lyrics

Shareef
I love sitting out here the rain mere inches away
stray drops spattering patterns my pen makes/
tin roof sound, comfort of my own space,
theres nothing quite like it man- what can I say?

I could sit here for days if the rain would last
but rain never lasts and as soon as the storms past
I'm turning about as red as yellow is the grass-
so while this lasts let's enjoy the pause

walkin around oblivious smiling as the rain pours,
walking around like idiots soaked to the core,
it's the very source of all life forms existant,
you looking like idiots for trying to keep your distance

for instance, where would you be without it
and I'm not talking about having to have a cold shower
I'm talking no bread coz all you've got is the flour
think, just think about it

Percuss
it spatters in drips n drops, the rain
shielded from the insane people drivin in lanes
i'll sit inside, and keep my eyes open wide
fear of death keepin me from endin other people lives

when the roads wet, you dont wanna slip n slide
all you wanna be doin is try and keep ya peeps alive
so maybe ya got to ya destination a little late?
it's better than living with another fatality

the rain may rattle me, but i love it's relief
just hate all the idiotic things that people do in it
like waiting another 5 or running, just to stay dry
my bodies full of water, i'll think i'll assymilate it inside

got about 60 percent, of water inside me
no need to fear the rain more like embrace that its free
soak up the spatters, by taken a walk outside
yeah this is free matter and its fallin from the sky!

Percuss
some places it spatters in others it pours
overloading local rivers till they cant take no more
homes left broken, soaked and destroyed
leaving some locals flat broke and unemployed

oh if ya car washed away? what would you say?
a house thats full of water, didn't need stuff anyway!
but all your things are gone, prize posessions lost
here we are praising rain but I think you've got enough

Shareef
but my side of the country barely even gets clouds,
no doubt about it's all out fires and drought
few months ago the neighbourhood nearly burnt down
seventy two houses, all razed to the ground

It's like burn or drown, burn or drown
an uneven climate, from the north to the south
burn or drown, burn or drown
it’s an uneven climate and it’s my home town
