[Verse 1]
Yo
We headed into some fucked up weather for real man
I swear its like it rained on my parade and the street fair
Damn, thats two (?) parties
One voice, one vote, no choice
But I brought my umbrella shit I feel prepared
We on the 4th part
This pice of mind gives me peace of mind
But these war time (?) is scary
Schools lack, jails are packed, insurance is wack
Civil rights remain under attack, status quo is a tag
Whether you black, brown, yellow, red, white, or somewhere in between
You live and die for the green
Or whatever color your country is
Cream is the theme
Its fuck yours give me mine it seems
Just look around
Snapshots of blocks show haves the have nots
Add sound
You get cries, laughs, curses, and shots
Blood flowing through the streets like it never clots
The rains coming down like it never stops
[Hook]
Its going down god
Its coming down hard
Its like a set up so many getting wet up
Its hard to keep your head up
So many fallen but you gotta get up
Whether you're ready for the weather or not
Its going down god
Its coming down hard
Its like a set up, so many getting wet up
You gotta keep your head up
Yo, we gotta weather the storm
Whether you're ready for the weather or not
[Verse 2]
Thunder and lightning clappnig hard giving your heart pause
Different good old boys for the same old cause
Fuck junior senior should have see ya fore warned
But half a score later who would have foreseen four more
Its got ya saing "Why do I even bother to vote?" or
"I wish my vote would have counted maybe four score more"
The storms electrical trick, electorate shit
Not just a drizzle, when it rains it pours
We on a war tour against Muhammad my man
With a constitution, Bible, and gat in his hands
From Afgan to Iraq, whats next Iran?
Its like were playing cowboy on the next man's land
Shots play with real live action figures with figures of figures
Poor man's hands fire rich man's triggers
Noble and quiet, selfless in the line of fire
(?) a god, but if and when they retire
Meanwhile back in fill-in-the-blank
The realness, the foundation looks like it got hit by a tank
Ghettos
That old term before the worst German burnin' fire
Spreadin' through the urban like a third world turnin'
Snapshots of blocks show the haves the have nots
Add sound
You get cries laughs, curses, and shots
The bloods pouring through the streets like it never clots
A war on drugs and terror but it never stops
[Hook x2]
