Before I Self Destruct (when It Rains) by JigsawKillah(m): 1:33pm On Dec 04, 2015 |
When it rains I run for cover Before these droplets kill a brother Dead men! They neither see nor talk No more being a hater, don't keep no grudge RIP George Palmer, you were too quick to punch Gettin' high on every drug, we don't need that much Stiff Chris would walk with a Rifle by his side G5s for the goons, cause trife, then we hide Guns don't kill people, but it's only right when they ride Till Don Busket got wet, five droplets hit his side Being a 'Mushi' is only how I survived this long Ramos says I'm too hard to live on writing songs I don't need to watch my back, when I walk these streets And pray a policeman don't rush a gat, and bust me quick When it rains I run for cover Before these droplets kill a brother It was 2003, I remember the tear gases Hankies soaked with Kerosene, firmly pressed to my nose The louvres at the rear crashes, fear grabs me Dad was in a hospital, I should keep death from my bro Bullets hit the nearby tank, I saw fire pass my face Tell Emmanuel, I knew I had the grace, my hands would shake My legs gave way, I slumped on the hard floor, Pastor said Fast and Pray That next day, bullets came from a gat that's stray, hit him, was he lacking faith? Officer Femi beating boys to death I'm the last of the Innocent voices left Robbed me off my Childhood lullabys, I prefer noise instead Then when I thought I found a way, I heard George is dead When it rains I run for cover Before these droplets kill a brother It's a stormy weather, it's about to rain heavily Kids tucked under the bed, droplets spray carelessly Pastors get on the floor, and pray endlessly Armageddon is here, but these are Satan's nemesis The Windvane points the Power Tussle, Political offices Brothers get wet for nothing but fake promises Shiny Berettas everywhere, what are they polished with? 'Shoot and Bounce' but this is no comic scene Never been a witness, although a bystander Don't fancy being on hitlists, getting shot from a highlander Learned how to stay neutral from my father I don't like the pitch, I'd watch from the sidelines and write rather When it rains I run for cover Before these droplets kill a brother 7 Likes 7 Shares |
