| Here we go again
|
| That’s life
|
| Ooh, ooh, ooh… alright
|
| Can’t you see that it’s raining? |
| (hol' up)
|
| Can’t you see that it’s pouring?
|
| They just wanna see rainfall (hol' up)
|
| They just hope that it’s storming
|
| I was gonna tell you when it rains it pours
|
| Moder Nature’s playing her part
|
| C’mon, I don’t have a lot of time to tell you this
|
| But this is where we gon' start, hol' up
|
| Teenager from the North side of town
|
| It was a rainy day in Houston now
|
| Wasn’t no hoopers out, just people that would loot your house
|
| In a city where they used to smile, you could lose your child
|
| Think back when I heard a rap
|
| I would listen to the words of Chad and Bun B
|
| «Have you heard of that?"is what I heard them ask
|
| I never ever heard them laugh
|
| Uncle Ro was a street cat
|
| He was down with a Chi-town producer named Hurt-M-Badd
|
| He did Hail Mary for 2Pac
|
| When he spoke everybody listened to him like you heard the man
|
| I met them out Rap-A-Lot, I was droppin' of my partner Crime
|
| And I was really young at the time, I wasn’t even 'sposed to be there
|
| He asked me to come with him cause he knew I could rap some lines
|
| No problem, on the way driving everybody else working on their day job, and
|
| Don’t sell weight, no I ain’t robbing
|
| I’m a keep going, told 'em that I ain’t stopping
|
| Had rhymes I was tryna bust, I guess I said something that was live enough
|
| I had the type of vibe that these guys could trust
|
| And one said you should come out to the Chi with us
|
| Can’t do, it took a little while to get cool
|
| This relationship was brand new, but you know I had too
|
| Fast forward three months later, where do you think Cham flew?
|
| Touch down in a windy place, make a move to Chicago
|
| Work for survival, Vice Lords and Disciples
|
| «Stay gangsta"was the motto, really, what do I know?
|
| Well, I learned real quick how to not die
|
| Don’t wear your ball cap to the wrong side
|
| Matter fact, you don’t wanna get the wrong vibe
|
| Don’t wear the ball cap if you gon' ride
|
| It’s what he told me, and he was OG
|
| And when I listened to him I had did it closely
|
| It was cold so he brought me a coogi
|
| And matter fact he never told me «you owe me»
|
| Think about it that was cool as hell
|
| And I was try’na rap, tryna do it well
|
| He had that type of hustle that included scales
|
| The type of hustle that could put a dude in jail
|
| I slept on his couch, I had said my prayer
|
| Like, «why the hell did I move way out here?
|
| «How did I get this great idea?»
|
| Three months later I disappea… |
