lyrics

It's Raining In The Projects, But It's Sunny In Africa

Verse 1 Lovers in their homes, they share their bodies and they take their partners home. Little do they know, this place they gave them, it was never really home. When Marcy feels that pain, Soweto will try to find his bed again. But still he feels alone, day and night he waits and watches baobaos blow. Chorus: Let it rain, Let it rain, On me, On me.

Verse 2: Shackles to our bones, Nubian kingdoms burnt, now Brooklyn is our home. America they know, I gave them song and dance and watched my coffers grow. But still I feel this pain, like all I gave them was more loss than what we've gained. And brothers you should know, they gave you life, but I don't think they'll let it grow. Chorus: Let it rain, Let it rain, On me. On me.
