Prozak, Krizz Kaliko - Under the Rain lyrics

It's been a long time coming
And we stop singing We Shall
Overcome and negro spirituals
We are no longer humming
Just what are we becoming?
It pulls a piece of life up out of me
That for little or nothing you
Willin to battle me
And actually it's not an act
We unruly, shootin up schools, doin the fool
We got a knack
I been carryin guns since I was knee high
Till it all stopped
I stopped and now I'm watchin'
All my dogs die
This is the beginning of armageddon
We get high regardless
We godless so how high are we gettin'?
And we stay iced out in this land we on
See errantly on you
Losin your arm over the diamond
Try em on, here go my shoes
Now check the ways of racism and be
The first one singin the blues
Gods children are on every land we rhyme on
We share the same sky and gotta die
That's just what we got in common come on

We livin' up under the rain can't
Stop it from fallin' down
We livin' up under the storm can't
Stop it from brewing here
We livin' up under the rain can't
Stop it from fallin' down
We livin' up under the storm can't
Stop it from brewing here

They say you can not judge
A book by it's cover
But it seems somehow we be judgin'
One another because of color
Thinkin about the prejudice that
Plagues the human race
Even in God's grace, the people ain't safe
With all this hatin' that we face
Now check it
They say that Martin Luther King
He had a dream
But a dream is all it was because
A race still comes between us
We never did learn, watchin the crosses burn
In his grave he would toss and turn
How many times can he return? Now we must
Learn to stick together
And whether the stormy weather
We can never survive unless
We can coexist together
A nation that is united
But all of it's people divided
No more, we can not hide it
Politically tryin to justify it

We livin' up under the rain can't
Stop it from fallin' down
We livin' up under the storm can't
Stop it from brewing here
We livin' up under the rain can't
Stop it from fallin' down
We livin' up under the storm can't
Stop it from brewing here
We livin' up under the rain can't
Stop it from fallin' down
We livin' up under the storm can't
Stop it from brewing here
We livin' up under the rain can't
Stop it from fallin' down
We livin' up under the storm can't
Stop it from brewing here
