I bongo with my lingo
And beat it like a wing, yo
To Congo to Colombo
Can't stereotype my thing, yo
I salt and pepper my mango
Shoot spit out the window
Bingo I got 'em in the thing, yo
Now what? I'm doing my thing, yo
Quit bending all my fingo
Quit beating me like you're Ringo
You wanna go?
You wanna win a war?
Like P.L.O. I don't surrendo
The sunshowers that fall on my troubles
Are over you, my baby
And some showers I'll be aimin' at you
'Cos I'm watchin' you, my baby
I bongo with my lingo
And beat it like a wing, yo
To Congo to Colombo
Can't stereotype my thing, yo
I checked that mouth on him
Fuckin' check my gas on him
I had him, cornered him
Fuckin' shut that gate on him
Why would you listen to him?
He had his way, I'm bored of him
I'm tired of him
I don't wanna be as bad as him
It's a bomb, yo, so run, yo
Put away your stupid gun, yo
'Coz we see through like a protocol
That's why we blow it up 'fore we go
The sunshowers that fall on my troubles
All over you, my baby
And some showers I'll be aimin' at you
'Cos I'm watchin' you, my baby
The sunshowers that fall on my troubles
Are over you, my baby
And some showers I'll be aimin' at you
'Cos I'm watchin' you, my baby
Semi-9 and snipered him
On that wall they posted him
They cornered him
And then just murdered him
He told them he didn't know them
He wasn't there they didn't know him
They showed him a picture then
"Ain't that you with the Muslims?"
He got Colgate on his teeth
And Reebok classics on his feet
At a factory he does Nike
And then helps the family
Beat heart beat
He's made it to the Newsweek
Sweetheart seen it
He's doin' it for the peeps peace
The sunshowers that fall on my troubles
Are over you, my baby
And some showers I'll be aimin' at you
'Cos I'm watchin' you, my baby
The sunshowers that fall on my troubles
Are over you, my baby
And some showers I'll be aimin' at you
'Cos I'm watchin' you, my baby
The sunshowers that fall on my troubles
Are over you, my baby
And some showers I'll be aimin' at you
'Cos I'm watchin' you, my baby
