#192 - LOVE JONES

Twenty-five years ago the film industry gave us "Love Jones," a timeless love story that took us on a journey into black love. The film starred Larenz Tate and Nia Long as the lovestruck male and female leads. It also gave us some poetry that still strikes nerves to this day of which my absolute favorite is "A Blues For Nina," performed by Larenz Tate.

You pay closer attention when he tells you that he "is the blues in your left thigh, trying to become the FUNK in your right." — Love Jones

♫ Say baby, can I be your slave? I’ve got to admit girl, you’re the shit girl And I’m diggin’ you like a grave. Now do they call you daughter to the spinnin’ post, or Or maybe Queen of ten thousand moons; Sister to the distant, yet risin’ star… Is your name Yimmy-Ya? Oh hell nah, it’s got to be Oshun. Oooh, is that a smile me put on your face child? Wide as a field of Jasmine and Glover Talk that talk honey; walk that walk money, Hound legs that’ll spank Jehovah Shit… who am I? It’s not important But they call me Brother to the Night And right now I’m the blues in your left thigh Tryin’ 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 wanna 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 distorted, contorted, metaphoric jism. Come on slim, Fuck yo’ man, I ain’t worried about him It’s you who I wanna step to my scene, Cause rather than deal with the fallacy Of this dry-ass reality, I rather dance and romance your sweet ass in a wet dream. Who am I? Well they all call me Brother to the Night And right now, I’m the blues in your left thigh Tryin’ to become the funk in your right. Is that alright? ♫

— Love Jones, performed by Larenz Tate
