Brotha To The Night

Say Baby...
Can I be yo' slave?
I got to admit girl, you're the shit girl
And I'm diggin' you like a grave.
Now do they call
"Daughter to the Spinning Pulsar"
Or maybe the Queen of 10,000 moons?
Sister to the Distant yet Rising Star?
Is your name Yemaya?
Oh, hell no.
Its got to be Oshun.
Ooohhh...
is that a smile me put on your face child...
wide as a field of jasmine and clover?
Talk that talk, honey.
Walk that walk, money.
High on legs that'll spite Jehovah. Shit.
Who am I?
It's not important.
But they call me Brotha to the Night.
And right now...
Im the blues in your left thigh...
Trying to become the funk in your right.
Who am I?
I'll be whoever you say!
But right now I'm the sight raped-hunter...
Blindly pursuing you as my prey.
And I just want to give you injections
Of sublime erections,
And get you to dance to my rhythm.
Make you dream archetypes...
Of black angels in flight...
Upon wings of distored, contorted
Metaphoric Jizm.
Come on slim...
Fuck yo' man!,
I ain't worried about him.
It's you who I want to step to my scene.
'Cause rather the deal with fallacy...
Of this dry-ass reality
I'd rather dance and romance your sweet ass
In a wet dream.
Who am I?
Hmpph
Well they all call me Brotha to the Night.
And right now,
Im the blues in your left thigh...
Trying to become the funk in your right.

Is that all right?

Complicated Melody

If he were a color...
He'd be a deep dark forest green
If he were a car...
He'd be a long stretch limousine
With room for all of humanity inside
Cause he is so giving
And he is so wise
If he were a number...
He'd be a five
cause he has such a brilliant mind
If were an animal...
He'd be an jackass
cause he's so stubborn sometimes

But if he were a song...
He'd be a complicated melody
That complicated fellow he
That almost cannot be sung on key
But he means the world to me

If he were a building...
He'd be a beautiful cathedral
Cause he's so traditionally spiritual
If he were a dance...
He'd be complicated like the tango
Exotic like a mango

But if here a song...
He'd be a complicated melody
That complicated fellow he
That almost cannot be sung on key
But he means the world me

He ain't the reason for the
sun and the moon
He is just the reason for
this complicated tune
Cause he means the world to me
Complicated melody
That complicated fellow he
He's a complicated melody
That almost cannot be sung on key...

If I wrote note to God

i was riding in the car yesterday and my Ipod is on Shuffle . and this song came on , and i'm like, "what song is this?" and a angelic voice starting singing . and im like "dude. thats jojo." Man, this song touched my soul . because i've actually written a note to God and felt this exact way . just read these lyrics . you'll see what im talking about .





Jojo - If I wrote a note to God

If I wrote a note to God
I would speak whats in my soul
I'd ask for all the hate to be swept away and
For the love to overflow
If I wrote a note to God
I'd pour my heart out on each page
I'd ask for wars to end
For peace to mend this world

If I wrote a note to God
I would say what's on my mind
I'd ask for wisdom to let compassion rule this world
Until these times
If I wrote a note to God
I'd say please help us find our way
End all the bitterness, put some tenderness in our hearts
No, We can't do it on our own
So I'd say. . .

Give us the strength to make it through
Help us find love cause love is over due
And it looks like we haven't got a clue
Need some help from you
Grant us the faith to carry on
Give us hope when it seems all hope is gone
Cause it seems like so much is goin wrong
On this road we're on , this is

If I wrote a note to God
