[Krizz Kaliko] 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 stoped 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.
[Chorus] We livin' up under the rain... can't stop it from fallin' down We livin' up another storm... can't stop it from movin'... hey We livin' up under the rain... can't stop it from fallin' down We livin' up another storm... can't stop it from movin'... hey
[Prozak] They say you can not judge a book by it's cover But it seems somehow we be judgin' one another because of cover 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
[Chorusx]x2 We livin' up under the rain... can't stop it from fallin' down We livin' up another storm... can't stop it from movin'... hey We livin' up under the rain... can't stop it from fallin' down We livin' up another storm... can't stop it from movin'... hey
