：
Hello？
(fade into 'love rain')
11.Love Rain
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 and so near the heavens and miles between my thighs
Better than love,we made delicious
He me had,had me he
He made 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}
In 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
May i please,cover you,please.
Yeah, yeah, yeah...

13.Slowly Surely
Slowly surely, slowly surely
I'll walk away from
That old desperate and tainted love
Caught up in a maze of love
The crazy crazy love
Thought it was good
Thought it was real
Thought it was
But it wasn't love
I just don't know
Where i should go
So
Slowly surely
I'll walk away from
Self-serving
Undeserving
Constantly hurting me love
Deserting me love
You said, i said, we said
But
Slowly surely
I'll walk away from
Confusing love
Misusing love
Abusing love
This can't be
Slowly surely
I'll walk away from
Self serving
Undeserving
Constantly hurting me love
I just don't know
Where i should go
No
I just don't know
Know, know, know
Where i should go
So
Slowly surely
I'll walk away from
That old desperate and dazed love
Caught up in the maze of love
The crazy craze of love
Thought it was good
Thought it was real
Thought it was
But it wasn't love
I just don't know where to go
So
Slowly surely
I'll walk away from
I'll walk away from
Slowly surely
I'll walk away from love
Oh
Lonely, surely one step at a time
But surely
I will pass the old love aside
And love me
Lonely,
Surely i'll walk away from
Slowly surely i'll walk away from desperating love
Caught up in the maze love
Crazy crazy crazy love
Slowly surely, i'll walk away from (repeat 5 times)
Slooooooowly suuuuuuurely, slowly surely
14.One Is The Magic #
No hay nadie mas que yo, uno es el numero magico
En vida y en muerte, uno es todo... comprende
If i multiply 2 times 2 is it really, really 4 me (la 6x)
And if i add 5 to get 9 minus 8 that just leaves me (me 8x)
So many times i define my pride through somebody else's eyes (la
da da, la da)
Then i looked inside and found my own stride, i found the
lasting love for me
If i'm searching for my spirituality passionately i must begin
with me
There's just me...one is the magic number 2x
If i add myself unto myself multiplied times you and yours and
you again
There's just me
And if i divide 8 billion, 48 trillion, 98 zillion
There is... there is just me
If i subtract one plus me to the 5th degree, use any theorem
There's just me
There's just me...one is the magic number 2x
Me, me, me, me...
(ad lib until end)
15.Watching Me
watching me (7 times)
Ah
Watching me (7 times)
Ah
(yawn)
First thing when i wake up
And right before i close my eyes at night
I think,
Sense,
Feel man like
I'm under some kind of microscope
Satellites over my head
Transmitters in my dollars
Hawking, watching, scoping, jocking
Scrutinizing me
Checking to see what im doing
Where i be
Who i see
How and where and with whom i make my money
What is this？？
Excuse me miss
May i have your phone number and your social security ？
Who me？
When all i came to do is buy my double or triple a batteries
Please
I decline!!!
Watching me (7 times)
Ah
Watching me (7 times)
Ah
Look here at this watch of mine
Gotta open it up
Don't know who's been in it
Tracking where i go
Finding out all my business
Se-cur-i-ty
Video cameras locked on me
In every dressing room
On every floor
In every store
Damn can i get that democracy and
Equality and privacy
You busy watching me, watching me
That you're blind baby
You neglect to see
The drugs coming into my community
Weapons coming into my community
Dirty cops in my community
And you keep saying that i'm free
(3 times )
Busy watching me
Ah
Watching me ( 7 times)
Ah
Watching me (7 times)
I ain't got no bars to this cage
If i'm gonna stay here
I'm gonna build me a lead house
Keep them satellites out
Direct tv
Am i watchin' it or is it watchin' me？
Man i don't really know
But i feel like
I feel like i'm being scoped y'all
Watch y'all
Somethin' ain't right (2 times)
Chorus
And you keep sayin' that i'm free (6 times)
Ah
And you keep sayin' that i'm free (6 times)
Ah

Chorus and ad-libs
17.Show Me
If i asked you to trust me on all things,
Could you do it？
If i needed you to map your position,
Would you try it？
Your constantly talking about how much you love me, want me,
need me, you told me stop talking.
No more conversation necessary.
Show me, show me, show me, show me, show me, show me, show me,
show me, show me.
Show me, show me, show me, show me, show me.
If i needed you to replenish my faith in brothers,
Could you do it？
If i needed you to be, cool with my strength,
Could you do it？
Your constantly talking about how much you love me, want me,
need me, you told me stop talking.
No more conversation necessary.
Show me, show me, show me, show me, show me, show me, show me,
show me, show me.
Show me, show me, show me, show me, show me.
Your word is love but you push me away, and won't say why.
You show me your exterior, i need to see your interior, i need
to be absolutely clear wit cha, if we are to ever stand a
chance.
It's the last dance, don't you see, show me the warrior you're
born to be.
Warrior keep fightin, i know you're there.
Keep fightin, warrior i know you're there.
Repeat until end
