Words....I love these words

A long walk......I love Jill Scott...just had to share these words


Verse 1

You're here, I'm pleased I really dig your company
Your style, your smile, your peace mentality
Lord, have mercy on meI was blind, now I can see
What a king's supposed to be
Baby I feel free, come on and go with me

Chorus 1

Let's take a long walk around the park after dark
Find a spot for us to spark
Conversation, verbal elation, stimulation
Share our situations, temptations, education, relaxations
Elevations, maybe we can talk about Surah 31:18

Verse 2

Your background it ain't squeaky clean shit
Sometimes we all got to swim upstream
You ain't no saint, we all are sinners
But you put your good foot down and make your soul a winner
I respect that, man you're so phat
And you're all that, plus supreme
Then you're humble man I'm numbYo with feeling,
can feel everything that you bring

Chorus 2

Let's take a long walk around the park after dark Find a spot for us to spark Conversation, verbal elation, stimulation Share our situations, temptations, education, relaxations Elevations, maybe we can talk Revalation 3:17

Bridge

Or maybe we can see a movie
Or maybe we can see a play on Saturday (Saturday)
Or maybe we can roll a tree and feel the breeze and listen to a symphony
Or maybe chill and just be, or maybeMaybe we can take a cruise and listen to the Roots or maybe eat some passion fruit Or maybe cry to the blues Or maybe we could just be silentCome on, Come on

Repeat Chorus 2 x 2
Repeat Bridge
Chorus 3

Let's take a long walk around the park after darkFind a spot for us to sparkConversation, verbal elation, stimulationShare our situations, temptations, education, relaxationsElevations, maybe baby, maybe we can save the on, come on

  1. Love that song too even tho i think Ms Scott is no longer as good as she used to be!

    On the other hand, India.Arie is the way, the truth and the light with regards to neo-soul! the lyrics to her songs r always very profound, melody on point...satisfaction guaranteed...inshort, she IS the truth! :)
