    KISS UPON YA SOUL

    This is for you, mon nar woman, me don't care. I know some of y'all at work right now. Wonderin and explorin different conflicting emotions. Is she the right one? Will he dog me like de rest? Me don know but I know this. If ya give up on love ya neva find it. I gwan tek meself away from dis adult world gone mad an rememba when love wasn't a dirty word, feel me now...

     

     

    Baby, oh baby, oh baby,

    I tell you things I tell no one else, come  morning I don't respect myself,

    you see, I don't know how to control,

    the feeling I get

    when you place dem kiss pon me soul,

    so many runnin' from whispers in the dark,

    swimmin' in the shallows with sharks,

    not even realizing the matriarchs and patriarchs,

    of de diaspora left us the directions to everlasting love,

     

    I cyan't fool myself no, what I say now, what I say,

    too much time at mental foreplay mek for a frustrating day,

    sometimes ya just gotta know, when to chill or go with the flow,

    either or eye-ther, sunny, party cloudy, rainy or stormy weather,

    so I go deep, way deep, within me,

    find dat room marked D'ee, exclusively,

    and find a way to rocka-me-roll,

    when ya place dem kiss pon me soul

     

    I always say I'm a grown, grown mon,

    tryin' to find a place ta hide beneath the towers of Babylon,

    find a secret society, with no rumors of war or innuendo,

    because when the cresendo,

    rises and dies, many of dem realize, they are still very much alone,

    holdin' de phone, wishing a lover come home,

    who don't really exist but in the dreams of a fool, love not cruel,

    stupidity is, feel me mon?

     

    De Summer heat meltin' plastic faces,

    so many differences, but one ting common in all the races,

    traces of cyanide, de Creator chose to hide,

    in the apple that we once bite,

    so I don't matter if she wrong, or he right,

    when two people fall in love dats when Sayton begin he fight,

    fightin' for the right to control,

    dem kisses pon your soul

     

    Whew, the how's the why's, I don't know, I don't care,

    the deceit, the sighs, buyer beware,

    the eyes, the window, be you big fish or minnow,

    the hellos, the goodbyes, the ask me nah question

    I tell ya no lies, the reprise, of another sad love song,

    playin' over and over and over,

    ignoring Jehovah, sayin your a universal soldier,

    when in actuality, you've become of victim of love's senitmentality,

    the Que Sera, the mental intifada, the moaning, the groaning,

    calling a playa's playa your big dadda,

    and then wonderin why, ya not he only chile,

    just wait a while, perfect ya style, and dance to the rhythm you make,

    only promise you cyan't break, is the one you made to you,

    to be forever true, to you,

    hear me now, hear me now

     

    I don't know why ya voice takes me to a special place,

    no memory is so bad it must be erased,

    because if you are here, then that means you survived,

    when many have emotionally died,

    I don't like titles, oh no,

    do you take this mon or woman is only apropos,

    when two people are married by God not mon,

    many prefer to snort love grams, very few know the meaning of the Psalms

     

    Baby, oh baby, tears are commonplace,

    if ya don't like salt, get used to the taste,

    hear ya boy now, the one emotion, true love devotion,

    is God's amazing grace,

    and when it go bad it feel like dying, being resurrected and being killed again,

    but believe in these words, be you lover or friend,

    in the end, the only way you can be accepted into Jah's fold,

    is to accept dem kiss pon ya soul

     

    When I sit and look across the bay,

    I know somewhere, over there, another mon or woman

    has fell under the sway,

    lovin' and touchin' and huggin,

    squeezin', believin' and buggin'

    mekkin love and hopin' for somethin real, for somethin real yeah

    but if you not real with yourself he or she won't come correct,

    oh they might, but is one night, worth losing your self-respect,

    baby, even if I love ya, I cyan't genuflect,

    to no one but Jesus the Christ, you see, everlasting life

    is love, and only love can defeat dem demons dat creep,

    into the garden, dem demons don't beg ya pardon,

    just mek your soul harden,

    to the point when ya cyan't see love comin'

    arrested in your development, never even received a summons

     

    Who knows me but you, and you don't even know,

    who says love is true, if you a terrorist, thinkin I cyan't resist,

    baby mek ya bomb go blow,

    in another mon heart, I learned long time ago to tell,

    love from lust apart, at the start,

    of every sentence is a capital letter,

    by the end of that thought I demand a period, an exclaimation point,

    no question mark, no mental joint, no come and get her,

    I need to know you are mine and I am yours,

    for the only way to survive wars and rumors of war,

    is to pay the eartly toll,

    to have everlasting love leave dem kisses pon ya soul

     

    If ya feel what I feel people say Amen,

    rememba ladies, there are many men,

    who beleive in love but are afraid to be hurt again,

    and brothers, don't give up pon she,

    remember always kings, nothing in this world is free,

    if it is worth loving for,

    yeah mon, the greatest stroy ever told,

    can neva be bought nor sold,

    long as you receive dem kisses pon ya soul

     

    Let me fade this...with a kiss
