Lyrics
I bongo with my lingo
Beat it like a wing yo
From congo to columbo
Cant stereo-type my thing yo
I salt and pepper my mangos
Shoot, spit out the window
Bingo I gotta em in the thing yo
Now what? Im doing my thing yo
Quit bending all my fingo
Quit beatin me like your ringo
You want to go you want to win a war
Like p.l.o we dont surrendo
Sunshowers that fall on my troubles
Are over you my baby
And some showers Ill be aiming at you
'cause Im watching you my baby
I bongo with my lingo
Beat it like a wing yo
From congo to columbo
Cant stereo-type my thing yo
I checked that mouth on him
Fucking check that gas on him
I had him cornered him
Fucking shut that gate on him
Why would you listen to him
He had his way Im bored of him
Im tired of him
I dont want to be as bad as him
Its a bomb yo
So run yo
Put away your stupid gun yo
'cause see though like a protocol call
Which is why they blow it up fore they go
Sunshowers that fall on my troubles
Are over you my baby
And some showers Ill be aiming at you
'cause Im watching 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 didnt know them
He wasnt there they didnt know him
They showd him a picture then
Aint that you with the muslims
He got colgate on his teeth
and reeebok classics on his feet
at a factory he does Nike
and then helps the family
Beat heart beat
Hes made it to the newsweek
Sweetheart seen it
Hes doing it for the peeps peace
Sunshowers that fall on my troubles
Are over you my baby
And some showers Ill be aiming at you
'cause Im watching you my baby
The accompanying video was shot in the South Indian jungle and directed by the acclaimed Rajesh Touchriver. Rajesh shot to fame last year with his directorial debut, the award winning In The Name of Buddha. Set in Sri Lanka, it portrayed the three-way struggles between the Tamils, Sinhalese and Indian 'peacekeepers' and was willing court controversy in order to tell a realistic story.
