Στίχοι

[Verse 1]
I remember when I discovered purpose
I was good at something finally worth it
Told my father that I'ma be a artist
Foreign parents don't understand we go newer options
They flee their countries, protect their families, pursuing progress
They think of needs, we think of wants, the views are parted
I wanna 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 speaker's 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 rhythms
I took this art so serious
It made any girl I dated so furious
It put tears in they eyes that wouldn't dry
So they turned into rain
So many lessons that I'm learning through pain
Rain Dance
[Verse 2]
When I was younger, I was all about the ladies
Quick to do 'em wrong, even quicker to call 'em 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 juggle 'em like I'm Barnum and Bailey
Until my arms were 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, stayed honest
In his thick accent my father said I made progress
Became the man that I was meant to be
Right on time, met the woman that was meant for me
You know the feeling of keepin' your phone face up
No interference, so nothing causing the break up, drama free
[Verse 3]
Man, I'ma, I'ma be real with you man
You gon' get a lotta people out here messed up thinking
This is really cool to just leave they phone face up
When they got a lotta open tabs
That wrong text message will come through one day
And mess up everything you was tryna do, so uh
That's just a warning man, it ain't for everybody, yo, but
Good job working hard to get there man, for real
[Verse 4]
Nowadays, I'm just tryna get paid
Stay away from trouble and avoid a early grave
Read a lil' more, speak a lil' less
My competition listen and they quick to imitate
Invited to the studio by so and so
And errbody 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 ya 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'll presume my stance
And if I move, it's to do my dance, bloom
[Verse 5]
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, in due time
