Sunshowers
Diplo and MIA Lyrics

I bongo with my lingo and beat it like a wing yo
I express myself through unique language and music, vigorously and confidently

To congo to Colombo can't stereotype my thing yo
I refuse to be typecast or limited by societal expectations, whether in Africa or Asia

I salt and pepper my mango shoot spit out the window
I season my life with excitement and unpredictability, adding flavor to mundane routines

Bingo I got them in the thing yo now what? I'm doing my thing yo
I have gained success and recognition for my creative pursuits, and I am continuing to pursue them with enthusiasm

Quit bending all my fingo quit beating me like you're ringo
Stop trying to control or harm me, like a bully or oppressor

You wanna go? you wanna win the war?
Are you seeking conflict or competition with me?

Like P.L.O. I won't surrender
Similar to the Palestine Liberation Organization, I refuse to give up or submit to oppressive forces

The sun showers that fall on my troubles
The moments of happiness and beauty in life that temporarily alleviate personal struggles

Are over you my baby
I am grateful for your presence and love, which brightens my life

And some showers I'll be aiming at you
I will share those moments of joy and comfort with you, to reciprocate your care and affection

'Cause I'm watching you my baby
Because I am always mindful of and devoted to you

I checked that mouth on him fucking checked that gas on him
I confronted and silenced his disrespectful words, also confirming he was unarmed

I had him, cornered him
I had successfully caught and immobilized him

Fucking shut that gate on him
I made sure he was contained and unable to escape

Why would you listen to him?
Questioning the credibility or authority of someone promoting negativity or hate

He had his way I'm bored of him
I am tired of seeing him get away with causing trouble, and I am done with his antics

I'm tired of him
I am emotionally drained and exhausted from dealing with him

I don't wanna be as bad as him
I refuse to stoop to his level of negativity or violence

It's a bomb yo so run yo
This situation or idea is explosive and dangerous, so be cautious and avoid it

Put away your stupid gun yo
Rejecting the use of weapons or violence to solve conflicts

'Cause we see through like a protocol call
We are aware and informed, and able to detect deception or manipulation

That's why we blow it up' fore we go
We expose and dismantle harmful systems or ideas before moving on

Semi-9 and snipered him
He was killed by a sniper using a Semi-Automatic 9mm handgun

On that wall they posted him
His dead body was publicly displayed and used as a warning

They cornered him
They successfully trapped and overpowered him

And then just murdered him
They killed him without mercy or justification

He told them he didn't know them
He denied any involvement or knowledge of their intentions

He wasn't there, they didn't know him
He had no connection or affiliation with their plans or actions

They showed him a picture then
They used visual evidence to incriminate or frame him

Ain't that you with the Muslims?
Questioning his loyalty or patriotism based on a false association

He had Colgate on his teeth and Reebok classics on his feet
He was just a regular person, with nothing out of the ordinary

At the factory he does Nike and then helps the family
He works hard to provide for himself and his loved ones, with no malicious intent

Beat heart beat he's made it to the news week
His tragic story has gained widespread attention and coverage

Sweetheart seen it
His loved ones have witnessed and suffered from his death

He's done it for the peeps. peace.
He was fighting for the well-being and rights of his community, seeking peace and justice
