Rain Dance |
I remembered when I discovered purpose |
I was good at something, finally worth it |
Told my father that I’ma be an artist |
Foreign parents don’t understand we got newer options |
They flee their countries, protect their families, pursuing progress |
They think in needs, we think of wants, the views are parted |
I want to be like Dr. Dre, they want degrees from Harvard |
An engineer that slide the fader, not designing rockets |
I’m in the lab without a beaker but the speakers knocking |
Making art in broken English, they mistake as nonsense |
The only language understood is income |
So I got good at business plans as well as making rhythm |
I took this art so serious |
It made any girl I dated so furious |
And put tears in they eyes that wouldn’t dry, so they turned into rain |
So many lessons that I was learning through pain |
Rain dance |
When I was younger I was all about the ladies |
Quick to do them wrong, even quicker to call them crazy |
'Cause I ain’t see the harm in leading on somebody daughter |
Who wanted my commitment but instead they get a maybe |
Four or five I juggled them like I’m Barnum & Bailey |
Until my arms got tired of hugging women and breaking |
The less that I was working, the more that I was flirting |
Can’t be somebody’s half if you ain’t a completed person |
Started developing myself first |
Ain’t easy to take it for granted when it’s self-worth |
Kept promises, made money, and stayed honest |
In his thick accent my father said that I made progress |
Became the man that I was meant to be |
Right on time, met the women that was meant for me |
You know the feeling of keeping your phone face up |
No interference so nothing causing a break up |
Drama free |
Man, I’ma- I’ma be real with you man. |
You gon' get a lot of people out here |
messed up thinking that it’s really cool to just leave their phone face up and |
they got a lot of open tabs. |
That wrong text message will come through one day |
and mess up everything you was trying to do, so uh. |
That’s just a warning man, |
it ain’t for everybody yo, but, good job for working hard to get there man, |
for real |
Nowadays I’m just trying to get paid |
Stay away from trouble and avoid an early grave |
Read a little more, speak a little less |
My competition listens and they quick to imitate |
Invited to the studio by so and so |
And everybody think that I’m the one that stole the flow |
Well here’s a quotable, I ain’t jealous or offended |
I’m just glad to see reactions to a style that I invented |
To me, being remembered means your time is finished |
And I’d rather be the reminder with the minor presence |
Not a quick rise and a long fall |
For the long haul, I’m in it so just sit tight |
Things don’t grow if the ground stay dry |
I see the good things when the clouds blown by |
So when the rain comes, I presume my stance |
And if I move, it’s to do my dance |
Bloom |
I can make it rain no matter what the time |
But I’d do it less for some peace of mind |
Reach out and you will understand |
What God put in these hands |
All will be revealed in due time |
