Sunshowers Lyrics

I Bongo
with my lingo
and beat like a wing yo
to Congo
to Columbo
can't stereotype my thing yo
I salt and pepper my mango
shoot spit
out the window
bingo I got em in the thing yo
now what? I'm doing my thing yo>

quit bendin All my fingo
quit beating me like you're ringo
you wanna go?
you wanna win a war?
like P.L.O. I don't surrendo
the sunshowers that fall on my troubles
are you over my baby
and some showers I'll be aiming at you
'cos i'm watching you my baby

I bongo
with my lingo
and beat like a wing yo
to congo
to columbo
can't stereotype my thing yo

I checked that mouth on him
fucking checked that gas on him
I had him
cornered him
fucking shut that gate on him
why should you listen to him?
he had his way I'm bored of him
I'm tired of him
I don't wanna be as bad as him

its a bomb yo
so run yo
put away your stupid gun yo
'cos we see through like a protocol call
thats why we blow it up 'fore we go

the sunshowers that fall on my troubles
are you over my baby
and some showers I'll be aiming at you
'cos i'm watching you my baby

semi-9 and snipered him
on that wall they posted him
they cornered him>
And Then Just Murdered Him

he told them he didn't know them
he wasn't there they didn't know him
they showed him a picture then
ain't that you with the muslims?

he had colgate on his teeth
and Reebok Classic on his feet
at a factory he does Nike
and then helps the family

beat heart beat
he's made it to the Newsweek
sweetheart seen it
he's doing it for the peeps. peace

the sunshowers that fall on my troubles
are you over my baby
and some showers I'll be aiming at you
'cos i'm watching you my baby

The P.L.O is the Palestine Liberation Organization........Mtv refuses to play this music video just because of her reference that they will never surrender.

How lame.

That's a pretty damn reason to ban a song don't you think?

I have a feeling that this may be about her cousin that was a suicide bomber in Sri Lanka. She's mentioned him in alot of interviews and did a documentary on trying to find him where she went back to Sri Lanka only to find that he was already dead.

I fucking love this song. It makes me want to learn about Sri Lankan politics. I wish I knew more. M.I.A.= the only rap CD I've bought...basically ever.

Colombo is the Capital of Sri Lanka, where Maya's parents are from. Her father is/was invovled with the Tamil liberation effort in Sri Lanka. This song is somewhat terroristic, though the Tamils state they are looking for peaceful means to liberation and fair treatment.

This song is sort of heartbreaking at the end when he get's caught, 'he's doing it for the peeps...'

It's really great how she's able to combine this very serious stuff with outright party music, the only thing I can compare it to is classic period Public Enemy.

Check out the awesome Piracy Funds Terrorism version of this song, it uses the beat to Salt n Peppa's Push It.
