about

"Under The Weather" was a reaction to Nipsey Hussle’s death. Seeing how he was murdered by someone in his own gang, someone who was the same color as him, is a constant reminder that things aren’t changing in this world. The climate is so toxic that even though Nip was trying to help his community, unlike many of those who have that opportunity, he was murdered in front of his store due to the pain in someone else's heart. This feeling made me sick literally in the head and spirit. Hence "Under the Weather". - Ajani Jones

lyrics

why they kill nip in his own hood
i wonder what it take for a change
humans in a race for a change
and a range so it seems
enemies on the prowl for the murder
i pray for you softly
and all of yo family
cuz i know that a black man probably wanna off me
assault me
this feel like a soddom gmorrah
demons dance on the fire
what about the kings and the moors
forget that
get back cuz you shine and your wrist flash
swear black be a target
and momma worst fear is my coffin
and my sisters sobbing
wondering where i been often
they tell me to move with some caution

chorus
i don’t have to preach about that thing that i don’t know
member when the love was all we need and we want more
nowadays it’s problems and they breed at your front door
lately i been focused on my team cuz i want more
i don’t have to preach about that thing that i don’t know
member when the love was all we need and we want more
nowadays it’s problems and they breed at your front door
lately i been focused on my team cuz
i’m under the weather

i just wanna maintain
i just wanna maintain
tired of the same thangs
tired of the same thangs
x2

verse 2
why i gotta be ready for the wreck
when i brace for the shots to my neck like i’m X
and i moved far from the nest
empower my people
that live for the better
some how that revolves round a check
attent hut gotta watch where you step
any threat
on the go
in the wild
how you grow like rose
dead leaves wanna take yo soul
take a lap for the victory
you always live on
to be frank and that’s endlessly
and it’s no type of ministry to bring what you gave to the world
wonder why you ain’t clear the scene
i wonder just why we all feel the need
to be haters i’m tired of the cynic seeds
from chicago to slauson we feel the breeze
